Questions from an old player
Well, that’s a tall order since there have been content additions every month…..
Off the top of my head they added:
Guild Missions
Fractals (dungeon which scales in difficulty to infinity)
A new zone
Living Story
Leaderboards
WvW ranks
Dungeon revamps
More jumping puzzles
Ascended gear
A couple PvP maps including CTF
Skritt burglar events
Upgraded loot from world drops & meta events
Flexible daily & monthly achievements
Tons of polish to existing content
You can take a look at the patch notes to see what I missed or more detail on what changed.

Is endgame still only pvp and dungeon grinding?
If that’s how you viewed the game, then no amount of new content will make it more fun than it was when you quit.

I can’t see the future at this time because I saw many worlds without people. Ranking in the WvW not help improve equality for the world that is running low on troops. They also fix dungeons more difficult for accommodate new players. These made ??me realize that nobody cares about the balance!
