What are your preferred modes of play?

[Tonguez]

Good combats are certainly fun but they are the least preferred mode of play for me, I tend to treat combat as a skill challenge and am more interested in the roleplay and story crafting aspects - which brings in exploration and discovery, faction intrigue and world development

You left off simple fun -- beer n pretzels, joking around, thinly veiled pop culture references and so on.

I like that too, but that really isn't something specific to RPGs. That's pretty much every social activity I do.

World building is valid there too -- it's basically crafting the world itself, as opposed to crafting an iron helm in the world (which would be a pretty silly category). But hey, maybe crafting helms is your thing too.

Worldbuilding is how I get the most enjoyment out of the hobby. Running games for others to explore and interact with that world is second. Playing is third.

Maybe, but it IS a mode of play for some groups, where the relaxing social experience of it all is the primary reason to play at all.

I can find my fun in the majority of those things, which makes my answers kind of uninteresting.

I can't be the only one that likes combat! C'mon. You know you like it.

Challenges + Combat.

The actual game of the role playing game.

Yeah, at some level I like all these things. I guess some more than others, so I voted on "the most" that way. I suppose a top 3 or 5 would help define it a bit more.

I voted as a player. As a DM, my votes would be considerably different, with roleplay/acting" being the only real common denominator.

 

[DragonLancer]

Story and world building is primarily my thing.
