Not sure about the hipster reference but the game definitely got boring fast. The primary reason in my opinion is the utter simplicity of the game. This is, without doubt or hesitation, the simplest MMO I have ever played (and I started playing MMO's with Meridian 59). Everything from character development to combat tactics is extremely simple to grasp and master so there just isn't any challenge. Got to lvl 80 within first month without much effort, and while it was fun, there just isn't any reason to play once you have put together your full exotic set. The WvW is rather poorly implemented and by that I mean boring and uninteresting and the dungeons are not compelling enough to run more than once or twice. So, after the fun ride to cap and gearing out, you are left with the feeling of "finishing" the game as running an alt has no appeal at all.
