Win/Lose

As a gamer, I don't understand why a difference is outlined between playing a game for fun and playing a game to win.
To me, you should always be trying to improve and learn more about the game. This is especially true in team based games.
It is completely beyond me why some people accuse others of being "tryhards" or "taking the game seriously". That is the objective of team vs team games, to win.
If it wasn't the game wouldn't include the words WINNER and LOSER and associate them with the teams based on various criteria.
Of course you should be attempting to win, if not for yourself then for the other people on the team that want to win.
A carpenter who makes no profit from his work doesn't attempt to create shoddy pieces; why should gaming be any different?
