I wonder. Everyday I get less and less motivated to login on a non raid day. Got the gear I need for DS, but we still can't beat the roster boss. So what do people do?
 
I am:
 
DS attuned
2231 arena rated
Reputation capped
Got 150 + plat
4/5 eldan Gaunets x2
 
When I login i do:
 
Visit my neighbours for easy thicket mats.
Cap EG
 
Love WS but it needs more content, yesterday. I know drop 3 has a new zone but that will only last 30(32) days before we are capped there too..
 
I guess some daily quests with some rewards could satisfy me and make me run more adventures/dungeons and help the queue time.

To answer the question in your title, here is what I do :)
 
1) Craft stuff for people and even for the AH.
2) Drop by RP events and have some fun that way
3) Go out in the world and help new players and guildies with things they need.
4) Go out and try to find those last few lore journals and things I haven't found yet.
5) Play some of my alts up
6) Do normal mode dungeon runs with my guildies who are leveling up
7) Go on adventure runs just for fun.
8) Stare at my housing plot and wait for inspiration to strike.
 
This is just me - I'm sure other people have more stuff.  Hope it helps you out!	
----
			my day:- help new players- recruit- do dailies - run both normal and vet dungeons with new players and teach them how- run both normal and vet adventures with new players and teach them how- level my alt engi :>	
----
			Level alts, work on crafting, spend all my plat on said alts and crafting...	
----
			
1) Cap EP after each Tuesday
2) Farm trees from my 95 thicket neighbors for more money for more easy CREDD
3) See if guildies want to run anything
4) Raid
5) Wait for next raid, log off, and go play a one player game on steam
 
 
Rinse and repeat	
----
			I dont even raid. All I do is PvP :D Practice Battlegrounds on all my alts and my main during prime time. I quest while I'm in que for PvP on my alts.	
----
			
Harvest mining nodes
Hawk the auction house for good deals
Housing related things (this takes up the majority of my play time)
Renown farming vet adventures
And recently I've been working through the attunement
 
I really want to raid and run veteran dungeons, but I'm not willing to invest more than 8 hours a week in scheduled gameplay. Hard to find. :(	
----
			
Personally, I enjoy collecting lore books, Tales keys, and data cubes that I missed while leveling.
 
I love me some lore. :P
 
 
Aside from that, I do dailies and collect cosmetic stuff (dyes and armor pieces). :D

-Farming mount flairs
-Doing house challenges
-Housing
-gold runs with the guild
-Some more mount flair farming
-PVP
 
Im totally addicted to mount flairs....	
----
			
I play Trove when I have nobody to help and nothing to cap
nor any project to do (like housing or farming).
It is relaxing and a nice change of pace.	
----
			
I don't raid, what I do isBattlegrounds
Arenas
Ganking people in the daily zones
Level up alts
dungeons/adventure runs
daily grind
hoverboarding like a pro	
----
			
Farming mount flair atm. Up at 40000 Pell kills by now with no Rear pell flair in sight.
 
Me and RNG aren't best buddies you see. 	
----
			
Well I don't raid, so...
 
80% of time - roleplaying
15% of time - messing with housing
3% of time - leveling my main
1% of time - leveling alts
1% of time - leveling professions
 
:D

All of the above plus the following:
Challenges
Challenges
More Challenges
Even more challenges
 
I am hopelessly addicted to challenges.	
----
			
I log in, ask what people want to do.  If there's something going on, I go do that.
 
If there's not, I go do something else.
 
I have too much to do...	
----
			I don't understand this need to justify a log in every day.  I do it out of a compulsive need to get my data fragment and boom box, but if I don't have a raid, don't need elder gems, and no one snags me for a dungeon group then I have no problem logging off and doing other stuff.	
----
			
Got My Armorsmithing and Weaponsmithing to Tier 7, next i'll focus on Cooking and Outfitting.
 
If my plat's been used up, Farm Phagelabs or other spots and complete the dailies and challenges.
 
I make it a point to try to reach Elder Gem Cap before Saturday and I always log in to do the Daily Eldan Data Fragment Quest.
 
If I feel like it, I go do NRBGs and grind some prestige.
 
 
While doing all these and more I sometimes take a break, play some Dota 2, PoE or watch Anime.	
----
			
Hmmm,
 
Chua do random roleplay, planned roleplay, crafting dailies, crafting, run dungeons, maintain guild, advertise guild and circles, chat to Humans.....
 
*thinks*
 
Oh yeah, Chua also slowly collecting achievements and hunt rare mobs
Playing Auction House......
Costumes.....
 
That about it what Chua do.	
----
			
I log in for my guild.
They're great people and I love spending time with them.
We've really established a family community atmosphere since closed beta and I love it. :)	
----
			
Haven't had the chance to do much in Wildstar yet but plan to get a guild going so it'll be something like:
 
Go on TS server
Talk absolute rubbish to people and have a laugh
Do the tradeskill daily / cap EP's
If raiding go raid
If not Do Adventures / Dungeons that people need
If not play an alt or help guildies with whatever they may need help with

			Farm galactium on neighbor houses, dream of the rune slot changes incoming, run dungeons and help guildies attune.given your list it sounds like you are one of those players that just consume consume consume content, because most of these things i have completed as well, and i am one of those players. fortunately for me,my job makes it so i can not raid at a rate that i would if i were able to. meaning there is alot of raid content for me to look forward to, meaning there is a lot of min maxing of gear to be done(it is always ongoing), i understand you seeking more content because this game is fun as hell and content is our reason to play, but it seems you have done most of what it has to offer atm, its a new game and is still building up.maybe its time for a break? give wildstar a month or two and come back to see whats up. im not telling you to quit that game, but play something else in your free time, you do not have to log on every day anymore. take a vacation so that when you come back for drop 3 it will be all the much sweeter.

