Why ?

Why does so many developper consider "Role playing" a better/deeper
style of play than "Achievement"? Hey, I really do love to roleplay
but achieving something is very much what becoming a hero is all
about. Maybe achievement has been badly implemented in MMORPG so far
(as in often mindless and repetitive), but this is no reasons to say
that kind of play is any "shallower" than any others.
