    23 / 24 CAMPS (missing one long lost camp!)
    20 / 62 AETHERYTE GATES (and a pile of gates I see)

    That will keep you going for a while if you need things to do!
    This example is always interesting and comes up relatively often. If doing any of the things you've mentioned held value for the person in whose face you're throwing them, they would have done them. The gates and camps are not content, as a side note. That's like saying commuting to work is content in my day. It's incidental to some other thing I'm doing. In other words it's a means to an end, not an end in itself. If I go to some camps on the way to a quest, great. If I never visited that place before, it's because there is no reason to go there or pass through there.

    It's an interesting issue because when people on these forums say they have nothing to do, what they really mean is there is nothing left for them to do that they want to do. Is the post itself a form of trolling? I don't know with certainty because the person might be genuinely asking what else is there for them to potentially do in the upcoming patch. I tend not to just assume people are trolling because it's a bit of a jaded way to approach everything, despite the fact that it seems to be the norm here. That being said responding to them by stating all the things they clearly didn't already do for whatever reason isn't an answer. That form of reply is definitely trolling the OP and contributes nothing. You're intentionally suggesting a bunch of ridiculous things just to bait the person and to prove in a back handed manner that "see! you haven't done everything! so there!"... That's just silly.

    Maybe it's the OP's fault for not clearly articulating that he or she has done all the things they wanted to do in the game and are now awaiting some new choices they haven't yet either explored and done or passed on instead of phrasing it as "There is nothing left to do". But it certainly doesn't make anything better by replying that way.
