Its overwhelming when these patches come out. There is just so much to do, and yet only half of it is really fun. (or not, I guess it depends for you)

There is this attitude inside MMO's where everyone wants to max everything, be the richest and whatever else your goals may be. Some people are completion-ists, and some just like to brag nonstop.

--> There is always going to be someone who is further along~ it doesn't matter who you are. Then more content comes out and those people have to race to keep up.

Having said that, just think about what you do enjoy in this game. Play selectively. Just because some boring grindy content (or non-content as it may be) is there, it doesn't mean we all have to participate. Everything has an expiration date in an MMO. Gear gets outdated.

Create your own achievable goals that make you happy, and you may not be so frustrated anymore. ヾ(＠⌒ー⌒＠)ノ
