Imagine an MMO. In this mmo the best loot drops from the hardest bosses. So people play to challenge as hard a boss as they can manage to get as good loot as possible. However only 1% of the player base is capable of challenging the hardest boss and most people just stop around the mid boss levels if they even get anywhere at all.

That is capitalism.

Now imagine an MMO where the gear is distributed evenly and completely independent of the difficulty of boss you face. You could get a legendary piece of gear just as likely from killing the final boss as you could from killing some random wolf. Gear is acquired utilizing loyalty icons obtained from logging on and doing basic chores instead of from dungeons or bosses. Everyone can have the best gear technically but only those loyal to the game will actually get any gear worth anything and there's no reason to attempt to try the harder stuff.

That is socialism.
