@massivelyop hahaha, I've been playing #LOTRO 8 years and my main character is still over 25 levels and a good number of regions from 'endgame'. I don't think it that "should" is the right question. Endgame shouldn't be the only outcome worth reaching. Some want that (they like the big level numbers and shiniest gear) but there's more to an MMO than 'getting there'.
I struggle a bit in #FFXIV on my main character for content now, but I just play other characters, so it's fine.
@massivelyop I don't like the "endgame" concept because what's endgame? level cap? raiding? at which tier? Are dailies endgame?
Plus, I like MMORPGs that are about the journey (#LOTRO, #TSW)
That said, I liked the #GW2 approach that let you experience some of the "endgame" content (mostly the PvP/WvW experience) while still lower level (I did most of my levelling there...)
@massivelyop it depends, cos I've played games where I've gone from zero to endgame ready in like 3 days, and other games where it takes 8 to 16 months to scratch endgame.
I feel like if it's going to be more like a modern western mmo, I shouldn't take more than two weeks to be endgame ready. Older eastern mmos on the other hand? Preferably 5 months, but it really depends on what catchup mechanics you have in place.
