named item drop rates are miserable

[Thrudh]

I am also surprised that lots of players tring to no end do so because they are optimizing for an end build, when it is clear there is no end game in ddo not there has been for many years. Whatever, it works and ssg rides it hard.

Explain "end-game" in any MMO, please. There's certainly an end-game in DDO, and it's the same as most MMOs.

I like hanging out at cap, and working on gear, and when I get the gear, testing myself on hard content at mid-to-high reaper, while continuing to advance my character gaining reaper xp and sentient food.

That's end-game. It's fun. Tough quests, my character is all "done", and yet still advancing.

AND, when I want a change of pace, I can TR and start over, usually with a new character build that plays differently from what I was just running.

What exactly do you guys want for "end-game"?
