We're ending like we began; fighting the Rikti.

There's only one entity that wins and I can only hope their victory is short lived.

There is no apocalypse for COH players. We all just got together and beat the game.
There are COH players who can beat the toughest enemy groups and individual enemies on the highest settings by themselves.
There are COH players who can solo Master Of TF's and duo Incarnate Trials.
There are COH players who can turn Blasters into Tanks... And solid ones at that (*points to signature.*)
There are COH players who can collect every single badge in the game, and memorize the locations of most of them for good measure.
The NPC's are TERRIFIED of us, and for good reason. They've been our adversaries for years, and they're finally giving up. We win. Game over.
And don't even get me started on our market aptitude. We've given Wentworth's enough of a fiscal crisis to keep them busy for the next 20 years.

Or instead we win and save the Earth, bask triumphantly in our glory, give a memorable heroic/villainous speech, then proceed to enter battle against our enemies, the villains/heroes, in a never ending war for justice/power as the screen fades to black and the words "The End" roll up.|

Debby Downer? If my post is getting you down, then December 1st is going to be a really bad day for you.............
I'm simply being realistic.
The Rikti winning would be a fitting way for the game to end.
I've thoroughly enjoyed my time on this game, but it's time to move on.

I've always felt the Rikti were overdone. They were the "big threat" all the way through the game....and I never felt they were really good enough nor interesting enough to really hold the spotlight.
I know it's fitting that the lore says the Rikti battles were a major turning point and why we needed new heroes....and we ended Beta with a Rikti invasion....and we go out on the Rikti....
....but, a zombie apocalypse would be so much more fun. Hey, it's gonna end anyway....why not give a story to it 
Either way, I probably won't be playing. After the announcement.....I just stopped logging on-- wasn't my intention, but it is what happened.
I did get on the other night and there was no one in DA.....not many looking for group. It was a ghost town.
To me, it feels like the game is already gone.

You put a negative spin on the game ending. I put a positive one on it. That's kind of the definition of a Debby Downer, bud.

At least my version of the ending will always have the potential for a return of the heroes to save the Earth from the Rikti - for all time basically.
It's very easy to roll out the 'Debby Downer' crap in our current predicament, but I simply see it as a sign of limited imagination and ignorance these days.
Feel free to use it again as you see fit.
