And as for "What is fun", well, that is a question that doesn't have a single, pat answer, as you know.
But a player can generally articulate what is fun for them and, based on a game's writeup, judge whether or not an event will provide whatever kind of enjoyment they're looking for. Similarly, a GM with their act together will choose carefully as to what sort of event to run at what sort of venue.
Mind you "What does a GM get out of running a game" is no doubt subject for thousands and thousands of words.
