Enjoying the Game after 50?

[Pike_Iridae]

First off- loved the game, the story line, the whole thing was great fun. Now after fifty... all I see is grinding over and over. And getting bitched at for not having the equipment that i'm grinding for so i can grind faster.

Thinking about just lvling up another class instead. But what are you guys doing? Am I missing something?

EDIT:

Good feed back. I appreciate it.

I suggest an FC, and setting up goals for yourself. The end game is all grind while you wait for extra story bits to be added. However, that is what you make of it - now you get to form stories of your own. There are various guides on gearing your 50.. Castrum/Ak/Relic quest and primals/ COBAH etc etc. But doing that solo is pretty lame. Also ensure these goals match up with new patched content in the future.

Exactly, the end game in every online game ever will be some form of a "grind". That's just what it is, but if you get a good group of friends it is a lot of fun to do these things together. Since hitting 50 I have completed the current story arch, my first jobs story, and just completed my relic quest the other day. When I finally beat titan while being healed by 2 friends I happen to also know IRL, it was just so much fun, and getting to talk about it the next day was even better.

Do whatever you wanna do that you think is fun. In the end that's why you're playing a game.

Welcome to an MMO. In a single-player game, you'd be done with it and move on to the next one. In an MMO, you get some long-term goals to grind towards. What did you really expect?
