Why should I be excited for Grind Parties?

[ZachCero]

Dude, not having a r50 doesn't invalidate a his point

I've been playing since release and don't have any class past the mid 20's. The reason for that...I don't like grinding and found that to be the worst part of FFXI, the fact that to do anything in that game took a party todo was one of the major factors in my eventual quitting.

Now I'm not saying that I don't like partying, what I want is "options". I actually like collecting bear asses, I feel like I'm doing it for a reason when I've been specifically asked by a npc to do it. When I'm just grinding the same mob over and over just for a number to slowly tick over I just feel like I'm a frustrated park ranger with the ul'dah department of the interior culling the local marmot population because they've grown past a sustainable size( or a budding serial killer practicing on animals before I graduate to people).

Grinding is just that, grinding... Eventually it just gets old and I want to do something else.

Actually it should. During this whole time the game has been out, there has been multiple ways to rank up. I won't go through all the ways to rank up but one.

When leves were broken, where were you ranking up? Too lazy? Couldn't get off the forums to actually put some game time into a game you actually paid for.

If the people on here complaining with no 50's actually go and play the game for its positives and not its negatives, you might actually get somewhere. SE is not gonna hand you 50's on a silver platter even tho they did already and you just missed out.
