Castrum grind might stop me from subbing

I see a solution, quit your job. You now have more time and you won't have to come home tired only to grind the same content over and over. Seeing as you will not be as tired you will have more energy and will feel more able to grind. :P

Honestly, 2.5 hours per piece of gear is not terrible. Many other MMOs would require more than that just for a dropped item that May or may not drop for your class
