What is Endgame?

I mean, I know what Endgame means, I was a raid healer in WoW for years, what I mean is what is the endgame in CO? In Star Trek Online its running task force missions to get marks for rep to add more stats/abilities to your character, in Neverwinter its about the same thing, only the Campaign's are a bit more hands on. In both chases they improve on your character so you can deal with newer, harder content that is released (or just content in general).
Here I'm not so sure what it is. From what I understand this game hasn't seen a major content update in years has it? So what do you actually do in endgame that keeps you doing it? Do you get power unlocks? Costume unlocks? Is it just gear upgrades?
Keep in mind I'm not complaining or anything I love the game thus far but I'm just trying to figure out what I'll be doing after 40 other than tweaking my costume

Cosmic Monster
Cosmics are giant monster that act like open world raids. This require a coordination of many players in specific roles and strategy to defeat these colossal juggernaut. The currently, its just Kiga, Ape, and Dino. You do these to get SCR and GCR, but you get costume and Cosmic Secondary Gear drops.
Teleios Ascendant
Teleios Ascendant is the most difficult Lair/Dungon in the game, currently. The Lair consist of fighting many bosses with their own mechanic and a whole lot of team work. Having roles is require to have a successful run in this Lair. You do these to get SCR and GCR with the occasional Determination Secondary Gear drop.
Rampage
Rampages are special Alerts that rotate each after a certain amount of days. These alert require the most amount of players do these relatively difficult alerts. You do these to get Tokens require to get the Justice Gear set and SCR. For the complete Justice Set, you need 6 Superdense Diamond (Gravitar), 2 Hypercooled Ignimbrite (Fire and Ice), 2 Destreum Bearing (Sky Command), and 2 Petrified Scale (Lemurian Invasion).
Dailies
Dailies is a common term for the quest given to the three main alerts: Grab, Burst, and Smash. The Daily Quest rotate between doing 3 grabs, 3 burst, 3 smash, and one of each call APB. They’re very easily to do just to obtain 5 SCR.
Custom Alerts
These custom alerts are alerts that are part of a large rotation that change every week. The difficulty varies from alert to alert, but they’re all tie to the quest, Vigilance. Vigilance reward the player 30,000 Questionite for completing all the listed custom alert. Each Custom Alert has their own daily that reward the player 5 SCR for completing it for the day. Each of these Custom Alerts also has a varieties of rewards
Warzone
The Warzone is a zone exclusively for level 40. Its meant to be THE area for endgame. There are three important content within this zone you should know about:
Long War
The Long War Questline is a bunch of quests that have you interact with the zone itself. These quests reward a good amount of SCR. Completing the Long War require the player to complete Nightwatch 5 times, which each Nightwatch requiring 5 Warzone daily quests. Completing the Long War allows you to purchase things that require the completion of this quest in the GCR store.
Open Mission
The Open mission in the Warzone consist of three OM bosses, Oubliette, Slug, and Portal Guardian. Each Open Mission give the team of players a good amount of SCR. If your team manage to beat all three OM in the time limited...
Eidolon of Destruction
At the start of the game, Shadow Destroyer was hype up to be the cause of many problem surrounding all the Crisis and eventually, the VB apoc. He is now ascended to become the Eidolon of Destruction. While one would consider him a cosmic monster, in a sense, he is a league of his own. He requires all three OM to be finish without having one of the OM being open. The fight itself require the largest amount of team play and coordination if you ever consider having some sort of victory. Eido is the hardest fight in the game.
Events
Events are what they are, Events. They occur once or twice of month, or a specific month depending on the event. These Events host many daily quests, open world mission, and all other content all fit in a central theme, depending on the event. They generally give you costume pieces, vehicle, devices, and a whole lots of other goodies.
Costume Building
With all the costume you earn, bought, or given, you might as well put them to good use. Champions Online has the highest amount of character customization in any MMO at the moment. You could spend hours making different character from your imagination or something you saw in another media. You can spend hours, if not days, playing around with the tailor, alone.
Costume Contest
Costume Contest are contests hosted by many players for the best costume of the category. This is mostly a community made event, but a very consistent one.
Altitis
Champions Online is the ultimate game for Altitis, like myself. With a cap of 100 character slots and an infinite amount of customization from costume and powerset, this can keep you busy for months.
OV
Onslaught Villain is a pseudo PvP/PvE content that let you become one of three villains. You generally go around attacking players (you don’t) or killing targets to fill in your quota for the daily. You do these to get the OV secondary gear, which are the best in the game.
PvP
Player Vs Player is another for of endgame, ranging from dueling to Hero Game. You fight other players.
Nemesis
You create your Nemesis and do Nemcom, the Questline, or Save the Earth to get those tokens to unlock all those costumes.
Mega Destroids
An Open World Event in Millennium City that require a good amount of players to do. It consist of fighting Dr. Destoryer’s army, leading up to the duo Mega Destroid. You do this to get SCR and the costume drops.
Rping
The RP in MMORPG. Rping is still a thing in CO, although you have to go and look for them to do the Roleplaying.
Frog and ASCII Open Mission
There isn’t much to say about this other than that these two open mission can drop SCR, devices unique to that Open Mission, and costume pieces.
Adventure Pack
Adventure Pack is the closest thing you will get to a storyline (the other being Crisis). You pick an Adventure Pack, and you follow the storyline like as if its a comic book. You generally get SCR from doing these.
Steel Crusade
A Questline that gives the player SCR for doing it. There nothing much else to say other than it there.
Unity
A questline that have you do stuff for the Unity. You only do this if you’re utterly and desperately need of SCR.
Idling in Rencen
The ultimate endgame. You stand around, usually in front of the MC Powerhouse Gate, and look important while you afk or watch a bunch of players duel each other.

I will admit, I spend some time there looking at all the peoples costume. Some are like 'wow, I never thought to do that' or 'wonder where that piece comes from' others are like ' ...did you just hit randomize and click ok?'
Thank you very much for listing all that, now I know what to look forward to
One more thing: are 'cosmic drops' the highest gear in the game? and what color is it?
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
Ah, the old CoX grind, I know it well
