Submission + - MMORPG Endgame Content Is Dumb (ign.com)

Submitted by

spidweb writes: "IGN.com has an article about why endgame content in RPGs (like raids, grinding reputation, and other soul-killing timesinks) is a poor way to spend your leisure time. At best. From the article, "Think about it. It's called endgame content for a reason. End. Game. You are at the END of the GAME. Why are you still playing!?!?!?" The best option, if you must play a game like this, is to jump to a new one, where you have a chance of experiencing surprises, adventure, and fresh content before the fun turns into torture.
