Sooo, let me preface this by saying I am a casual player, without a casual skill-set.
 
50 Engineer, didn't really enjoy it endgame..
soo
50 Stalker, not too bad fun to play, terrible to pvp with, got my genesis key, working on attunements.. boring..
soo
19 Esper, broken, boring both pvp and pve..
soo
 
35 medic, fun to pvp with, not too bad to pve with, but after leveling 3 other chars, I am very bored of the linear leveling paths.
 
soo what now?
 
casual, so no time to raid, already made a kickass house on my engineer, however since housing items are not bind to account, I don't have the drive to buy/aquire all those elements again, for my other chars.
 
soo yea.. pvp is hella boring with only 2 BG's to play in (sabotage looks ok, but I dislike how they are encouraging TK'ing, last thing this game needs is more trolls)
could do dailies, but I am casual, and work fulltime, so just buy cred -> plat, no need to do dailies, I have full top tier crafted gear, so really the only reason to go into dungeons is to get silver or gold but since I pug most everything I do, gold/silver runs in anything other than crimelords is pretty ridiculous.
 
sooo.. what do I do? whats even the point of doing my genesis attunement if I don't plan on/dont have time to raid anyway?
 
I was super pumped about this game, played it all through beta, but now I find myself only logging in to check my boomboxes :(
 
sadface.

Hmmm.... are you here to complain? I don't get it. When I get bored with something I usually find something else to do. Coming to the forum asking what you should do next seems like you are baiting people.
 
Just unsubscribe. Divinity: Original Sin looks pretty cool. Maybe you could give that a go and come back to Wildstar at a later date?	
----
			
Perhaps you just need to find a casual guild to do runs with, There are quite a few of them out there that does not require you to be a hardcore player by any means, I am in one and they are a very nice group and its extremely easy to get gold in all adventures with a few competent people.
 
I haven't done dungeons because I am a "hardcore" pvper, I have a 1800+ warrior and a soon to be 1800 stalker (Shes currently sitting at 15xx). Stalkers are from underpowered or suck at pvp they are quite OP when played correctly.however if you are not doing arenas and only doing BGs  I can understand your claim to an extent, not fully, but to an extent based on BGs and Stalkers.
 
My suggestions, if you are bored of the game or feel limited, Find a 2s partner, or join a guild or circle and explore other avenues. If none of those are something you want to then perhaps as the above poster suggested find something else. No one can sell you on the game other than yourself. Set a goal and go for it, otherwise why play?	
----
			A main(I guess?) and 3 alts is casual? I'm not sure where you're going here but you can use the PTR to test 50s rather than leveling a bunch and complaining they don't fit you.	
----
			
Let me get this straight:
 
You have nothing to do because you don't want to play the content the game has.
 
Sounds like you're playing the wrong game.	
----
			
Maybe you have gotten what you will out of the game (at least at this point in time), sounds like you've spent over a hundred hours already.
 
MMO's tend to focus on raiding at end game as for their continued content after completion, so after the initial gear up the game is roughly able to be finished if you do not intend to raid, or at least limited.
 
As a non-raider myself, i would love to see other things implemented for end game that wasn't aimed towards raiding. Though i dont know what they could do, so im not complaining. WoW's solution was making raids more accessible, but thats not the target of this game and has its fair share of problems. 	
----
			
that's true Frenz.
 
it's slow time in my industry so I've had nothing but time lately, and yes easily spent over 100 hours on the game, I shudder when thinking about typing /played
 
I am definitely not looking for an "LFR" in wildstar, but at the same time, yea I guess your right, really the only thing to do endgame in most MMO's wildstar being no exception, is raiding.
 
thing is any game I play I find myself holding shift and trying to sprint, or trying to dash or double jump, lol.
 
as for Divinity; Original Sin.. turn based Diablo clone? ugh gross.	
----
			
i'll be honest... with the devs of this game being some of the vanilla devs i am kinda sad to see only 1 leveling path. Back in vanilla wow you could make 3 toons on EACH FACTION and level 1-60 and never do the same quest twice. It allowed you to make alts and see new content, i was not overly happy to see leveling on such restricted rails.
 
 
Wow is a decade old and it released with so many leveling paths, why is it 10 years later everything is so much more rigid.	
----
			Sounds like you need to try a different game if you did not like any of that.	
----
			
I think this just boils down to what Carbine decided to focus on. They decided the hardcore raiding aspect of vanilla wow and other mmos to be the high point of the genre. They have structured the game, in both pvp and pve, so that it is mandatory you find other players who also want to dedicate a considerable amount of time getting attuned, gearing up and building the perfect warplot. It is all well and good if you have the time and find the right group of people, but sadly if you do not then you are left out to dry.
 
I just think it would come as less of a blow if the game didn't tease players with housing (unusable furniture), paths (linear progression even for explorers), and an emphasis on Eldan lore throughout the trailers. It all makes it seem like you are creating a character to explore the world with and uncover mysteries, but you really are just pulled through copy and paste zones till you get to endgame raids/pvp. If you still love to play the game, I recommend finding a few friends who you can explore with and get into mischief. I don't know if you are on a pvp server or not, but it could be fun to get a team of 4-5 together and roam the countryside killing the opposite faction. 
 
Carbine didn't give you an option, make one yourself. You are not alone in this search for the RPG.	
----
			
I don't know if your on a PvP server or not, but hunting down Chua players is fun.
 