Get a bird.... :P
 
It sounds as though you play a lot..just don't play as much as you are.  To be rep capped, 150+ plat, 3 chars doing GA etc you must play a fair amount.	
----
			
If the roster boss is kicking your behind maybe you should work on that, i.e. recruiting, instead of coming here to complain that there is nothing to do since you can't get past the roster boss.
 
Just a thought...	
----
			
Non-raid activities: 
 
1) troll pergoLFM channel 
2) stand around in thayd 
3) pbgs 
4) I like running dungeons because I log them and try to work on getting better parses. It keeps me motivated and gives me goals. 	
----
			You could try PvPing and see how you stand compared to the rest of the PvP players at this point in the game.  	
----
			
So let me get this straight. You are high enough in pvp to not really need to do that for anything other than enjoyment. You have all your gear from raids and can't progress till your guild recruits more. You have no need to do anything else for gear or platinum. Options are:
 
Housing
Level Alts
Help Guildies with what they need
 
Which might I remind you, is the same options you have in nearly every other game of this type if you are at the point you are in the game. A lot of games don't even have the intense housing to keep ya busy. If it were me, I would go check out some other games. No one said you have to spend all your free time in 1 game.	
----
			
1.) Go outside and exercise.
2.) Socialize with friends.	
----
			
Well I go for walks along the beach, eating strawberries and cream and think that threes a crowd.
 
But in serious when logged in normally quue for PBG just Credd exchange, look at friends list and frett...

My day in Wildstar:
 
- Log in with my Warrior and smile when I see how badass I look.
 
- Feel guilty because I neglect my Esper and Stalker. Again.
 
- Chop a few enemies to tiny bits, and feel great about it. Esper and Stalker who?
 
- Feel guilty for neglecting my crafting again, until I remember I hate crafting.
 
- Set off on a mighty quest for epic... lore.
 
- Help out a few NPCs here and there (aka side-quests.)
 
- Sign up for an Adventure.
 
- Get surprised when a group has been found two hours later.
 
- Get disappointed when someone decline the group, and the search goes on.
 
- Try on every piece of armor I can get my hands on, to make my costume just a bit better.
 
- Stomp some grapes to kingdom come in my housing plot for yet another Beer-sign or another bottle of dye.
 
- Curse the long cooldown on the grape-stomping.
 
- Head off into Thayd, just to be amused at the German vs French vs English bickering in the Zone-chat.
 
- Considers responding to a guild invite in the chat, but... nah.
 
- Considers starting my own guild, but.... nah.
 
- Blows up rowsdower in Algoroc by herding them into a minefield, then activating the mines. And get a fluffy rowsdower plushy as a reward. For disarming mines, not blowing up rowsdower. That's just a bonus.
 
- Try to cook something.
 
- Try to put out the fire in my kitchen.
 
- Considers visiting a neighbor and do some cooking there.	
----
			
I just finished the Crimson Waste rep grind. I'm about 4 days away from Northern Wilderness completion. I have 2-3 I Like It Rare achievements left (Gnawer is taunting me in Algoroc - I can spot him on radar but he disappears as I approach). I have the entire planet mapped (including areas on the other factions' continent).
 
My gear is basically as good as it possibly gets without raiding. I'm mulling over whether to put out some feelers out for a new guild but the last one was deeply underwhelming so I'm not thrilled at the prospect. Beyond attunement I actually just want to do vet dungeons because I think they are fun (with a regular crew on voice) and I'd like to get some of the rarer dyes that are otherwise impossible for solo players to acquire (nothing open world drops the higher tier dye cases :().
 
I have 2 50s. I may rouse myself to level some of my alts beyond the mid 20s. I do want to see more of the Domie storyline but the prospect of doing it without a full compliment of crafters on that side its off putting. If I could mail stuff to my own characters in the other faction I'd be way more interested in playing right now.
 
I'll probably reduce my play considerably for a few weeks once Beyond Earth hits while I'm waiting for Drop 3 and the ability to polish my gear.	
----
			I don't even raid.  I do housing!	
----
			
I stay up so late just talking to people, socializing, and playing with housing that I fall asleep at my desk.
 
Now that's a compliment Carbine.

I don't really raid at all :) soooo my day usually consists of....
 
- My daily quests.for faction, elder gems, flairs and crafting components.
- Running around farming relic and farming nodes for my crafting.
- Making peelz errr Technologist crafting :P
- Working on my house and chatting in housing zone chat.
- Shiphand missions for fun.
- Looking to see if world bosses and events are up and people wanna do them.
- Running my housing expedition FABkits
- Adventures sometimes. I wanna do more of these but I read a few of them are being fixed soon for bugs, So I gonna wait till Drop 3 and do more of these.
 
That all said I also don't play every day, simply because I can't cos of work schedule and other games I play on the side alone and with friends. Sooo I get myself into a loop where I always have lots of fun things to do when i do settle in to play Wildstar ^o^	
----
			grind supplies for raiding =_=

As crazy as this sounds I got into these diversions:
 
1. Housing. I have been spending a few hours per day building my megatropolis space port. It's actually pretty bad azz, I have a 5 level space port that really is awesome. It's only about 3/4 complete but it's impressive. 
I never realized how in depth and complete that housing is in Wildstar. Definitely became more and more addictive the further into it that I got, and I am NOT the type of player that usually does housing stuff.
 
2. I started finishing off my path missions that I skipped from lower levels. If you cap out your path then you get an ability point for free. It's a good deal
 
The above and dailies which are repetitive and a bit boring are what I am doing to buy time until drop 3/4
