A bored gamer's plea.
The knowledge that this expectation is unrealistic does not, unfortunately, make it any less boring.
It should, however, lead you to conclude that the problem and solution are both on your end of the equation, not arenanet’s.
take a break, come back in a few months.

Truth, but I really wanted to avoid making a “and thanks for all the fish” post.

Why make that kind of post? If you’re bored, simply take a break, or quit the game. When you feel like playing again, play again. If the feeling doesn’t come back, well, I hope you felt you got your money’s worth out of the game :p
You have some good ideas about things to add longevity without creating a gear grind, and they are definitely things I’d like to see. Unfortunately, I think they are also rather involved and not a quick, or easy fix. Hopefully this is something that the dev team is already at work on.
In the meantime have you tried Fractals? Some of the fractal skins are amazing. What about the new guild missions, have you done all of those? Ever gone on a Temple circuit in the Cursed Shore and gotten every single temple open for your server at the same time — that’s one of my current goals. Do you have any guildmates that are working toward the Dungeon Master title? Dungeons are good fun if you don’t just run the same path into the ground over and over again. There is actually quite a bit to do at 80th beyond WvW, but jumping back into WvW a couple of times a week is fun, too.
If you decide to take a break there’s sure no harm done since there isn’t a subscription fee or steep gear progression, but hanging out and playing with your friends is a much nicer option.

I actually like the fact that Kadin didn’t start to complain about the lack of endgame options or gear progression. Thumbs up.
I love your ideas. I think there should be customizable mounts and houses! That sounds AWESOME!!!!
They keep adding weapon skins to the game…how about ARMOR skins?
Where is the armor coated in ice to counter the armor that is on fire? How about heavier looking light armor? Medium armor that isn’t a bloody coat? Heavy armor that looks lighter without it being just more skin showing?
Heck the “Dark” armor set (kharma vendors all over Orr sell it) has 2 problems they still haven’t fixed; the legs are painted on rather than looking like proper plated armor on the thighs, and the helmet makes any dye on it appear lighter than the rest of the armor on women.
Another large problem with heavy boots is you can see the ankles between the shin guard and the boots on much of the heavy armor sets. This is rediculous! Bloody add in a sock or something covoring it up for every boot!
