Forget about that the game being fun or entertaining, it should feel like you're clocking int to a job, right? Put it your hours repeating the same mindless mundane tasks.

Until content is abundant and exceptionally engaging, months of grinding just doesn't make sense.
So according to your logic we should all start at 50, right? Because what I'm hearing is grinding has no place in the game, so might aswell skip it.

Grinding is supposed to be a timesink. Its not about bragging. Its about having players differentiate from each other so we can all bring in something different to the group play, which won't happen if we all have everything leveled.
