That depends mostly on what you want out of the game. Some people live for the hardcore raiding, and for them hitting the level cap is just the beginning. Some people don't care about endgame at all, and spend their time leveling other jobs, doing quests, crafting, gathering, etc. There's no right or wrong answer here. If you want to just keep living in the world and ignore the raid scene entirely, you can. There are always more jobs to level, items to craft, fish to catch, treasure maps to find...

It's easy to forget out here in internet land where people like to have technical discussions about endgame content, but very few people are actually pushing progression. The vast majority of players spend the vast majority of their time not raiding. Most of us wouldn't still be playing if raiding was the be all end all at level 80.
