Absence of end-game content : the downfall of every MMO.

[Sybreed]

I can say it, and I will continue doing so. You only have yourself to blame if you go into a launch MMO and complain of lack of endgame content.

The funny thing is, I came to this game from GW2, a game that I played since beta weekend even #2. The entire time GW2 has been out, on both the official forums and GW2 Guru, the #1 complaint has been "omg dis game has zero endgame, I'm soooo bored, this game phails!!1". And yet we have this person here saying GW2 lasted them a year, and this game only 2 months? Really goes to show different strokes for different folks. These complaints are so often based on personal preference, perspective, and play habits, yet they're presented as stone cold objective facts.

Indeed. I was about to write her off as simply delusional upon hearing she played SWTOR for 6 months, but different strokes for different folks!

It's not fact, but an opinion. Welcome to this thing called forums.

I didn't mean you, I meant in general complaints about mmos are presented as fact, such as "this game will FAIL without pvp!", when in reality it's that persons opinion or perspective. I was pointing that out via the fact that you got a lot more time out of a game that is infamous for having zero endgame, and yet you're on this game saying you're already bored 10 months earlier than you were with GW2. It just shows how there is no concrete way for an mmo developer to make people want to play a game for long periods of time, short of massive time sinks and gated content, which are utterly and completely taboo in the mmo world now.
