It all depends on how you practice scales.
If you mindlessly run through them, then playing them is not to a useful 
purpose. 
However, since we are supposedly musical creators each time we play, if you 
put each scale into a musical context and create   some type of musical 
challenge with it , then scales become helpful creative, difficult(if your challenges 
are), and fun.
