Are new weapons really worth me spending money on only to max out the raised level caps or find some gear? I don't need new gear or new skills or raised level caps, I can kill level 50 enemies easily already. Even a few new enemies wouldn't be worth paying money.

I guess in my rant I really want to know, is this game worth it at the end of the day?
I'm just sad as there isn't anything meaningful left to do. Even if I had my dream of just being able to customize my ship, how long would I be happy? 1 week?

Everyone has their different views on the game, different ways to have fun, different ways to be considered bored.. so there's really no way to tell. You sound like most do, so finding something new to do, either in game, or out is the next step.

As ex8404 said, many stay for the social aspect of the game. Trying that out could be a solution. If that doesn't work, taking a short break from the game could help spark your interest once again. Or, find out what made you interested in the first place, and pursue that.

In response to the new weapons, no, personally I don't feel they are worth it. Granted they are something new, but until there is a use for them.. I don't see a reason. Add in that our body types are possibly being changed.. it's definitely not worth it at this time - the future, yes, now.. that's the players call.

You probably would be tired of it in one week. Thinking about it, a lot of us would be. Sure, plenty of us enjoy this idea, but it feels like it's too late. If it were there since day one, it would be more connected to the game.. but if it is a new addition, it almost feels forced upon the players - such as the inventory. Perfect example.. many of us grew used to certain parts of the game.. old islands, no inventory.. then they add updates which completely alter the previous.. that forces change that sometimes we don't want.

I have done a radical 180 degree turn on the whole Loot Drop, Inventory, New Weapons thing. Since the last update, the third total reset, I am over it. I have played for a few hours and got drops of Ammo and Potions only.

A guild mate said that you have to play in large groups to get good drops in order to encourage crewing up. And that ended it for me. (That and the unmotivated, ridiculous, body style change.) I have never understood trading rep for loot...Anyway, Drew, I hope you find your answers.

Yeah. I wish I had said that.

Edit: I think I am spending more time here than I am in the game...
