== Content ==
			
First off, let me just say that this is not really any super whine thread or such. I really like Wildstar, it has done some superbly astounding stuff for an MMO. However, I am getting much less and less reasons to long in, and when I do log in I have very little to do. So I wonder if anyone has any tips or such towards getting into stuff again?Stuff that especially avoids much lore-heavy content would be appreciated. I just find the lore in the game to be REALLY bad, as in, "I want to dip my eyes in acid and bleach my brain" bad.My house is also already completely done, or well, I hit the decor limit extremely fast, so I can't do anything more with it.I was screwed over by my last guild also, and as much as I really enjoy doing dungeons and raids, the former part is not something I want to go through again.Get involved with the community? Well I guess it is passable on my current server. But I fear once the megaservers come up, I will have to bump into a lot of people from Evindra i'd rather not even be on the same server on, so that is a bit of a problem too. 
And hmm... not much more I can think of, but yeah. I could use some assistance with coming up with things to do, help would be appreciated.

PvP,
Hoverboard collecting,
doing drugs with lopps,
Roleplaying with the Evindra crew,
making and opening a bar,
roll on a PvP server and hunt down aurins/chua (depending on your taste)	
----
			
Dailys in crimson, northern, blight, malgrave... dungeon farming? crafting farming? farming gold? uhhhh pvp, and if you RP the rp group will be on the mega server and im sure itll be bigger than ever you can even make a rp chat and such..
 
this game is growing daily and is only getting better dont give up man its going to be bad ass in due time	
----
			
This game is pretty boring, I've done everything I mean like everything apart from Datascape and the content is just stale at the moment.
 
I have enough CREDD and plat to last for the next 5-6 years but I doubt I will ever get to experience the full potential of this IP before it dies off.

			Being an rp'er in Evindra, I have to ask, do you just not rp or does the rp community there rub you the wrong way?

You could always try:
 
-PUGing Dungeons and Adventures, see if you meet up with some new friends that way.
-Form your own guild.
-Re-rearranging your housing plot.
-Farming Décor.
-Getting Attuned (if you haven't already).
-Roll an Alt (something completely different from your Main).
-Achievement Hunting.
-Max out your crafting professions.

Well, please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but this is what it seems like to me.
 
You're playing a massive multiplayer game, and you're playing it by yourself. You don't want to pug, you don't want to join a guild, you claim you are bad a pvp, and you don't want to rp. Aside from raiding, those are all of the major strengths of the mmo genre. And raids (particularly in Wildstar) usually require a guild or at least a dedicated raid group.
 
Do you have any friends who play this game? If not, then honestly its sounds like you may need to find a new hobby. Usually for me, and for a lot of people I know, its the idea of doing lots of stuff with friends and other people that is the main attraction to the mmo genre. Generally mmo's aren't really designed to be solo games (part of the reason the lore is meh at times).
 
I mean, in my opinion you should never force yourself to do something, and particularly not pay for it, if you're not enjoying it. 	
----
			I'm a mostly solo player and I've been amusing myself mapping the other faction's home continent and hunting rare mobs for the "I like it rare" achievement :).	
----
			Fair enough Nike, though that's no guarantee the op would enjoy what you enjoy.

Well, you probably are right with most of what you say. Aside from just regular guild stuff in the past, I mostly just spent my time in housing or grinding materials for crafting. But not having a guild to craft for makes the grind part a bit pointless.
 
As for friends...I did make some. But the only one that stayed in the game, is focused on just guild stuff.
 
But yeah, most of the time now it does feel like forcing myself. Just staying on and keeping the account up so I do not miss all those "Limited, only given out during certain periods" rewards. So yeah, sad as it might be, if I don't find much else to do, besides maybe some of the stuff the other guys said, I might just have to kick off this MMO too. (And with this, I will go sleep, will read any new messages tomorrow)

Guys, OP is not looking for you to name stuff for him to do, he's looking for positive reinforcement in his whine.
 
Dude seriously, there has been many suggestions, if none of them appeals to you then yes, time to quit.
 
Contribution: man up and dip into PvP with an alt.	
----
			I highly recommend rolling a different alt. Among the more enjoyable things I've done recently (besides more min-maxing gear). My main being a warrior, then suddenly playing an esper was a fun experience.	
----
			In the next patch which is less than a month away, you will have 1000 outdoor limit. So you can start planning for the extensions on you plot like i am :)You will get more lighting, and indoor limit too.Also there will be more content coming to do in the next patch, but in the mean time have you gotten your amp and ability points?The devs are also making alot of changes over the next 6 months to improve the incentive to make alts. So you might want to consider making another alt, which also means another house to decorate :)	
----
			Personally, I thoroughly enjoy the lore and the story. To each their own I suppose.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Mildly both. But mostly just some specific people. Though since the forums have this name and shame thing (if I recall correctly) I will not be naming them.

I think they should remove level cap. Remove level restricted gear.
 
Add ships to the game...
 
This game still has A LOT it can do.
 
 
I know why you are bored and why I quit the first time around... It's because there is a Dead end feeling.
 
