Lack of End Game Content

[Nims]

how can you expect them to be fine with having resources pulled from what they like to support things they don't?

Then they need to stop being so self absorbed. This is an MMO with several different groups playing, not everything is going to be dedicated to every group and honestly, their self importance isn't on the hardcore playerbase. I don't really care for crafting, however if they need to take resources to work on it, that's fine. As long as everyone is given an equal bit of something.
