End Game Content

In a game such as SWTOR which is being pushed heavily as a Story driven MMO. Are you afraid of what this means for End Game Content?
Bioware can only give you so much story. I for one am a bit worried that the focus on story is so strong that they might rush the End Game Content.
Now I know we have barely heard anything about the game, but this is a MMO and once you have run through the story to the last possible option. what is left for us to do?
Other then having some ongoing process of updating content or some deep player to player driven game mechanics that is truly rewarding. They can easily fall into a pit so many before them have already done.
Hmmm...
I wish developers would start making MMO's backwards. Start with the End Content and work your way back to the beginning. that way even if the game starts off a bit sucky it keeps getting better because the most effort was put into the end of the game and not the beginning.

i personaly would like to see a max level open world pvp for specific classes Vs classes, e.g. sith Vs jedi, bount hunters Vs sith and jedi and so on and so forth. i think having your class play a specific pvp role like that would make the pvp more strategic in an open world scenario, its not just button bash kill anything you can, but u have to pick your targets.
ofc their would be truly awesome rewards, maybe some kind of badge reward system, so u get a badge for each class u kill, say your a bount hunter, you will need to collect 5 sith, 10 jedi, and 3 smuggler badges, to get the new weapon you need !
as for pve, i must be honest, i (kinda) like wow end lvl pve, not exactly the way it works but the AMOUNT of it. just imagin going into a epicly sized star destroyer type thing ( i know, star destoryer, wrong time line its an example) and having to kill imperials, rogue rebel leaders, i dunno, what ever you want :P just some really hard, and VERY strategic bosses.
another thing i would like to see is the amount of different items, wows item database is one of the largest and most custom i have ever seen. and although i dont play, i was very impressed.
aswell as this i would also like to see some sort of "upgrade" system, not just " woo i have the best weapon with the best chanter or gem or glow or wtf else there is" but maybe some ultra rare boss loots, that will increase RANDOM stats, with RANDOM enchants with RANDOM OTHER STUFF !!! i would love to see a game where end content, does not mean you have the same character as everyone else.
id also like allot of custom looking armor... OVER EXADURATE EVERYTHING .. make a 200ft darth maul if u have to! just make the game Star wars, but also make it a MMO, not a game based on some movies
5 level 80's on WoW -_- boooooring !!
Oh for gods sakes. The game hasn't even been released yet, we don't even know what format its going to take, and people are already freaking out over end game content.
How about you just chill and wait, hmmm? Personally, I'm hoping to hell they stay away from PvP and raiding.
yes, we shall get max lvl and just continue to quest by ourselves ?????
what else kinda end content is there other then raiding and pvp ?

Im totally not worried about it. Lets think about this: whats the worst that can happen? that it has zero end content. ok. we just been through 200 hours of story with 1 character. if you dont wanna make an alt, its still 200 hours of kotor 3-12 (according to bioware). All that for the box price + a few months subs. To me, that alone is worth it.
Of course thats the worst case scenario. Im sure there will be stuff to do. they have confirmed pvp, so thats one. Ive seen concept art of player housing on the swtor site a few weeks ago, they said there will be crafting, so you see, there will be plenty to do.
and to be honest, im more worried about whether or not the game will have fishing then raiding. I hope raiding, as it its done in wow, dies. but then again, bioware already said that we wont see 40 people bashing on one boss anyway. So, in my opinion, its all good and I cant wait.
If you stand VERY still, and close your eyes, after a minute you can actually FEEL the universe revolving around PvP.
End game will have the usual. Crafting, story driven repeatable PvE instances/raids, PvP senarios (light vs dark) with a story behind the PvP.
How will it be done? No clue, we will all have to wait and see. Opinions are good, but they are just opinions, including mine.
How many people long for that "past, simpler, and better world," I wonder, without ever recognizing the truth that perhaps it was they who were simpler and better, and not the world about them?

Touche, really its like WTF being all worried about end game this and end game that...Bioware are changing the way MMOs are played by doing a heavily story-driven adventure, that not only solo players benefits from but also the entire group gets to make important decisions during questing and events.
From what they've said about this being the size and scope of KOTOR for each class, that's massive fun and entertainment. So lets see 8 times through the game for personal class storylines; not to mention all the different choices you make or the groups you play with will change the story for you, plus the encounters and prolly a number of other features we don't know about yet.
Seriously how can one be so fracken worried about end-game with so much to do already! Who gives a crap and once players start getting there then decide if you like it or not!
Its Bioware for one, Star Wars for two; that which Bioware has proven successful working with the lore on, and and and....
Bazinga! HAHAHA :O

Since Bioware seems to be focusing so much on storyline and has mentioned people rolling numerous alts I dont see them investing tons of time into end game content. Since they plan on competing with WoW, they will have end game raiding, but it will most likely be small "accessible" raids for the casual crowd. Who knows at this point though? Its not like they give any details other than the storyline and voice-over crap.
