I don't mind being at a plateau in a MMO, as long as there is something to advance my character with then. EQ1 had its AA system, when I quit, because I didn't have time to play a game that was ONLY about grouping, there were like 1200 AA points to acquire. Most people maybe hit the level cap with a quarter of that many AAs. In EQ2, you hit the level cap with maybe 80 AAs to go, and most people I know get to the magical 200 in a few weeks to maybe a month. Usually by that time you are kitted out in full T2 maybe T3, myth etc. All that is left to raid, if you don't like to raid... Once that happens I know most of them just reroll. I am already on my 4th alt to do it. Gear is nice and all, but I really like to see that there is some reason to actually group. The systems that are already in place put very little emphasis on endgame grouping for very long.
