The mechanical purpose of leveling is to progress. That is fact. Of course people may never get to 60, but that doesn't change the purpose of the mechanic.

The purpose of playing is to have fun. Playing typically results in the acquisition of experience which inevitably leads to leveling.

I had a hell of a good time back in 1999 playing a level 10 troll SK with my buddy. We'd drink a bunch of in-game alcohol and go jump off the wizard pyramid and druid rings in S Ro. Not a lot of leveling, but a helluva fun time anyway.
