The idea that you should do what's fun and play for fun is more central to this game. If you want a specific reward you can go for it, but i find this game best played where I play for fun and see the reward as a bonus.

The real bonus for people who hunt AP is the one no one ever talks about. And it ends up being better than an armor skin, which is hit or miss. You might like it, you might not. I don't like the hell fire skin and so it's not a motivation.

 

But those gold finds and those magic finds and karma boosts and XP boosts all add up. I get stuff done faster than people witihout my achievements. Sure I might be only getting a percentage more gold or a few more rare drops when I kill stuff than another player, but, I kill stuff constantly. All the time. And that stuff adds up. It adds up to alot. I'm sitting on over 39k XP and when I level a new character or a new mastery which I often do by killing, I level them much faster. it'S much better than a skin I may or may not use, because no matter what I do in this game, I'm going to be killing something at some point.

That is a good point, I hadn't thought of all the boosts you get. Permanent account-wide bonuses are pretty sweet.
