Why should I be excited for Grind Parties?
Grinding is always been part of MMORPG thing, its the primary way of leveling. eventho its tiresome most of the time, i found FFXI grind party, old skool SC party to be interesting..

those who hate grinding probably got their MMO virginity broken by WoW's talk to npc A, talk to npc B, talk to npc A *10,000exp*!!!

Go do some actual work and learn your job instead of practicing NPC chatting skills.

last thing i want is:

Mage: Ah! im getting hit, Gladiator! Provoke!!
Gladiator: oh... thats what is used for!!? im sorry, i just talk to npc and atk mobs.

*im exaggerating obviously :P*
