It's a quantitative measure of performance which allows you to set yourself goals and improve on said goals. Many people are also competitive and wish to be better than other people, and there is nothing wrong with that. I am a hyper-competitive individual and seek to constantly improve myself to be the best tank possible, the best healer possible, the best dps possible, etc. Comparison of myself with other players and with my own performance, as well as analysing said performance, is a large part of any game to me.

EDIT: And yes, Tiggy is right. I speak to a lot of casual friends who say they're too intimidated to try T1 and don't want to drag their parties down, but have no way of knowing whether they are ready. Often I'll run it with them and make it as stress-free as possible, but it would be nice to have some assurance.
