I'm like level 12 now and yeah...I still feel like this type of grind doesn't work in this game.

All it does is give you carpal tunnel constantly killing over and over of the same mobs.

It was ok in FFXI cause the combat was slower, but eh...

I'm still in there doing it though because I am afraid if I don't at least get close to max level then I'll be left behind if I ever did need something from there. I also maybe want to try to complete a relic.

I'm doing the content, but I'm not really enjoying it. It is boring waiting for NMs to spawn and especially if it is at a higher level NM where I can't really help kill mobs because I'm too weak...I end up just helping with raises and playing my 3DS.

As for EXP grinding it is also boring...and causes hand cramps etc too much spam over and over for long periods of time.

The only entertaining thing about being in there is just laughing when people get rekt by mobs lol and/or watching the NM train choo choo into level 17 mobs and then seeing like 10-20 players get cleaved and die in a pile lol...honestly SE should have given monsters Achievements cause that deserves a "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" achievement for the monster lol "Kill 20 players with one attack"
