    AION- same as WoW

    RIFT- same as WoW

    DCUO- so far i have had the most fun with the grind in this game, but it was more difficult to make friends because all content was solo able.

    If these are not your next gen MMO's and you are referring to Guild Wars 2, Blade and Soul, SWTOR, and so on they are not even release yet, so lets not count our chickens just yet.
    I'm not saying trying to say they dont have grind, it's just that the grind there is more varied and not limited to exp party. WoW and Aion arnt exactly new MMO's either.

    I understand what your saying, i just want people to realize the grind is in every MMORPG and we need to stop stressing on the god dam* grind and focus on fun, relevant, valuable, rewarding content that breaks up the monotone of a grind. When there is constant fun content all throughout the game, the grind becomes more of an after thought.
