You will refine your actions and movement during the grinding sessions.
This is what anti-PL crusaders actually believe.

The truth is that no part of grinding in this game requires enough skill to learn anything. A lot of jobs you could successfully level 1-50 just by running up to mobs, switching to active mode, and waiting for auto-attacks to kill them. You can throw in a few weapon skills if you want to speed things up since pressing a weapon skill button isn't exactly a "skill". Yes, it'd be a little slower than knowing how to play your class to its fullest, but the fact that our baseline for "skill needed to hit level 50" is this low means the extra abilities employed by people to speed it up don't actually need to be performed skillfully to succeed.

The solution is simple. Make actual skill barriers in leveling beyond 50 when the cap is increased. Until then, let's stop pretending that PL'd players are missing out on some kind of learning experience. The people who learn how to play are the people who actually read the descriptions of their abilities.

No, I wasn't PL'd, and I can almost guarantee that I put vastly more time into grinding than anyone here who's complaining about PL. If you're a reasonably decent player, the fact that the leveling process had nothing to do with making you a good player would be obvious to you.
