What is the 'end game' to you?

[MeridianR]

Since there seems to be varying answers as to what we feel the end game is for Paladins', I would like to know what everyone believes it is. By end game, I mean what you do after you hit the level cap. For now it is Level 50, but in September it is going up to Level 60. Personally when I hit L50 (should be 3 weeks maybe) I don't want to just drop my Paladin and focus on other toons, I would like to enjoy the hard work that was put into him. I have stated a couple times I believe the end game to be Raiding, but I have seen a couple people don't believe that to be the end game....so here is your chance to post: <font color="#ccff00"> </font><font color="#ccff00">-- What do you feel the end game is?</font><font color="#ccff00"> </font><font color="#ccff00">-- What are your suggestions on how to improve the end game?</font><font color="#ccff00"> </font><font color="#ccff00">-- How do current level capped Paladin's feel about there role in what they believe is the end game?</font><font color="#ccff00"> </font><font color="#ccff00">-- What are your plans when you hit the level cap?</font> <div></div>

Every patch seems to make them more appealing (cash wise).. or ''rather'' annoying to people that do not want to do them.. Ever-trade-skill, Ever-sit-in-front-of-artisan-equipment or is it Ever-quest?</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ffffff></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ffffff>My thoughts as a long time 50 pally...</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ccff00><FONT color=#ccff00></FONT></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ccff00><FONT color=#ccff00>P.S.
