Every time I log back into the game, i feel like what is the point?

I always want a milestone to work towards. I got to 80, got the gear i needed, refined it in fractals or whichever was the current meta. and repeated it 8 times while getting world 100% on the class I enjoyed most. Enjoyed sPVP, dungeons, jumping puzzles, and guild events the most.

The combat is engaging at first, but it feels like you are forced to use the least enjoyable weapon variation and builds, and then it begins to feel like a bit of an afterthought.

You will notice in your pursuits of fame and riches, getting the best obtainable anything took a good amount of brainless chores, if unlucky it would be combat (boss grinds, etc).

Imagine having to fight this boss with little to no threat to you, for 15-20 minutes to get materials. Repeat 200x. Yes this would be fun, but once you have done it so many times, when it comes to getting to the more favorable/enjoyable combat (raids, structured), you feel burned out, especially in your characters rotation and the monotony eventually makes it where you don't pay any attention to the game while playing and are watching something, reading something on another screen. (this probably was a bad example, oh well)

No, I really do not know how they could fix it, or make it better, I am dumb kid who plays way too much video games. I couldn't help always thinking during the grinds, when is it going to get interesting or cool?

In WoW at least, you always looked forward to this awe inspiring, well designed labyrinth that hosts legendary creatures and that no one can do alone, not even 2, 3, 4 or 5 can do it.

Ulduar, Naxxramas, Karazhan, Onyxia, Icecrown Citadel, Molten Core, Firelands

You have to create this whole community within the game called guilds, where you will gain numerous friendships and most importantly, the most fun you will ever have (at home at least). There were new websites made (tank spot, wowhead), youtube careers (nyhm, asmon, swifty) etc all because people are so interested and invested in the late game.

If WoW had the same end game as GW2, it would never have made it past Burning Crusade

In Guild Wars 2, yes you have the guilds and stuff but nothing to really drive each other to conquer a task together, maybe the silly guild events (where are really fun, but that's once a week)

Yes i do know that they have raids, and structured dungeons, etc. They simply do not compare and are designed to make players feel fine if they are unable to do them.
