For me though, XP and GP are of no real interest at all. What I enjoy about it is:The puzzle of building an effective character, and of utilising my abilities strategically in play.The challenge of whether the group can beat the encounter, and ultimately the adventure, through smart tactics/teamwork/character building.The soft friendly competition of having an effective turn in combat, of showboating, of  doing the most damage/getting the most kills/killing the big bad guy yourself. Think: Legolas and Gimli at Helm's Deep. This is very much based on 'feel' rather than necessarily tracking any particular numbers.All of these were stronger in 4e but are still very much there in 5e.</blockquote>
