I've managed to put up with lots of terrible things in Age of Conan since launch.  Constant crashes, gray maps, falling through the world, poor economy, boring landscapes, but because my guild plays, so I stick with it.   In the recent patch, it's almost like Funcom was telling me I should go play some other game.

I just made level 50 and exhausted all of the level 50 quests in Eiglophian Mountains.  So the guild says "Do villa's for a bit because there's really no quests unless you want to grind".

Lol, not bad. ok.  The last patch says "Villa quests give less experience and villa npc's buffed!".  WTF.  This is definitely Funcom telling me.  "Oh no you don't bitch, no Villa's for you!" 

Where can I go for quests without grinding?  Is it true that there is no level 50 quest lines?  Do you have to grind your way to thunder river?    Fanboys and haters alike are welcome to chime in, but if somebody has an answer, that is what I'm looking for.
