I'm going to say this nice, and flat out. For pirates such as myself, who have pirates close to if not mastered, new content will keep you excited for a week or so. Then, your bored again. The only way to actually experience the entire inventory system, is to create a new pirate. This way, you get to experience every little thing you hit along the way (but honestly, who wants to create a new pirate for every single update?) With a higher leveled pirate, the content Disney adds now is most likely going to be, in laymans terms, easy and boring.
Personally, I'm with the game, because its fun. Now, by fun, do I mean the content? Not exactly. I'm here because its fun to experience the game with my mates. I wouldn't care if the game was one island, one server, and one quest - I'm sure I, along with others, would still be entertained by it.
Realize: MMO's are different from regular console games. With console gams, you beat everything, and then wait for the next game to come out. With MMO's.. basically the same thing, only your waiting for content. But what makes people, like me, stay with MMO's between that content? It's the social aspect. Lets face it, 95% of the game revolves around interaction with other players. Now, I'm not saying you can't hit 50, do all the quests, and master all your weapons without help. But then its not going to be nearly as enjoying as if you find a guild, meet some friends, and do things away from the games actual content.
I don't care that WoW has so much content it takes up, what, 10 GB for every expansion? That you can play for years and still not get bored. I don't care that Guild Wars has this, or POTBS has that. I care about MY game, and how entertaining it is by itself, not how entertaining it is compared to other games. And as far as I see it, POTCO gets an A+
NOTE: Opinion
