Playing casually on and off i'm 50% completed the whee and have 3 builds I use depending on situation. One aoe, one dps and one hybrid which i use for soloing.I've skipped alot of sabotage and investigation missions so once i've done everything I wanted I could go back and do them since I don't want to use google to complete them and have to think long and hard  about even what to do next. Pretty much done with the story quests and just doing the same missions and side quests over and over between dungeons. So, I don't think I'm at end game yet and don't really want to be either because I'll lose interest if I have 100% everything.

Translation:  There's plenty of content for the majority of players to not burn out of something to do right now.

For me personally - I 'could' of been at end game if I just rushed through the storyline and missions I suppose.  I'm doing NM stuff, but haven't finished the Transylvania storyline or missions yet.  There's also tons of lore and achievement stuff I want to track down to learn more about the story.

That wasn't what I was trying to say, actually it was the other way around.

Not at the Endgame yet.  I have enough AP/SP to be at the endgame if i wanted to, but instead of doing that, I'm just doing just doing all the zones "on-level" without getting QL10 gear and blowing through them. 

I've done exactly 4 of the game's 8 zones atm.  I plan to be in QL10 stuff by the end of the 2nd Egypt zone and then to start doing elites while working through Trans on my own.

There is a huge difference between "end game" and "finishing the content".

"End game" can be reached in 2 weeks, as long as your on the NM treadmill your effectively at the pve endgame, but you'd have to skip much of the content to get there this way.

Kitted out fully, 10.4, completed storyline, completed every mission at least once (without cheating or using walkthroughs), filled out the lore 100%, killed all the rare spawns (required for lore completion), completed every lair, dungeon, elite and NM at least once, and whatever the limit is to pvp rewards (i don't pvp, no idea what that might be) and then, maybe, you can claim to have "finished the game". Im not sure completing the skill wheel counts...

I don't think many can lay claim to that mantle just yet.

Oh, I know what you meant.  The number of people that have reached end game are in the minority.  Isn't that the point of your poll?  Or were you hoping for different results?

Im not debating that according to the poll less folks have gotten to endgame. The ones that have is what my comment is about.

Not yet, I'm in the 2nd Egypt zone.  I plan on completely filling out the skill wheel so I think I'll be playing for some time to come.  I plan on playing both GW2 and TSW.  When I get tired of the GW2 ultra cartoony settings I'll fire up TSW.

 

People whom don't PvP thinking that they will get more than 5-6 months out of either game are fooling themselves.  TSW's content is outstanding it appears to be about 33% - 50% short of what I would expect of a newly released MMO though.  Still well worth the money.

Im allmost done in Blue mountains. 

I really don't understand why ppl wanna rush a game like this. It's really not the way this should be played. 

I spent my time reading the quest (not cheating) and exploring the world. I played since pre-release so i guess theres several months of content left for me to do =)

If you rush through the content only to complete it and skip all the quests that are interesting and require thinking, then wouldn't you have been on the "Treadmill" the entire time?

This game definitely requires you take your time and play casually or you'll get burnt quick, I think.
