Not Enough Endgame Content

It’s pretty much just the title. There’s really not any endgame content left in the game at this point. Cavalier EQ and the Legendary SQ really aren’t challenging and the rewards they offer are mediocre. I have revives constantly going into the overflow because there’s no content left to use them on (though I decided to finally get around to doing LoL 100% and that’s helping me prevent revives from expiring). I was really looking forward to the Summer of Pain but that never happened and Book 2 doesn’t get released until December(?).
I also don’t have the time necessary to join a higher tier alliance that does Map 7 and high level AW, not that I particularly need the extra resources but rather I want the challenge.
Mostly I just feel like the game has stagnated. Even opening crystals has lost its appeal since I have a large enough roster to effectively counter everything in the game.
Are any other Endgame players feeling like this?

Why not starting fresh with a second account? Or simply find a new game to use the energy and time on?
I know all of this mess came from one youtuber cryshow (shame on him) but Kabam should be tougher. What a disappointment.
Right now the game is so boring. Everything is just boring af. I have nothing to do. And with 6 month break there will be hundred of new endgame players to face the same problems.
I think it should be taken into account that if a palyer starts playing now, it takes a long time to explore the abyss and act 6.
Act 7 was too restrictive, it is not the cry of a single you tuber as I read around, it was the whole community that was testing the content to complain (and with the stupid randomnes cat 5 class, it happens very frequently not to have the option of a r3). And so it has slowed down in order to balance it.
Not playing AQ or war at certain levels, for a player who has ALMOST finished everything, I can understand that there is more time and resources to invest in the "single player" contents of the game. But it's not Kabam's fault if you decides not to play large chunk of the game's contents
I got a huge roster and done everything 100% except ABYSS
I’ve been opening only irrelevant dupes of 5* whom either I already got at max rank or they stay at level 1 because I don’t think they deserve resources
6* luck is really bad
In short I’m stuck in a loop of getting unwanted 5* and piling 6* shards for opening **** 6*
No content to look upon in medium term as of now
In 5* i just need HT so i can explore abyss but after opening 35 dual class crystals I guess i should shift towards featured crystals instead.
I kept on selling isos because hardly any champ left to rank up (this resulted in a good inventory of gold though lol)
Neither Act6 compensation coming nor any good new end game content. War and AQ are repetitive.
Crux: Getting bored more often nowadays. No enthusiasm and excitement in doing monthly events either.
I dont see the pulling teeth fights as a challenge, it's too strenuous. If you need a challenge I'd advise looking beyond this game
It would be nice if there were monthly events like the Maze for the endgame players to keep themselves busy with.
The issue is that probably 90% of the player base haven’t completed Act 6. Of that 10% who have, maybe 10% have explored it - 4 of us in my alliance have and we’re pretty high tier. Of those 10% who explored it, most have probably completed AoL, but again probably only 10-20% of that figure have explored AoL. There’s still probably less than 2000 players who’ve explored the entire game V1-5, AoL, Act 6.
Sure, this small minority probably account for a lot of revenue but prioritising the very small elite over the majority would be a mistake and even further widen the gap.
Cavalier difficulty was a nice addition but came a year late, and it's a bit easy for Thronebreakers. Summer of Pain was supposed to tide us over between Abyss and Act 7. It was a HUGE drop of the ball not to have this released by now. Kabam will be haemorrhaging top tier players by not keeping them interested.
AQ and AW are the go-to place for difficult content but they're quite different. There's a lot of stress associated with the top levels, and it takes a lot of time. I can totally see why that may not appeal to people.
4 LoL paths
6.2 - 6.4 explore ( Lazy)
V5 and V1 (Lazy)
Only those left to do. I feel like I wanna save all resources first for Abyss to be sure the hardest is done but still I litterally login everyday and MAYBE do 5 - 6 rounds of arena and here and there some RoL with fun champs
I’ve kind of taken a step back from the game, but I’m not sure if that’s due to the lack of content you’re describing or if it’s just because my personal life for very very busy
So I don’t want to comment to much, but I will say this. This is exactly why I said the new EQ should’ve been set to an act 6 completion level. Cav just isn’t high enough to keep the top end engaged. And I would be willing to bet that they contribute a hugely disproportionate amount of revenue to the game than they represent. So you all feeling bored, isn’t good.
I do think we’ll see summer of pain next month, for two reasons. Firstly, Gwenpool hinted at it in the EQ. Secondly, and this is much more cynical, it will probably be a unit drain before cyber weekend.
Personally, I don’t want or need ‘super difficult endgame content’. I’m looking forward to Act 7 because it looks fun. Which is what I want from a game.
