Hi,
Just curious what people think of the game's current "endgame". Is it merely just epic dungeon grinding? I do not see a need for people to regularly run foundry quests, other than shear curiosity. I dont see it as a rewarding system at max level. I'm excluding PVP as I am not a huge PVP player.
Is it me, or are there just not a lot of things to do at max level? Do we know if Cryptic has plans to add in raids or other endgame content?

Foundry rewards are nill.
Nothing to significantly progress your character. Epic dungeons for seals = only way to obtain epic gear?
-At 60, the only way to get BiS gear is via seal vendors and drops in epic. This means endless epic grinding.
-Exploration is non existant in the game, other than the foundry.
-After you have your BiS gear, there really is nothing else. I don't think skirmishes or foundry quest reward anything of value at max level and since the event for foundry is an XP boost, its essentially useless if you are looking for reward. But, again, foundry has been the best experience thus far...great quests.
So, endgame seems pretty shallow.
If they add more systems, more things to do (not necessarily talking about raiding), I'd be more inclined to commit myself fully to the game.
Once you get your BiS gear, which it sounds like many already have or are inching closer, what is there to do to progress your character in a game like this? There are no raids, there is no solo, very difficult content to tackle? Sure, create some foundry quests. Yes. Any thing else?
I dont see a lot of variety at max level to keep me going. It'll be dungeon after dungeon, with the foundry daily and skirmish daily mixed in. That be it.
Not to compare, but I will...In GW2, my endgame is/was:
-Grind out BiS gear for 3 out of the 5 max level characters that I had.
-Get to a respectable level in fractals (which DO get difficult as you hit the agony-resist softcap.)
-WvW(I know I said I don't like PvP, but this also has PvE in it and just doesn't feel like a lot of PvP to me)
-Legendary is taking me months to grind for. I am doing it slowly, while dabbling in WvW, finishing map completion, jumping puzzles, and the portal-mini dungeons that are out there.
-Open world dragon fights
-Living story(granted it has been completed, but they are continuing to add to the game at a rapid pace)
A few others...
WoW- Raiding, Scenarios, dungeon grind, LFR.
Rift - Instant adventures, dungeons, raiding, chronicles, onsloughts, rift raiding, rift hunting, etc.
My point is, I do not see a need to grind skirmishes at max level, when dungeons are the best way to progress. I do not see the need to grind foundry quests when dungeons are the way to progress. They need more variety to obtain high end items, and then places to utilize them to test your mettle.
Hmm what about fun?
It needs more than one kind of boss fight for that.
Or less impossible ones that don't require 3 classes.
