The clear separation in opinion here makes it clear that there is 'plenty' of stuff to do... people just don't care about any of it. Which isn't SE's problem, as long are there are enough people that 'do' care, which there seem to be at the moment.

If nothing on that OP's list appeals to you at all, or even if only Raiding does, you're probably in the wrong game. I foresee more and more fluff content, time sinks, and basically alternate ways to play that have nothing to do with getting epic gear coming our way. Golden Saucer for example ^_^ (which I can't wait for).
