Endgame content just became that important because of all those crappy pservers with their rates. And the community, oh hell, they just became spoiled rabbits with that. Questing/grinding/leveling just became irrelevant or lets call it "botrelevant"...
So what to do with a spoiled rabbit?
You gotta give him the food and the comfort he needs...and what is the food/comfort compared to sro ?
He needs rates which will get him fastly to the endgame content...(yea, there we are again, the endgame content..)
He needs free stuff, you might said earlier that you wont add any free stuff, but it will break ur neck, it will make your server look like pay2play (no need to discuss about that topic 'pay2play' since it will end up in nothing). It is simply proved by other servers and this stupid community.
He needs special features which stings out from others.
You gotta give him the nostalgia feeling of the major attraction, the jobbing.
So, nowadays, the endgame content is the corn of a successful server. And how you gonna make it, is your recipe/your key of success.
