End game, why?

[Onji_T]

I don't really see why it has to be an almost completely either/or situation o.o

The current setup is vastly tipped towards end game combat content with a little bit of content for other level ranges and non combat classes. I don't think that that ratio should be reversed so that there's nothing to do once you hit 50, but I do think it shouldn't be quite such a hugely skewed ratio. Turn that "little bit" into a sizable "some" for those other areas, with a bigger "some more" for those who have Ifrit eating out of their hand (or paw for those kitties out there).

This is exactly right, they currently have it set up so that leveling takes no time at all. When you can just breeze through all the levels and hit 50, why wouldn't the focus be on end-game?

Many people have sprinted down the path, maybe because they saw it as a race rather than a journey? Other people coming in see all the people ahead of them and try to catch up as quickly as possible.

What is really needed in this games isn't more mid/end game content, that will come in time. What this game needs is less of this.

Maybe when 2.0 comes out or when level cap is increased, some people can take the newly paved road as less of a race... and instead enjoy the journey again?

And more of this.
