    "Glamour is the End Game"...What do you feel when you hear that?

    Apologies in advance if this thread was already made. I notice people saying it a lot in many threads and I do agree that glamour is this game's big part of end game. So I was curious how that made people REALLY feel.

    Makes me feel that it is incorrect, because we all know fishing is the real endgame.

    Fishing TRUE ENDGAME!

    But glamour is a nice second choice

    Anyone who disagrees has clearly either never tried to catch a legendary fish, or has simply gotten REALLY lucky, (still haven't had any luck with that cursed Titanic Sawfish, and it's one of the easy ones). Fishing for scripts is actually a really dumb downed version, which any level 60 fisher is thankful for.....

    People say it because of a combination of the facts that the game's itemization system is so linear and content gets outdated so quickly that the only lasting goals or real point of character customization is glamour at this point.

    It's sad but true.

    Maybe it'll change in 3.2+ but meh.

    Nailed it.

    It is infuriating at times when I think about it and often has me second guess my decision to keep playing. But I do love a lot about this game and the friends I have made in it so I suppose the pros still out weigh the cons for me.

    Interestingly, I change my glamour and appearance more often than I change my gear.

    This.

    Thordan's Reign is 1 month old, and once relics drop next week it will be completely worthless for anything other than (you guessed it) glamour.

    This is almost true; but "lasting goal" is kind of missing the point. The only real goal in this game is beating the content while the content is difficult. The real fun and real challenge of the game are from beating content before you overgear it and before they nerf it. Don't even need "world firsts", beat stuff at your own pace depending on the time you can commit to the game. I raid somethin like 4-6 hours a week, less than some do in a day; I'll never get world firsts but the raid content is still going to be the majority of what endgame really is.

    I have some good glamours like a lot of people and have fun doing it, but I certainly wouldn't be paying a subscription if that's all there was to it.

    I am enjoying glamouring my jobs but I wouldn't exactly call it endgame. But I do spend more time on this than actual raiding (savage)
