Perhaps the entire contention is based on one trait that is present in all of us: laziness.
Not merely laziness though, it encompassess the mindset of wanting to achieve something, but is unwilling to put in much effort.
Doesn't it apply in real life too?
What makes you guys think that a virtual world controlled and populated by real life humans won't face the same problem?
Regardless of how the practice if being handled in various societies, however, the entire mindset persists globally. I don't see a reason why anyone will consistently be motivated to achieve something if the end product does not provide much satisfaction, or the trade offs are far greater than the result itself.
