@dev team ->> Thanks for bringing back party grinding, -really-

As long as killing a mob gives XP, grinding is always an option, no matter how many quests the game wants to throw at you. And whether you grind alone or in a group is completely up to you.

There was no moment in the development of XIV where you couldn't just party up and go grind. There were definitely times where it wasn't the most efficient play, but you could do it for fun nontheless.

People who genuinely prefer mindless mob-grinding for hours always have that option. Providing quests for the other players who don't want to grind takes nothing away from the grind fans.

Not providing alternative content to grinding however leaves the people who are bored of grind in the cold.

Human's take the path of least resistance. If playing in a group is less beneficial then playing alone, people will play alone thus, your comment that grinding in a group is always an option is not really true, if you can't find a PUG willing to group because they can succeed more effectively alone.

This is a MMO, not a single player game......