They should have no level cap. After 50 you keep gaining stats. Forever.	
----
			
Well, I'm trying to build up the <Blazing Saddles>, so if you want, you can always drop in with us.  I'm not a content guy (in fact, I'm looking for content officers who would be the content guys/girls, and I won't step on their toes).  As for me, I'm an RP guy, and I'm building a flying battleship fortress thing for us to use as an RP hangout.  I may need the higher content limit to finish, though...
 
 
Other things I can recommend on the Evindra Exile front (if you're there):
 
-We have a player channel for Veritas, BDS, and ourselves that we use to combine for content runs.  Thanks Norah for hosting it!
-I'm planning on running the group nursery quests ending in Ely sometime this week, so if those are still on your docket, let me know.
-I also try to take a day to help ALL the guild members clear group quests, so if you've got those, get in touch and I'll help you out!
-Throw together or join a World Boss or World Content circle.  Clear all the rares and world content.
 
Also, if you're only on Dominion Evindra:
 
-Get in touch with Typrop of the <Skullkickers>, since that guild has the pulse over there
-Make an Exile alt!
 
Hopefully, I'm not on your list of people to hate.

			Yes they are increasing your total decor limit to 2000, and your limit indoors will be 1000 (up from 800), and outdoors will be 1000 (up from 300). They are also implementing ways to change the music in your house, and the ground (so you can have it be snowy or i think desert?).

Hey Tairos, I am really sorry to hear that you feel this way.  I'm not sure what happened, but I don't think you should hold it against the entire community.  Sometimes personalities simply don't get along.
 
In my experience the vast majority of people on Evindra are great fun.  Sure, some of them I can only handle in small doses, but together they all help make it a living, breathing world that's fun to spend time in.  The ones that I really can't stand?  They just end up on my ignore list, and I move on.
 
I don't know what you really want out of the game specifically, but it sounds like the best thing for you would be to find a guild that does things "the right way" for you.  That can be hard to find, but not impossible.  Don't lose heart.  The server merge should be coming up in a week or two, hopefully, and there will suddenly be a lot more guilds out there to choose from.  Maybe you'll be able to find one that's the right fit.  It sounds like you still want to play Wildstar, and the only thing holding you back is just that you haven't found the right group of players yet.
 
For my part, if you're still having trouble after the merge, and you're playing on the Entity, feel free to get in touch, and I'll do my best to help point you at guilds that might be a good fit for you.  I know many other folks in this community would be willing to do the same as well.

Ah, another big post here! Lessee...Blazing Saddles would be on Exiles aye? If so, I am afraid that already would be a bit of a problem. Took me literally months to get my main character to 50, not sure I am up for the time it'd take to level up a new guy on the other faction.
As for the Skullkickers...from the name alone I would assume it would not be a guild for me. Sounds a bit like a typical PvP guild, or one o' them hardcore raid guilds.

			Drink one beer at a time and measure the degradation of your skills.  To keep everything equal find a good, isolated farming area and grind the mobs there measuring your efforts in kills / hour.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Unless something has changed lately, they're not a PVP centric guild.   :lol:   But, since I'm not on Dominion-side much since taking over the Saddles, I'd pop a message at Typrop.  Ty's a lot more up to date on the server and the guild than I am.  IIRC, though, it's a social RP/PVE guild.

Feels like a really odd name for an RP/PVE guild, but once the servers are merged I might give him a whisper or such. (Not on Evindra currently, I have had some alts, but due to the people mentioned before, I find the best thing is to completely avoid the server to not have to bump into them)
----
			As a thought, you seem to like housing a lot. Have you showed off any of your plot or designs and ideas before? I know that there are a lot of people who like getting sort of "career" architects to make houses for them, maybe that would be something you might enjoy. If people like your style and ideas, you could offer to help them build their houses/ships/bars/torture facilities etc.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Maybe it is.  Then again, I took over the Blazing Saddles, I didn't make it.  Which has made guild recruitment an issue, since I get to touch off a Mel Brooks tribute act every time I try to recruit.  >.<

The original Blazing Saddles and Skull Kicker guilds were created by people who were interested in pvp or PvX-RP. In the few months the game has been live the guilds went more pve and more recently both guilds lost there first guild leaders due to dissatisfaction with the game. VicVanMeter now runs Blazing Saddles and Typrop runs The Skull Kickers. Exile or Dominion, either are good groups of people.
 
As to your OP....my answer is to find new friends. Or, maybe better friends as you seem to have had a falling out. Friends can be a guild or a circle or neither. Either way I would look at what it is you want from the people you hang out with while playing. Then when you bump into it you'll have a good idea up front that it's right.

{| class="blockquote"
In the interest of fairness, we didn't lose our original GM to dissatisfaction with the game per se.  Tex was angry about Megaservers, but was set to ride it out with us.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Nothing to do with fairness. But, I think your calling my tomato a tomahto.
 
Ether way Tairos there are good people out there and with the mega servers going live this week you should have an increased chance of finding those who play they way you like to.
----
			
I would just quit no point in playing a game you don't enjoy 
 
{| class="blockquote"
Being an rp'er in Evindra, I have to ask, do you just not rp or does the rp community there rub you the wrong way?
