SP nerfed. We were lied to.

It's the butthurt oldschool MMO gamers who think their archaic, out of date, NOT FUN way of leveling up by killing the same monster over and over and over is how you're supposed to level. Grinding is not fun. Nobody with a functioning brain finds it fun. They're suffering from Stockholm Syndrome because it's all their primitive minds can comprehend. Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game means you play online with other players. While this of course means you will party with them to tackle hard challenges, it does not mean you should HAVE to party with them no matter what. I should be able to kill a fucking rat my level if I want to.

Grinding is an essential mechanic of MMORPG's; if you cant deal with that or don't find that fun then i suggest you either play a platformer or find a easier MMO.

Though grinding is used to provide a "level playing field", this effect could be achieved with any time-consuming behavior that is accessible to all and provides game advancement I.E. Leves, behests, group grinds, raids, you name it... they are all grinds.
