They are expanding the quests to include outside explorable environments...
I felt the same way when I started playing. The fun of the game is in the multiple quest chains like Tangleroot, Deleras, and Co6...
The end game is real boring tho.. either loot grinding, or 3 raids which can be done back to back with 6 people in under 3 hours. Problem with the raids is they can only be completed once every 3 days... so it gets old real fast at higher levels.. but they are trying to work on this.
I believe Mod4 will bring enough endgame content to make many people happy.
