I'm also getting sick of the grinders. Like Jaminos said, you can level up easily with the actual game content. You have quests, socializing, forming a stable and fun party, the effin main storyline, dungeons, guildleves and guildhests... but NO, people prefer to grind and repeat the same sheit like machine or a broken record. What the hell?! Why even buy the game if you are going to skip 80% of it? I wonder if those people will utilize ANY of the features that Square is planing for the future, like housing, card games or chocobo races.

Heh... Why should they, if they can just GRIND. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoJE3slQR4s

Am I the only one that gets creeped out by the grinders? I mean, how much more obsessive compulsive you can get? Sometimes it looks almost fanatical... JEEZ...
