Rift is made by Trion, formed by Buttler (ex EA) and Jon Van Canegham (ex NCSoft, but for you probably more importantly ex-mm6/7/etc). Of fucking course you like it.

No different than the McD cashier that moves up to bugger flipper to manager with the dream of one day running his very own McD franchise someday. (which will of course be better than the one he leveled up in) Its just the way things work.
