Dear Paragon Studios: You are giving me a content high.

Why fight it? Give in. Become one with thy inner... Pacman thing.
I remember saying back around I5, before i left due to ED and Emmert......that this game could be SO much more if the time was put in.
I'm GLAD to say I kept reading the message boards and kept up with the game. I returned and I'm completely happy that, now, I can actually take out my lvl 50 (now 53) character and run new arcs every few weeks.
I feel as if, if I have "nothing new to do" I just have to wait a few more weeks and I get a bunch of new stuff.
Sure, the average WoW player will finish this stuff in 2 nights.....but, for me, I can play around with new things for awhile before I get bored (even though I finish content much faster than the average player) and I can wait for the new things.
Way to go!!! This game is now the game I always said it could be!! 
Level 53: Arrows/Devices/Munitions Blaster
....and hopeless Science-Natzi.
I'm not that fast of a player. For instance, I just barely yesterday played the hero-side doppelganger arcs! So I think the new content will keep me entertained for quite a while.
Dearest Paragon Studios Employees,
You guys have been some seriously busy people, haven't you? Well, it makes me happy seeing all of your hard work. The new powersets, the QOL changes, the metagame improvements, the new IO sets, it's all incredible. From the perspective of someone who has interned in the MMOG industry, it's also inspiring. I have yet to see another MMO studio with dedication and communication like yours.
I have one question for you, though. It's a simple question pertaining to the massive flood of announced and soon-to-be-released content you fine folks have been pumping out in a seemingly unending fashion: How do you mitigate a content high? I am always extremely excited when I see new stuff for this game. I love this game. It's how I decompress after a hard day's work. It's how I spark up my creative muse. It's even what I do for fun (nyuck nyuck). So as you can imagine, new content just makes me as giddy and as hyper as can be.
The problem with that though, is that recently you guys have been putting out so much content that I'm starting to literally get a high off of all of it. After reading this morning's interview article (posted in the same forum as this topic) and learning of Psi Melee and Specialized Power Pools, I'm in my chair at work jittering like a man who's been duct taped to a jackhammer. There's a tiny cartoon character in my head who reads all of this and screams "NOW NOW NOW NOW MEEEEEE GIVE OMNOMNOMNOM" in a high pitched falsetto.
So again, I ask, how do I mitigate this content high? How do I stave off my rapidly-growing anticipation and apply patience to this need for the 'new shiny' as it were?
Respectfully yours,
@Insane V
P.S. - HOLY CRAP ALL OF THIS STUFF IS AWESOME I CAN'T WAIT.
P.P.S. - There is nothing bad about this little write-up; mad props to all of you at Paragon, and thank you for working so hard to bring more awesome to the most awesome game ever.
