Actually, if you are bored I would also recommend just leveling up alts at this point. I bought both the Guardian and Hero Founders Packs (long story) and for the amount of money spent I'll be damned if I'm not going to get the most out of the game that I can. Sure endgame content is fun, but alts and the Foundry are what…
They need to fix the match making system. They also need to implement a "vote to kick" option since allowing the party lead to boot without say from anyone else is insane.
Being someone who played Rift since its first closed beta and just quit recently I can tell you that no, people won't leave NW in droves for Rift, not unless they are looking for bland combat and WoW inspired quests. Plus in the Rift cash shop you are going to be able to flat out purchase gear and then as new raid tiers…
Most of the other big MMOs these days have them, and it would be really nice considering some of us have made a major financial commitment to the game (Founder's Pack & Zen) to have some security to our account in addition to the account armor.
