"Given the opportunity, players will optimize the fun out of a game."
It's essentially an inevitability with competitive multiplayer games. If the goal is to "win", then the most efficient method of achieving that will be found and dominate the scene. For MMORPG's like WoW, that really sucks when the whole point of the game was to explore, quest, collect gear, and build your character however you wanted.
