grindy? Dude...you..just...ugh have you EVER played a RPG? Seriously...RPGs aren't meant to hit max level in a day. Aside from exploiting on FFXI (which people still do, yes..people DO still summoner burn) there is no way to hit max level in a day. Why you think that you are entitled to not have to work for your stuff is beyond me. "Oh hai, SE, I want max level, max gear, no work, I can has, yes?" NO! This game isn't grindy at all. It is EASIER TO LEVEL COMPARED TO ALMOST EVERY GAME ON THE MARKET and you STILL think that it is grindy. You can hit max level in FFXIV faster than you can on COD...that's sad...and if you think Hello Kitty Online is a grind..wow dude..you're terrible. Go play Allods. THAT is a grind. You're r33 after 6 months? Go play a different game since this one is obviously too difficult for you.
