    Yeah, I really like having something to shoot for. Figuratively speaking, not only literally. Have had LOTR for 10+ years; never reached Valinor, and only very rarely reach TABA. I have managed to conquer pretty hard-to-get wizard modes on a few other pins, for example I have gotten Vacation Jackpot on White Water and reached and won the Final Battle on The Shadow. I have later sold those two pins, and having seen everything the games had to offer rule-wise was part of why I could let them go.

    Quoted from jar155:

    I don't think I can think of one thing in life that I would enjoy more if I was worse at it.

    Oh, but I don't want to be worse than I am. Quite the opposite, I want to become better. And that state of always wanting to improve myself, combined with knowing that by improving I can see more of these games and their stories, is a nice place to be. If I was good enough to reach every wizard mode in every game, I'm sure I would find other goals for myself, like winning every single Circuit event in a given year or something ridiculous like that. But to me, right now, I really enjoy having games' depth and challenges as a part of my pinball journey. Doesn't mean I don't want to improve.
