Understanding the ways in which people may interact with a game can be essential information for designers. Many discussions of gamification include references to Richard Bartle's four player types: Achievers, Explorers, Killers and Socialites.
Nicoholas Yee does a nice job of summarizing Bartle's types. Achievers, he says,
"Are driven by in-game goals, usually some form of points gathering-whether experience points, levels or money."
(Note: The other three types will be discussed below in #5 Explorers, #11 Killers and #19 Socialites.)

"Good gamification design seeks to understand and align an organization's objectives with a player's intrinsic motivation (an innate drive to do something, or your pursuit of activities that are rewarding in and of themselves). Then, through the use of extrinsic rewards and intrinsically satisfying design, move the player through their journey of mastery. This journey requires elements such as desire, incentive, challenge, reward and feedback to create engagement."
