Why keep playing after reaching a Cavalier?

Hey guys,
I have been playing this game for 4 years. I reached the title of Cavalier a while ago, pulled about (7) 6 stars, including a duped Ghost. I do the event quests fully explored on uncolllected every month and stay active in AQ and AW to get an inch closer to leveling up my 5 stars. Rinse and repeat.
Why do end game players continue to play? I am a fairly decent player at fighting, but the content for end game players is tough enough to spend a few units or revives on the Cavalier path. Originally I enjoyed collecting the characters, but the only ones I seem to not have right now are Goldpool and Platpool.
I'm debating on resigning from the game. I just wanted everyones insight as to why you continue to play? Maybe your thoughts will help me make a clear decision.

From your post, even pre nerf you shouldn't have to use any significant amount of revives for completion. Some paths are bs with only a few counters, but overall it should not be that bad
I went through this most recently after I completed act 6 before the nerf. It was hard enough for me that I knew I would never fully explore act 6. So I quit playing as much and did the minimum to stay in my alliance. Then after a few months Kabam took their new direction, which reinvigorated me to start playing more again. Now I only have to 100% 6.4 to fully explore act 6.
Long story short, take a step back and figure out again why you enjoyed this game at one point. I still enjoy my alliance mates and figuring out to do achievable challenges.
If you’re calling being cavalier boring, why bother playing if you don’t plan to complete 6, try abyss and/or explore cavalier eq and go for thronebreaker?
Or you either suck too much money into the game and don’t wanna throw that away.
The games hard enough for me to feel i cant fully explore Act 6 either. I started playing whenever I had downtime and wasnt home. The busier I got, and the more new games that came out, the logins felt like a chore at times. And as much as I wanna start exploring the story, I barely have time in between AW, AQ, and event quests. The terrible 6* pulls did a number on me too. Lol.
But the peeps in my alliance are great. And the new characters get exciting at times too
The planning is fun i agree. The luck in a great character definitely makes me play with alot more fire. Its just the time I put in isnt so affordable.
Might seem a bit hypocritical that I'm still hanging around on the forums, but I'll probably not do this either in a couple of months
And OP, at this point, im definitely an Endgame player. Im one of those guys that explores permanent content day 1, does high tier AW and AQ, and has done(Almost) all content.
The reason you downloaded the game in the first place was for fun. I know a few people retiring for now do to the game getting stale. I explored V6/Act 7 within maybe 3 days of release, so recently ive just been having fun with rankups i enjoy. That doesnt mean the “top tier” champs. You can rerun old acts, mess around in RoL or just do alliance events and take a semi break. And if you want to know what fun rankups are, heres what my last ones have been:
6* R3 Apoc(Enjoyment)
6* R3 Ronin(Enjoyment)
R5 Cull(Fun)
R5 Monke(Fun)
R5 LS(Fun)
R5 iAbom(Fun)
R2 Nova(I love him)
Sure all these are great, but they are so fun to use.
The key to loving the game is ranking who you love.
The second is *how* I play. In general, my game play is driven by the principle of stay within sight of the top, but don't push into the top. I try to make sure I'm always in a position to be doing the highest content in the game, but I don't rush to finish it. As soon as Act 7 hit beta (the first time) I pushed hard to complete Act 6. Before that I was slowly doing one path here and one path there with left over energy at the end of the month, because I was in no rush to exhaust Act 6. And the way I slow down is I try to not burn resources to do it. I was only using expiring potions and left over energy. If I wiped on a path, that was it: I exited and tried again later. I pushed much harder when I knew Act 7 was coming so I could be ready to take it on, which means I was willing to spend more potions and units to complete Act 6. As soon as I completed Act 6, I took my foot off the gas again and waited for Act 7.
Right now I'm in the middle of first completion of Act 7. At the end of the month when I've exhausted the monthly EQ I use remaining energy on whatever I want to work on. That would be full exploration of the Variants I haven't explored yet, working on Act 6 exploration, and continuing to push forward on Act 7. The day they announce 7.2, I'll focus exclusively on completing 7.1 (if I haven't done so yet).
So in a sense I'm always able to work on the latest greatest thing, and on the other hand I don't run out of content. I'm aggressive when I feel I'm falling behind, and I'm more conservative and casual (but also resource-efficient) when I feel I'm mostly caught up to the top.
Between the two, it works for me.
