I think spending a lot of time to reach a goal in a MMO and finally obtaining said goal is WAY more rewarding than getting things instantly

I remember that time when my guild managed to get server first on Heroic Lich King 25man in WOW after spending about 500+ attempts on him prenerfs. The awesome experience of hearing everybody on Ventrilo going nuts and shouting YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH WOOOOOOOT OOOMG WE DID IT, was WAY more greater experience than the loot we received afterwards.

I hope I get similar experiences when my FC gets to clear Bahamuts raid and finally getting Relic +1 and AFs+1s etc. I dont care if it takes months, when we finally get it done, it will be worth it as I have a ton of fun goofing around with my friends in FC and LS
