well funcom predicted that there would be little or no level 200 players at the end of the 'four year' storyline.
they probably implimented the boredom factor to stop people gettting there, however they underestimated our ability to withstand repetetive missions ... yes they did ...
Side note:
I was leveling with a level 195 player the other day, we were all chatting in the mission, as you do to pass the time. then it popped out we were talking about the dead maze in BS and some other places around BS that we 'ran' to when we didn't have a yalm...
the 195 player didn't have a clue where we were talking about, so we asked him a few more 'sights' and not one rang a bell.. this player had over 4000 tokens, and didn't know any of the 'cool' places on rubi-ka...
yes, i may have don'e my share of missions and gotten bored as hell of them, but i still fondly remember my outdoor hinting days, with the friends that have long since moved from the planet of rubi-ka.
There is still more to this game than missions, its up to you to find it. A 1k toekn board is pretty much essential items nowadays, however, after you get it... hunt outdoors, there are plenty of mobs out there, that give the same or more xp (since the outdoor xp bump)