Also I believe there was a thread Vulpixy started trying to create a list of things you could do in WildStar if you were bored.
 
(Also it's not a bad idea to play other games, if I get tired of WildStar I just jump on Smite or DayZ).	
----
			
My guild and I are pretty burnt out. I'm going to cancel my sub until a content drop that's relevant to me rolls around.
 
My one goal was to save up for a luminous equivar, and now that I've gotten it, that's kind of it...	
----
			
Find a guild with similar interests to you. I always find that levelling is always more enjoyable with a friend.
 
Also, a guild will help you get successful dungeon runs, and get those silvers/golds :)
 
You can also find people who might play other games with you, to take a break from wildstar. I always mix it up, do a bit of diablo for a while, new ep of walking dead season 2, bit of shooty shoot on tf2 then back to wildstar.
 
I cannot stress to find a guild with similar interests anymore than I have. Having a decent group of people to enjoy the game with completely makes it :)
 
Try levelling tradeskills, they are really immersive and quite fun. And if you're buying credd to turn into plat they'll be pretty easy to level, can also go around the world collecting all the patterns and such (also make a bomb with crafted gear :D)
 
I'm sad you found esper boring and broken, not to everyone's taste. But if you were dpsing I can imagine it being a pain. Try giving a melee or healing build a go (there are some great guides on the esper class forum)

I agree-- more paths would be a big, big boon to making alts. In Wildstar's case, looking at the map, I have to wonder if it had something to do with development timelines. There are a ton of blacked-out areas that are bound to be filled in over time, and they can't *all* be end-game stuff. I'm with you on the leveling paths, though-- I think there should be at least four distinct routes through the PvE leveling process.

			I became bored, so now I'm back to playing Warframe until stuff gets fixed. If you guys ever played Warframe, update 14 is awesome, come check it out.

Elaborate.
 
I have a level 50 Esper, how are we broken?
 
I have no problems with it at all.
----
	
----
			So you're casual, have no time to raid, but have 2 lvl 50s and 2 other chars... If you are casual, what am I? I have one char, dinged 50 after one month. I have a job, I usually begin playing around 8 PM. So I joined a guild who are working people and have a similar timetable. I joined two days ago, and yesterday evening I did 3 vet dungeons from the 4 for the attunement with them, will do the 4th today hopefully and then join them to run everyone through the dungeons. The attunement is not really that hard, if you're a casual by timetable but "hardcore" by playstyle. This is an MMORPG, you will enjoy it to the fullest with other people. I'm not even really a social guy, but I thought this is MMO 101. And to the poster who said "if there is no such guild on your server", in that case you can play on another server. Doesn't matter if you have to start over, it's 2 months into the game, so you still have time. It will take 1-2 evenings to get you trough the 4 (four!) vet dungeons when you ding, you should really play with people who are good guys enough to do that. But if you rather continue torturing yourself over not finding a guild, be my guest.

Switch it up with other games, I love Wildstar but I still get bored at times, so currently I've been revisiting AoE2 and doing the challenge missions in Red Alert 3 Uprising, and trying SimCity out again now they have removed online only. Sometimes play the Heroes of the Storm alpha too.
 
You get burnt out and bored very very quickly if you play the same game constantly, I don't even know where the whole married to a single mmo thing started, YOU MUST PLAY ONLY ONE OR YOU ARE A TRAITOR!!
 
Though in-game there is a million things to do or collect or earn or what have you.
 
Funny the thing about Espers, that was the first char I made, and I abandoned it at 20 because I could see where it was going, now I've re-levelling it after seeing the PTR changes :)	
----
			How are Espers broken? Mine's at level 25 and doing just fine so far.	
----
			
Sorry, but I don't think you're very 'casual'.
 
Less than 2 months since the game went live and you already have two 50s with a lot of content done on at least one of them (housing, etc.). What's the rush?
 
Seems to me like you just burned through the content to rush to 50 and are now bored. I am yet to 50 even one character (47 on main, 20 on alt because leveling it with a friend), and I'm taking my time enjoying the content throughout leveling. This way I know (I hope) that by the time I'm 50 and and ready for end game content, there will be new stuff released along with bug fixes.

Because the "hardcorez" do not need more than one levelling path! 
 
To be serious, though, I can think for a couple of reasons for the lack of those. The first one is the omnipresent "there's no time for that!" factor. Designing whole new areas and balance them so they aren't significantly better than other zones is quite time consuming. If Carbine had an alternative zone for Whitevale, for instance, they'd have to make sure that the levelling experience isn't much faster. 
 
The second reasons is that "harcore" players don't care about alternate levelling paths. Just like I joked about earlier. They want efficiency, so they are probably super happy that they don't have to play both levelling paths to find out which one is more efficient. Since the game is 'focused' on that demographic, I doubt they'll add more levelling paths unless they have them semi-finished already. And then we will never see more paths ever again. 	
----
			
To the OP, it seems you finished the content you are interested in.
 
I would suggest you let your sub run out and come back, in few months when more content is released - assuming your interest have not moved on.	
----
			No need to make excuses for them, Ildur. :p

Sure the game itself is a TON of fun in my opinion, but really what makes a game for me is the social aspect. Hanging out with my guild and doing things together is the main reason I log in. Even running through the same Vet Adventures 9324322 times a week to help with the attuning is fun when we're doing it together.
 
 
Maybe hunting around for a really great social group is what you should look at doing instead of depending on the game solely to make your time enjoyable?
