What Does Endgame Mean?

All right, so...I was just told on another section of this forum that "I'm probably not real endgame" and "probably have some stuff to build up."
Which begs the question, "What does endgame mean?"
I mean, I'm not in a hurry to be bored. But, I've done just about everything at least once.
The recent changes by Cryptic seem to imply that "Endgame" means that you have finished the Leveling Campaign and the Adventures, but I can hear the noses rising and the decadent sniffs at even the implication that something so plebian could be considered ENDGAME.
I've done that, and also completed every campaign except The Fallen. I suppose that's a big black mark on my permanent record. I've only completed Legacy Campaigns and Sharandar. I guess I really do have to look inward and question my life choices.
But, will I be ENDGAME when I have finished that last campaign? Or do I have to do it a requisite number of times?
Is it enough to have defeated Demogorgon and gotten a full set of his baubles, or am I still in need of personal development because I only got the artifact from the chest and bought the waist and neck pieces from the Auction House?
Is there are requisite number of times one must play each dungeon? Is achieving ENDGAME status like an ironman competition where you must prove that you have neither a boredom threshold or a gag reflex?
Or do you have to be able to buy your way in? Is this the Stairway to Heaven that Zeppelin was so confused about? Because, again, I come up short. Is my need for self-development contingent on the fact that I only have one million astral diamonds and therefore cannot by that cool tiger that shows up for three million every now and then on a whim?
I'm being snarky, I know, but my question is genuine - is there actually a definition of "endgame," or is it really the Wild West when it comes to that, and everyone is entitled to a definition with a degree of snobbery to match their personal taste?

Then you've hit endgame!
For some people being the biggest pain in the behind is endgame.
I second the "Wild West" metaphor
And I'm pretty sure Cryptic was so concerened with entitlement about endgame since M16 that somebody could jump in and explain it
> Or banned because they showed poor judgement doing things they knew would be corrected.
That is what makes it fun!
