    Disagree leveling with other people (group grinding) should be the most efficient way to level your character.

    Generic questing should be there for people who like that kind of stuff solo, but if you do not give incentive for people to group (recognizing the work it takes to put together a party like Yoshi eluded to) then people simply won't bother with it.

    The unfortunate truth is for the 1% of MMO players who claim that "games should be about having fun and just doing what you enjoy" the other 99% of players do what is efficient. If that is grouping then they will group (unless they are unable to in which case they will solo), if that is questing solo then everyone will do that. So really only one option (favoring grouping) gives 2 real options, the other absolutely destroys the viability of one in favor of the other.

    I think people seem to think I'm soley for solo play as the best way to level up, and I'm not. I just want to make that clear.

    Group ranking should be the fastest and most efficient, but I'm here to say let's not make mindless monster grinding in parties the best and only way to level up in a party.

    Mindless? How about if you don't want it to be mindless simply remove the r10+ limit on mobs we grind on. There is nothing wrong with grinding, it is an RPG that is what you do in an RPG. There are other things to do as well, and they can continue adding those in for people who want to change it up but grinding mobs in a group should in my opinion remain the primary form of efficient leveling.

    What's actually mindless is everything else that MMO's have come out with to replace it as a means of leveling (including FFXI).
