Because gathering better equipment (than others) through accomplishments is the current meaning of MMORPGs for the majority of players (especially hardcore players). It's how you gain the upper hand in a MMORPG. Why else would someone play a MMORPG in terms of the game? Sure, people also join MMORPGs to make online-friends, but the core of the game itself is character progression and people simply don't want to be cheated in terms of this. You could call it stupid - it is, (not because someone feels cheated by another, but because the design of the game itself forces this feeling) but that doesn't change the fact that MMORPGs as a game are all about character progression.
