Endgame is all still just gear grinding. You're doing the same places over and over again and (with some people) complaining about not going through them fast enough because of noobs. I don't know, I'm in that group that actually likes leveling. I leveled most of the jobs in FFXI and didn't do much endgame. Same on 14. I still have to do Sohr Khai and never stepped in Alexander. But back to endgame serving a purpose. What is it? Getting gear that will be obsolete in the next patch?
