Uh, you do realize dont you that if your complaint is the robots booting you off, all you need to do is load a stability skill and use it to walk past them. If your human you can even use their elite melandru form

Your issue isnt with ascended crafting, its with forever gear. I have had the exact same armor set on my guardian for 9 years.... only the runes were updated along with higher agony resist items. My mesmer has been the same for 7 years. New armor/weapon skins? Dont care, their looks have been the same skimpy outfits for years. New weapon set? Cool ill unlock as i get them, but why would i equip something that isnt my legendary skins? So basically you want Anet to make a new ascended armor skin set for people to want to unlock, as the vast majority of us have no real need or desire to change our gear, but just about all new skins are exotic....

Another option for endgame is to just open up your achievement panel, and start working through them. once you hit 80, its totally up to you at the pace you work at. I would only warn you to NOT farm for a legendary of any kind immediately, that will burn you out the instant you make the item. some things you can only work on during the various festivals, but otherwise everything can be done at any time, and if you are having trouble finding others to do meta events with you, alot of people tend to do them at the daily reset.
