Ok, I have said things in other threads but I would REALLY like a comment on if some sort of content is being considered for those people who hit max level and get good gear.
At this point "getting the best gear" is the end game, and thats not very hard to do. So what is one to do once they hit 50 and get gear? PvP is a bit "one hit killish" and farming drops for gold means nothing because I already have all that I need. So, as any successful MMORPG has, can we have some sort of ongoing permanent advancement system?
Their are MANY way to do this...upgradable armor/weapons, giving + stats each XXXX amount of kills, hard repeatable quests that give stats, an advance achievement skill table to spend skill points on where you must unlock skills by doing certain things so we can spread our skill points out more.
At this point the only ways I can see to continue character advancement in this game is through stats or armor/weapon customization. Everyone already has almost every ability maxed out, so more skill points is useless. Their are some very easy ways(coding wise) to implement an ongoing system to make your character stronger, and some better ideas that would take some time to implement. One way or the other, this should only have to be done ONE time.
I know their are other threads that said that the devs only care about new players, but even if this is true, making 1 patch devoted to making the game continue to be fun and keeping level 50(or whatever the max level is at the time) playing the game in an investment too because the more max level characters you have when a new expansion comes out, the more money you make for people BUYING that expansion.
Most of these systems can be implemented without need to update each time the game changes. Just make something simple. I just need ONE reason to play. Right now I don't have one. Killing monsters just for the sake of killing monsters isnt enough. If I was trying to reach the next 1000 kill mark to get another +2 or +3 stat points, then I would be in there RIGHT now. Or if I was doing XXX to get a new ability to put points into(causing people to eventually purchase repspecs etc) then I would be playing. If I could make my character better by upgrading armor/weapons I would be playing right now but as it is their not a REASON to play.. theirs no goal. Its like.. why do extra credit if your already getting a 100% in the class.. you cant get higher than an A+.
Something.... ANYTHING..
