Splitting up posts because of the 1000 character limit and 2700 characters is too long.

I have the same opinion as the poster from here:

* Copied and Pasted *

So after grinding out my complete Darklight set and suffering through the Titan fight to earn my Relic all I have left is grinding more tombs? Or I could run Binding Coil with my FC but truly what is the point.

The game offers little to no challenge. The end game is just complete monotonous repetition of the same lazy and uninteresting content over and over. "Well go craft or level a new class", the masses cry out. Great, an even worse experience now that all the quests are completed. Not to mention I didn't buy this game to sit around playing lame mini games to make digital goods.

I can't even bring myself to log in at this point. It is just so damn boring and frankly a waste of my time. Sure it just came out...well not really but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. However look at games like Rift and Guild Wars 2 which launched with a decent selection of end game content to work through.

All in all I'm already considering quitting...I know there is potential here. I also can't lie I like a lot about this game, but it just feels like the end came to soon and there isn't much to keep me coming back.

I feel the same. I started in Dec, hit level 50. Got full DL set. Got titan weapon and relic. Got wyrm body. Got onion Waists. Got every other class to level 30 for cross over skills and have no desire to reroll if it does not allow my main class to get stronger.

This "rushed through content" argument I have heard for the first time in Tera, is the dumbest cop out argument I have ever heard in an mmorpg game. Try playing old school lineage 2 (prelude low rate private server), ragnarok online, everquest, ashrons call and "rushing through the content". Go ahead and try.

I want to play a game that rewards time spent on game + effort put into it. Not a game where I have a mommy telling me I'm only allowed to play for this long before I can't progress.

I've also heard the arguments "devs put a cap on grind for currency ( for gear ) so it forced payers to keep paying the monthly subscription." Really? You think I'm going to keep paying for a game that I can only play once per week? (1 day 2 roulettes = 100 myth, 7 CT groups = 350 Myth = 450 myth cap per week = 1 day of playing) Well that's one opinion and good luck with that.

If you edit your original post, there is no character limit.

Furthermore, this game does its best to balance hardcore players with way too much free time, and casual players. It's showing no signs of changing. Get over it, or unsub.

You want challenge, but you also don't see a point in trying to progress through the Binding Coil...

Honestly, if you don't have Twintania and maybe the Extreme Primals on farm, you really don't have a whole lot of room to say that there's nothing challenging in the game, because only a very small portion of the community is capable of that.

That was part of his copy pasta from someone else. But it's true, you can hardly complain about nothing to do when you don't even do all the weekly content...

Really? People are pugging T1-4 every day. Hell, the only currently pretty badly puggable stuff is Extreme mode Primals atm, but that will change when people know there rotations and let's be honest, it ain't hard.

Guild Wars 2 which launched with a decent selection of end game content to work through.

Please enlighten me. GW2 doesn't even have raids, and virtually zero, countem, zero remarkable encounters. And all I did in their dungeons was dodge button out of the circles and use my ranged attack (as a thief) because melee was punished 100x HARDER than in this game. Bosses where you literally stand in one spot and shoot arrows for 10 minutes. Riveting gameplay, Arenanet.

Perhaps you mean the WvW, which is ultimately pointless and where victory is determined by who had the most people to stay up later than the other team to leave bases ticking while everyone else is asleep. Which, not to mention, got totally screwed over by bandwagoning and server transfers.

How many people honestly PuG through the entirety of the Binding Coil, including Turn 5 (I did specifically call out Twintania)? I'll admit to seeing and participating in people successfully pugging Turn 1 and 2, not as many able to PuG Turn 4, and even less able to PuG Turn 5, but that's beside the point.

Just because some people CAN go through the binding coil with a PuG doesn't mean EVERYONE can. The OP's copy+pasta says there's no challenge, but that person also refuses to do coil, which is currently the most challenging content in the game. Do coil, have Twintania and the Extreme Primals on farm (or, better yet, PuG farm), and THEN say there's no challenge left.

If you're already bored at that initial stage.. then you probably won't last trying to gather myth for your AF2 either.

Just started endgame. Doesn't want to work to get better equipment to join parties for more content. Complains they are bored of endgame already.
