When this game starts getting fun?

So, I never played any MMORPG before, and one day I was googling for neverwinter nights 3 and stumbled upon this. I decided to give the game a try and rolled a GF. Hearing that "real game starts at level cap" I patiently leveled through 1-60 which wasn't too exciting, but I mostly liked it nevertheless because watching all those green pastures one hour before sleep made me kinda serene, and I could also play a drinking game each time I heard a terrible fake scottish accent.
At level 60 I waited few days until my platesmithing hit level 20, which I then realised was a total waste of time I could use for leveling leadership. Then I bought purple gear for few thousands AD on auction and rushed through level 60 dungeons with a bunch of strangers who were polite enough to say "Hi" and "thx" before leaving the group, never to be seen again. I then tried Feywild. a.k.a. "3 Round Meadows To Grind Trolls And Cyclopes" for few days and got 350+ to deflection and a blue shield. Now someone tell me please when things are actually start getting exciting, I'm beginning to worry.

That's not my experience. Myself and the majority of the few other players I regularly speak with do not PvP at all. I have two lvl 60 characters and enough fun with PvE, DDs and Skirms.

If you are one who enjoys PvP, prepare to be frustrated. Lack of variety and bots make PvP anything but enjoyable in my eyes..
I think you get what I'm saying here.
That's basically what freaks me out most in neverwinter. I can imagine a lot of self-imposed challenges, like trying to solo dungeons in level-appropriate gear or put my gear in backpack, farm for greens for 1 hour and then try to survive with them in pvp etc, but I usually expect a game-designer to think about such things for me. So far game works like this: swim on the torrent of XP to level 60, buy out gear on AH, run few dungeons and get bored.
I guess since there people who put out 200$ on packs there is really something that I missed, so I keep searching.
I don't. I don't know any pvpers
You could make a game featuring epic, honed, finely balanced PvE content requiring top notch communication and out-of-the-box thinking, and PvP featuring 'flinging cowpats at each other', and people would STILL walk around bragging about how they were the best cowpat flinger.
Even just look at this forum less then one page right now of posts from users. Even the population on the forums is going down hill. I will check the game out after the new update mod 2. Roll a ranger like 80% of the population will be doing. LOL there will be tons of rangers running around.
The game (and the fun) is what you make of it. You didn't have to buy all that gear. Did you even try to socialize with the people you grouped with? How about adding them to your friend list and grouping again? How about joining a guild and making friends there? Some of the responsibility of finding the excitement belongs to you.
Hmm, maybe an MMO isn't the right style of game for you?
That's just it though, this game lacks any in depth PvE that it practically forces players to find refuge in PvP.
The sum of PvE is, "burn or bump" you can't bump them, you burn them, you can't burn them, you bump them.
Thank you.
I'm always so confused by people who talk about how they level solo, barely speak to anyone and only group out of necessity, complaining about how an MMORPG isn't 'fun'. You want something fun to do by yourself? Go play a single player RPG. The whole point of MMORPGs is the online, social experience. Go RP, join a guild, make friends that run content with you. Learn how to use the Foundry and come up with your own quests or just use it to make yourself a house for your character.
I've levelled up three characters to 60, and like 95% of my time on NW is spent RPing, socializing, and messing around with the Foundry, not running content. Guess what? I'm having fun. If you've experienced everything the game has to offer and are still not having fun, maybe it's just not the game for you.
I don't get at which point of running dungeon or skirmish I should socialize with other people, i.e. mostly no coordination is needed and everyone is just rushing to that chest in the end of dungeon. I think it is unlikely if I suddenly stop and start discussing weather anyone will add me as friend. Besides, when people get KOed in combat and they press shift+1 and then "Hilfe!" or "A l'aide!" message appears, I'm not sure they even understand english.
There are still plenty of chances to chat too; if you never had to discuss boss strategies, then I'd be doubtful that you ran all the dungeons successfully. And even if you don't want to chat during a run, what about adding people to your friends list after? And there's still that whole Guild thing too.
all of ^ this.
and threads like this one tend to bring out the usual crowds trashing a game that just went live less than six months ago. yes, yes... everyone's allowed to their opinion. but when you've read the same disgruntled complaints from the same people, after a while you start to wonder why they don't move on to something "more fun". i've heard that these people are hanging on hoping it gets better but there's a major difference between someone that is in full support of the game and people that trash it every chance they get.
nobody knows what will hold your interest except you. if this isn't it, it's not that hard to figure out what to do next.
Also the foundry is probably the most important part fo the game for me, to be able to create the quests and places I've always dreamed of is my favorite thing to do.
As others said, don't passively expect the game to entertain you without even trying, you have to find what entertains you, and if the sociabilization part is not for you then maybe you should try better luck with a single player game.
Considering that there is only one server now, there are fundamental problems with the game, and most players moved on already
I don't see why anyone should be "in full support" of this game because of the only fact that it relies on gambling schemes to maximize revenue profiting from shortcoming of laws covering this area.
thanks for illustrating my point.
No one can make another like something.. if you are not having fun then go to a different game. No one can talk you into liking something or not. Just man-up and say this isn't for me and go on your way. Nothing we can say that going to change how you enjoy a game or not.
If none of the above is fun, then chances are, you won't find the game fun at all. Just my $.02
