And yes...we all know new content is coming. But there is not this magical world of content that suddenly becomes available at 50. Instead it's actually the end of most of the content in the game (or super easy mode because there aren't lots of r50 quest lines or anything being released to play, anything else is lower rank). I can easily see reluctance to get to 50 because that ends the progression and story for your main class. And if it is a class you ranked up, and enjoy playing...well that's
The game is being improved... And it's been stated that this will take a long time. If you don't have the patience for this, play when the game is ready... Simple, no?

And again, there was never a plan for endgame at this level. We were not meant to sit at 50 for over a year doing nothing. People have known for a long time that there are large overhauls taking place. If the thread was addressed in the form of constructive feedback (ie; "I'd like to see this happen with gear...") then it would be different. But it wasn't. Useless whining about something that's going to be changed. No helpful tips, no solid suggestions...

And trust me, I've been at this game long enough to know what hitting 50 entails. I'm not bitching about it though... because I've read the information provided and understand what is changing. When new things are provided, be they mechanics, lore, endgame, then I will complain and offer suggestions if I see fit. But I'm not going to start pouting about something I know isn't going to be the same several months down the road.
