i am playing your game from its release … you know you start to play all looks so fun and new every MMO you want to hit the max lvl and start costumazing your character and learning more and more well for me as at all games it was very enjoyable to lvl up to 80.
you know when i lvled i was expecting alot more at the “END GAME” so…..
i got to 80 easly with alot of fun but what then, got my full exotics got my ascended rings and all the etc got the skins that i earned alot of golds for them played some PVE and wvw but well what now??? nothing to waste time on maybe on my guild becouse i am the guild leader so i am still here ..
but well arenanet and Ncsoft like come on you know MMO game doesn’t looks like that that you dont have anything anything! to do at the end game. where are : all the action the wvw its 3 same maps even wvw doesn’t rewards you or your server some simple buffs for extra gathering extra hp T_T i can live without it.No duels . No variaty at the gear . No Mounts . the fell that you are progressing somewhere after the skins and gear that you got you just dont fell it . the game doesn’t feels right i am sure for me and for alot more players .
i know alot by my self alot of players that left the game becouse of this no where to progress you just dont fell right , stop adding your “living story” More “events”= "more fun " no one needs it or wants it if you dont have anything special in your game to waste time on add stuff that players need : Duels , make ranked Duels or stuff that ppl can gear variaty of skill lvl for pvp and PVE make the duels available in the Open World , add mounts , if you want your Open world to be alot more useful remove waypoints and add mounts maybe leave around 2 wps or 4 at each map add mounts or just make portal like were in wow that made the open world there alot more fun , the wvw change the maps and the reward make special gear that you can get from wvw that you can use in PVE also maybe same stats but other look , about the duel ppl wont get bored they will want to skill up or test skill with other players or just rank up and their duels make some kind of arenas that benefits you in the open world also with its gear not speaking about Spvp that you are lvling glory lvl that doesn’t effects you in real world , no one wants to play something that doesn’t rewards you, when i farmed all my golds for my gear and skin that was my goal but then you have nothing next to come i just find myself doing maybe some fractals a day , add player housing make the game with more options , then think about your “living story” and “events” i am sure if you continue like that the game will die as soon as players will find better game like wow.
so for now just add : duels in the open world , some mounts , more gear options or skins, and player housing and guild hells… maybe it sounds to much work for you but i am sure you could use the whole time that you were using to create your “living story” to make it possible .
this will keep some players at your game then think about lore and your “living story”
The Game died?
You want vanity items to keep you occupied? Try learning punctuation instead of writing one long sentence separated by commas. That will keep you busy
If you want vanity items to keep you occupied there is legendary awaiting have fun.

That was really hard to decipher, you need to work on your writing.
If I sum your post up correctly you want more goals beyond the “get 80, get max stats, get the look of your choice (including a legendary or not, its a style question)”.
I agree with that notion. I like the living story and dont think it is a waste of time, but the game also needs more persistant additions. Especially additions that people can spend alot of time on if they desire. Personally I actually do have a legendary in mind, but since I play casually that#s a very longterm goal. The game is lacking in middle ground goals. Specific armor and weapons and exotic stats you get really fast once you hit 80 (often TP/crafting for the stats), and then theres a while to pick out your desired skins, and after that … make money. That’s all afterwards, making money. It might be for the legendary or for buying things from the gem store, or whatever else, but “making money” as the only goal is not good in the long run.
The game needs more things you dont buy but play for. More skins and special looks, , more mini pets, housing/home instance improvements (which opens up a whole new level of rewards and items that is entirely cosmetic), new skills for PVE-only and PVP-only (they slowly start on this with wvw levels), strictly-cosmetic mounts (no runspeed or swiftness level at most). There are so many ways they can go to add more goals for people that want them without adding a new tier of stats, but I see no intentions in that direction from Anet.
Living story so far seems to be a monthly installment of some do-it-once-in-an-hour tasks (fun but short), some gem store items and some rare drops in the area the living story takes place. In the case of Southsun it also adds some events to the previously barren island, in the case of F&F it didnt really add anything. So far what was provided is not living up to the expectations they raised. I’m withholding my own conclusion until we pass the 1 year anniversary but as of now the situation is very underwhelming.
So you’re saying that they should remove waypoints and add mounts, because that would waste players’ time, which is what you consider end game content? I’m sorry, but that makes no sense to me. I strongly prefer that they keep adding fun and interesting content rather than steal the worst aspects of other MMOs (wasting time and grinding).
