    Sorry but this grind is anything but like FFXI. I'm going to have to jump on the other side of the fence (which I don't like) and say that if you don't like it don't do it. Relic grind is optional, Having said that I actually enjoy it. It gives me something to do in this game. Even if it is mind numbing. The game pre 2.2 was boring as hell login on Monday do T1-T4, Cap Tomes, Login on Wed do T5 and wait until Monday to do anything. Now I have a reason to login more than 2-3 days a week.

    I actually like the fact that they make Hard mode dungeons, Eventually we'll have them all remade. At least I can replay a dungeon and enjoy the beauty and design without having to level sync. As for the hunts I'm really excited about those, Should bring a nice feeling with having to hunt down NMs.

    But again Far from FFXI grinds, When Yoshi adds Mythic Weapons that take 2 years to complete come talk to me....... LOL FFXI all over again!

    You don't need to, It your opinion and everyone has the right to say what they want.

    Very true, although that doesn't mean one can go about saying whatever they want and actually think it's right, at least when expressing these opinions to others. That basically is misleading opinions expressed as facts and often results in things like smearing and propaganda. XI typically gets a bad rap from the general public, but it's safe to assume, based on context clues, that most of these people either never played it or are simply not of the right mind for MMORPGs. Complaining about grinds in an MMORPG, for example, is like saying that FPS games have too much shooting in them. It's part of the genre, and you really shouldn't step away from the formula that brought it to the level of popularity it reached.

    Despite saying that, however, I do give the OP credit for acknowledging the misleading statements. That's a clear sign of a sensible individual. He's free to have an opinion about what he likes/dislikes about the game or genre, but like I said, if you're going to use something as an example or evidence of, you need to at least understand it.
