I have not been able to play as much as some of my friends, so I am a lower level than they are, but, to my knowledge, none of them have any trouble finding things to do, nor do I, both adventure and craft. And they have been here from beta, or release. I would like to challenge all of those who say that there is no content that they have not mastered with this (these) question(s):
You say there is nothing to do, but have you made characters who have every crafting class maxed out? Or ones who have every adventure class maxed out? Have you made characters who have classes you swore you saw no use for? Have you tried new mixtures of strategies? Used abilities and spells you swore were useless? Used them to defeat mobs you knew couldn't be defeated by anything other than your tried and true methods? Have you tried adventuring in cargo armor? Tried using tools as weapons? Have you tried to gift a newbie with your experience? Tried to work on someones' plot who you didn't know from Adam, just to use what you know? Have you participated in the world events, both adventure and craft? Have you gotten the thrill of knowing that that newbie you just gifted with a full set of armor or scales (teched, of course), will now live longer than he/she/it would have? Have you spent time working with the newbies on the New Player chat? Have you showed anyone your favorite places to hunt, or craft, or just look at? Have you tried to mentor a new player, showing them what you've done to make your build what it is?
These are just suggestions for things to do, but the reality is, there is more than enough content in this game to keep anyone interested and occupied. All that it takes is a little unselfishness and imagination. Whining that the world has no "elder" content just tells everyone what a paucity of imagination you have. Development will come from within, if you just try to find it. If you must have someone put something ingame to point to so you can say "see, now this is new and will save Horizons", then I'm sorry you have so little imagination. And that you are so selfish that helping others, even though you may not know them, is not an option.
