why i quit before reaching endgame (feedback from a new player)

[LaylaTsarra]

My alt is level 64 paladin, and I have only done ARR. It's still on level 50 Story quests.

I leveled two alts on Mateus to level 50 in less than 10 days for the car including earning the MGP needed for the rewards. It's really not that hard to do and it doesn't take all that much time given the skip buttons work wonders. Granted there are additional update quests past Pratorium to get through prior to Heavensward for those who wish to continue past 50 but they can be sped through pretty quickly as well especially with only one character.

I have no plans to further level mine at the moment.

Endgame isn't some panacea that will make the game wonderful if you aren't really enjoying the journey to get there.
