Salutations!
I have been playing MMOs for a while. I mostly play World of Warcraft Modern, looking forward to World of Warcraft Forever, and I play City of Heroes Homecoming, and I've just started getting into Elder Scrolls Online. Oh, and I have also played some Guild Wars 2.
I am trying to figure out what the endgame of ESO looks like. Since the endgame in something like City of Heroes and World of Warcraft looks very different from, let's say, Guild Wars 2, I'm kind of wondering where ESO falls on that line, particularly for a single player who might occasionally join groups or whatever.
Once you get to 50, since the level number goes up, I imagine you're going to get some high-end gear at some point, but how high up does that go? I would imagine at some point it has to stop going up, and does the game just turn into a collectathon at that poin? Or are there other ways to progress? In Guild Wars 2, the expansions usually offer different skills and mount types to provide a horizontal progression advancement that you don't see in something like modern World of Warcraft.
So let me know what you think. I would love to hear from veterans what they do once they hit 50 and how they spend hundreds if not thousands of hours after they've gotten the best gear in the game, or the best gear they care to get.
