Role playing in the RPG..

That's like saying people who want to visit Paris only do so because where they live lacks something that Paris has.

Uh yes? If your city had it, you wouldn't need to go to Paris…

That's absurd.

Nobody NEEDS to go to Paris. People WANT to go to Paris. Because it's a place they haven't been, not because it has something they currently lack.

This is a silly argument.

Of course it's a want and not a need. But you want to go there because it's unique! You want to see things and do things that you can only see and do in Paris.

EVERY place is unique. Bethany, CT has things that NO OTHER PLACE ON EARTH has. (My dog, for example.)

That doesn't mean that wanting to go to these places has to be driven by regret. In fact, I'd be hard-pressed to point to anything in my life where my actions are driven by regret.

Humans are a bit more multifaceted than you're giving them credit for.
