I don't really see an issue with grinding for gear, we mindlessly grind for everything else in the game as it is. That's basically GW in a nutshell. We just grind for mostly trivial things like vanity. Personally, I find gear progression much more gratifying than a title that typically represents hundreds, if not thousands of hours doing very mundane things.
The thing is, outside of reputation titles (and their skills) all of that grind is optional. Whereas if the power scaling goes on much longer, and the enemies are scaled to that higher power level, not only is that a lot of grinding which can't be avoided, but it is also duplicated across every (new) character.
I appreciate gear grinds when it introduces a new playstyle, but not when it just increases health +60 or what have you - which is how most games seem to implement it these days. Anniversary weapons are the type of end-game gear grind which would appeal to me, although I appreciate that grind isn't required.
Agree to disagree on this one I think!

For me, that low ceiling is exactly why I like GW. Instead of mindlessly grinding mods for a +1 trait or incrementally better gear, the progression comes from learning each area, it's mobs, and playing your own skillbars better. Much more satisfying personally, and also means it's much quicker to get alt characters up and running.
You could always start a new character - that will likely give you plenty of reason to farm. You're right though, most people have all they need in the game now (outside of high-end collectors). Just play the game for it's own sake - the gameplay is still fun after all.

I returned to GW just before last year's anniversary for the first time in several years, and this year's event has brought me back again after a few month's of inactivity.
Both times I found the spark to set some new goals and start playing again. Last year I went from a single PvE char to 3 with all content finished! Also created a perma-pre char and achieved LdoA, Ironman playthroughs for Prophecies (War, no deaths!), Factions (Ranger) and Nightfall (Para).
This year I'm working on maxing Canthan Vanquisher & Cartographer for my Mesmer, as I realised I wasn't too far off. I've also decided to start an Ele, as I need a fresh playthrough without the temptation to use mercs for everything.
Whether you have just come back to the game or have always been playing, what goals are you working towards?

I was just scrolling through this thread again and loved the ele look you have!
For some reason the modern-looking pants and colours reminded me of Faith in Mirror's Edge, so I threw this together:
