Being lazy in a MMO.

I played World of Warcraft for 6 month, Played about 2 hours a day or more and only got to level 48, As a Hunter(Easiest leveling class)...I tutored players and watch them hit the level 70 cap. I enjoyed doing that, But those same people who i tutored called me lazy and telling me how easy it is to get to level 70 and how fun it will be, Yet I stayed and I guess I was lazy becuase leveling was tedious and I enjoyed what I was doing.
Now I'm playing runescape and I do this thing called 1 Iteming(I take 1 good item and PvP with it and use a prayer that lets me keep that item so I dont lose it)When I pk with people they ask me, Why are you wearing nothing but you're clothes, I tell them that I don't want to spend 5 hours cutting down some trees for a measly ammount of money only to have it take away by a merchant who make a whole lot off my labor(The game if full of merchants).
I went off a bit so here I will get to the main thing I'm trying to discuss. Can you truly be lazy in a video game, Most people would say that a MMO is not a video game its a completely diffrent thing where Investment of Time = Reward and I guess right now its the main true thing. So if someone does not want to invest that time and just wants to not Grind/Harvest/Raid/Quest does that make them lazy. I allway thought that when you put the word "Game" in something it should be enjoyable, I know that my enjoyed is different from everyone 's. I just want to discuss it because it has been bugging my mind for a while.

No, it's not lazy. It all falls down to what you enjoy in an MMO. Some people like spending 5 hours cutting trees to get some armor.
Once you've established what you like, find a suitable MMO that will meet your needs.
Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and consciencious stupidity.
No matter how you play the game, you're still sitting on your ass, playing a video game. All playstyles are equally lazy.
What you're describing is an example of poor MMO development. If a game ever feels like work, then the developer has done something wrong. Granted not every activity will be as fun as the next, but a game should never force you into a monotonous cycle.
Life is about balancing work and rewards. Gaming should be about balancing rewards and greater rewards.
