One of the main things is that in retrospect, the game has lots of content to do. But that is if your first starting out and are not cutscene skipping and are not buying a story skip. Especially if doing the side content aside from the msq. The thing is, its a drought if your at the current patch, the top of the mountain. Only thing to do is either:
A) Unsub and do something else.
B) Make an alt to re-experience all of the content again.
C) Idle around and become bored

This is why there can be a disconnect between players that are caught up and those that are catching up. If your still catching up, you are not experiencing the drought and you might possibly believe that those who are caught-up are just acting entitled.
