Not just in your video games either. There are a number of good TED talks on the subject of gamification in meatspace. Get started with

If you don't like leveling up, get ready to /wrist or move to Amish country.

That's the point in specialization. To be better at something than the guy next to you who didn't put in the time. Dev has stated that the overall difference won't spike in any area but manifest as an overall increase in competence so it won't be game destroying. That and null sum +1/-1 type play feel customization but that doesn't apply as it's null sum.
