What people don't understand grinding can be anything it doesn't matter what you do, if you feel bored after a while it is a grind. As much fun as campaign was in XI getting that gear for my pld FELT like a grind even tho it was fun. I loved to party in XI so don't hate on the people who love the party and grind mobs cause it basically the same thing when you do a dungeon over and over for xp.

No matter what the content is your gonna be killing mobs for xp anyway.
