I have motivational issues of another kind, heh. I'm really into the lore but most of my friends have a middling interest in it at best. I'm kind of like the bookish girl everyone knew in school; always in the library, reliable source of info for everything.
One example was yesterday, watching the Heavensward dungeon trailer and seeing the winged Ixal in holding tubes. The implications for that are absolutely **HUGE**. The reason for the Ixal summoning Garuda, why they hate Gridanians and those living in the Black Shroud, the core of their age-old bitterness, hatred and cruelty ... and I just couldn't get any enthusiasm / understanding out of my friends.
Sometimes it feels like I'm trapped inside of myself; in this weird place where I want to be all super nerdy about the lore and discuss things at length, go into implications of Event Y or what would happen if NPC X did this. But I can't. Because there's no-one close to share it with. I have the exact same issue with my writing. It's incredibly frustrating.
As far as in-game stuff goes, yeah. Pre-patch/expansion lull. Even finding people to do primal PFs with is rare the past week or so. My advice would be to do what others have suggested: set yourself a goal each day. You've then done something and anything more is a bonus. Be positive!
