Some people find enjoyment in "winning", I know for me personally I hate losing.
I also know that because I take the time to figure out the tiny mechanics behind the game, I'll almost never mistake for someone cheating, when it's really just a bug/exploit.
For example in PS, players for a long time didn't know what to make of being shot around corners. They didn't know how clientside worked, so the first thing they did was immediately accuse said person of cheating. Personally for me, I dislike being ignorant, which is why I'm a Group 1/2 kind of player. Did I work to get where I am? Somewhat, not as hard as someone who plays sports for sure. But I did have to put in the time to learn what I have learned.
I suppose that my competitive nature really prevents me from just playing FPS/RTS style games casually. For me, I hate losing and so I want to know why I lost. I can play Tetris or poker casually though for some reason.
