Because you quickly exhaust the "fun" from the available gameplay. Now you've got weeks or months til the next content update, an addiction to feed, and months of subscrip fees invested already. What's left to do but grind out whatever is there until that .027% chance of something interesting happening (zomguberepics) hits?
Of course, the more you grind, the less fun it becomes, therefore the more desperately you grind for that rare drop which will make it all worthwhile.
On top of that, you want to be "ready" for the next content update, grinding out the best existing gear so you can get into the new content as quickly as possible since you've been waiting weeks/months for something new to do.
I wonder when MMOs will become coursework for psychology/sociology studies?
