Why is there still so much to do at end game?

Please enlighten us what the game is about then.

It's about everything you can do in Eorzea, it's about fishing, it's about crafting, gathering , playing with other classes/jobs, making a company house, building a Free Company, helping friends, finding stuff you didn't find before, crafting the best possible gear, making new friends, playing with old friends, random acts of kindness such as raising someone you find laying on the ground as others rush past, making a new player an HQ set of armor, just because you can, furnishing your company house, hanging with friends, chocobo farming (if and when it arrives), collecting all the best armor pieces (yes, be a completionist you JRPG fans), etc...

You see to me, you and players like you seem awfully limited in your horizons, all you see is end-game raiding, nothing else. Frankly I find the whole mindset of the end-game raiders I have run into in-game to be pretty annoying. Min/max, efficiency, speed run, gear check, must have experience, relic +1 or go home, etc... There are a ton of words that can be used to describe those attitudes, but that's not the point, the point is that the laser like narrow focus on raiding leaves almost no room to enjoy yourself in this game. No mater how much end-game content is added at each patch, you've all proven that you will complete it in record time, analyze the new content, grind out the best gear set, and speed run it with ruthless efficiency until all the joy and pleasure has been squeezed out of it by the speed run grind.

Then there will be another cycle of whining that you're bored, the game is too easy, and there is nothing to do, followed by the usual threats to leave. Someone like me will post as I have done and someone like you will ask what the game is about if not raiding, and so the cycle will perpetuate itself.
