Good MMOs do this. (Destiny)

It's the skinner box + social interaction that keeps you coming back.

I find that what Luke Smith says is true, to an extent. It is more memorable because of the ups and downs. Unfortunately for me, it's a game, a place I come to escape my troubles. So at times the downs come at a time when I need an up. More often than not it's a very enjoyable experience though. Which is why I keep coming back. =)
