Is PvP the "True" End-Game?
I've had this niggling doubt in the back of my head and I'm curious as to other people's take on the subject.
With the Crusades having long been a thing of the past, there doesn't seem to be much on the PvE side of things outside of constant dungeon and/or BAM grinding. So I'm curious as to whether or not PvP and BGs are supposed to be the "real" end-game of TERA. After all, even the log-in screen says something akin to "Now that you've conquered the story, it's time to test your mettle in the Battlegrounds!"
Statement: Now, I want to go on record as saying that most of the BGs I've actually tried. And I'll simply say that I'm not a fan.
Thoughts?

If there is any "true" endgame content, it has to be unequalized, meaning GvGs, Civil Unrest, and Team 3s (Champions Skyring) for PvP. Whether these are any more endgame than grinding the highest level dungeons is debatable - I'm biased towards PvP myself.
The game is certainly PvE focused, and I don't feel it is the intent of BHS to consider any PvP content to be the focus at endgame. It's simply not catered to enough for that to be the case, and probably only because of Power Hours that it's active at all in the West. I will say that I think PvP is a greater meter of one's skill, and a much better place to grow and improve. But not everyone is competitive, and the loss of Crusades tells us that BHS doesn't want TERA to be competitive.
Tl;dr - unequalized PvP might be the 'better' endgame content imo, but not the endgame that TERA is designed around.
This is the true Endgame. And buy many costume, change you race and dance in HW :chuffed:
