Imo, end game is great right now. Anyone who makes statements about how raid mobs die instantly has no idea what they're talking about. Some are tracked and killed, sure, but many stay up for hours. Check out this wiki page:

Look at the thurgadin, Kael, and skyshrine armor sets. Most guilds are focusing on those right now I think. All very good armor, and all are available without needing to sock a boss.
Get to raiding level (55-60), find a guild working on the faction you want, and start attending raids. You may not get geared out right away, but the drops are pretty common.
Plus, raid bosses aren't nearly as faceroll-y as they used to be. Lots of stuff takes practice, resists, aggro management, attempts, etc. Honestly, end game is what you make it. Do you want to be on call 24/7 but have a chance to kill some of the hardest stuff? Or would you rather play more casually, get Kael/ SS/ Thurg armor and a few bosses? Think about that and join a guild that will reflect your goals.
