Looking for a casual-friendly game
I've been noticing more and more lately that I just get burned out on games. I'll pick up a new game, have fun, level up, and then just get bored or just lose the motivation to do anything. It's not that these are bad games because they really are great, but its just that my work schedule doesn't allow me to be hardcore like I used to be.
I love doing raids and hanging out with guildies, but I feel like there's no point in trying those things when I don't have the time needed to devote to it... This is where the lack of motivation comes in. Maybe I'm just asking/expecting too much from these games, but I'm hoping there's a game out there that is right for me.
I like RPGs and FPSs all the same and I switch between the two whenever I'm in the mood to play one or the other. I've been playing Wildstar and Planetside 2 which are both excellent games. Some other recent games include Rift, The Secret World, Guild Wars 2, & Final Fantasy XiV.
The Secret World was amazing and I'm sure it still is, but I just can't get into its clunky combat (If it's been changed please tell me!). I really enjoyed Rift, but I've grown tired of it's poor performing engine. Maybe I can get into GW2's PvP some more, but I'll probably just get bored with it. I refuse to let go of Planetside 2 because, as a Planetside 1 vet, it's my baby and nothing will ever take its place.
I'm looking for a RPG game that I can play and stay motivated to do things. It would need to have a lot of things I can do at endgame to keep me busy. I enjoy PvP so that's always a plus, but I'm not really into things like housing. Hopefully someone somewhere out there has a game for me.

Which would you say has better PvP?
If i had to say, I think tera has better pvp. I am not saying swtor has bad pvp, just tera might be better. Swtor pvp is like wow; arenas, battlegrounds and very little open world pvp. Now that i think about it, tera is not far off from that model, from what friends have said
Guess I might not be much help

Try getting back into GW2. Besides.... if you are truly going to play casually you shouldn't get bored of it.
Unless you aren't casual and are one of those people who classifies eight hours a day as casual.
I'm talking 2, maybe 3, hours a day on average. A lot more on the weekends/off-days.
Personally, after playing Tera's open world pvp and Guild vs. Guild system. I just can't pvp in games like SWTOR that uses tab target. Not because I can't, but because tab target pvp is boring as hell to me. If I was to tell you which to choose for pvp. Then Tera hands down.
wow, I wouldn't classify that as casual. That is quite a bit of time to be spending on a game. To me casual is a jumping on a couple of times a week.
It's usually only about 1 or 2 on the weekdays, but weekends I have more time. It's not very consistent either because my work hours and the times I am available to play are always changing.
I play Torn, its as sociable as you want it to be and you can spend as little or as much time there. The community is everything as its a text based game. Its just had it biggest overhaul ever, with more changes to come.
If anyone is interested register via the link below and drop me a line in game, I can help you out and equally youd be helping me out..win win
