Query about solo endgame content

I'm sure you've all heard this question asked so many times, you're sick of it. "What endgame content is there?" But I have requirements.
I'm a solo player. I like MMOs because I like getting into conversations on channels, but as far as gameplay goes I've never found anyone I can find the time to group with on a regular basis. And by that I mean I'm the problem case; my attention span wanders so much I can't commit to anything. So it's best if I play solo, where I can do things at my own pace. This means I don't like raids. Or hard-mode dungeons.
I'm not a grinder. I don't really care about having the neat gear. If the only reward to gameplay is more gear, count me out.
I'm not into PvP. In fact I think it should be banned from the game, but I respect that other people like other things. PvP, to me, is plain antisocial. If you find pleasure in taking out other peoples' characters and making them unhappy, then you're a terrible person. But, meh. You keep your PvP over there and I'm fine with that.
I'm a builder. I like advancing my characters in experience and learning new abilities. I'm not one for story, not the way Foundry works. If there's a story involved I want to experience ALL OF IT. I do not want to play through Part 1 and then have to wait for Parts 2 through 10. By the time Part 2 comes out, I'll have forgotten about Part 1. So I'll play through Part 1 and get annoyed because I've already done this before.
Oh, I'm also not one for roleplay. Most people do not roleplay the way I want to roieplay. I want action roleplay (I'd do dungeons for this!) but most people want to sit around and whine about relationships. If I wanted to whine about relationships I'd turn the computer off and go have a life. It's a fantasy world about heroism. Why are we not out being heroic??? (Answer: Because people want to rush through a dungeon and don't want to bother with roleplay. Even the roleplaying guilds who say they do this, still just want to rush through a dungeon.)
Given these stipulations, is there endgame content in Neverwinter for me?

I'm a similar player in some ways. My primary interest in RPGs, MMO or other is character advancement although I perhaps define character advancement a little differently since I would include gear in this, up to a point. I also favour solo play since I have a much more casual attitude to gaming and broader interests both within and outside of gaming.
Post level 60 solo content in Neverwinter larely revolves around repetitive daily quests for small advances in stats (boons), gear or items to improve gear (refining for artifact weapons and gear). I view it as a grind. It's what I consider to be a high maintenance game. There's no new skills or anything similar that are perhaps more core to the character.
