End-game competitive reason to play?

[Ninepaces]

I'm looking for motivation to log in and play but besides racing for RR ranks forever (which in itself is impossible to win if you have a busy life) it feels like there is nothing to do once you hit a certain point with your characters. Is there something in the works to help end game pvp? Maybe a scenario mmr ladder or something along those lines? Its important to have goals. Quite frankly if all the goals are pve based like acquiring gear from running dungeons than I may as well play one of the many other pve mmo games out there.

Thanks,

It's a grind progression game.

You grind rvr/pvp gear. You grind pve gear. You grind rr levels.

They just added new gear (vanq/oppressor/sentinel) to grind and a new dungeon. Things are pretty good atm goal wise. Maybe in 6-12 months after you've gotten all the new gear you'll be bored. I don't think the game is changing from a grind progression game. Best of luck and play a toon you enjoy.

Its actually a rvr game first and foremost. The gear is a means to an end, not the end itself. Hence my original question. Grinding for gear is not a goal.

Yes, there is something in the works.

is fighting against AAO not competitive?
or managing K/D raito is only competition?

Endgame is having a maxed character. With your maxed character you will try to bathe in n00bz' tears and wear the grudge of your enemies like a crown.
Then you will park your toon until next update and raise another through the same ordeal you just went through.

It's like having a girlfriend.

What was the reason to play in DAoC too? Enjoy de essence of pve, of killing others just for the joy of it, yeah you get armor/abilities along the way to make it easier. Make a name, make everybody fear you!
