There is nothing wrong with grinding, it is an RPG that is what you do in an RPG.
I agree, it is necessary to a certain extent.

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.
Okay well I see what you're saying and you know where I stand on the matter. Now I just wanna know why grinding mobs in a group feels most fitting as the primary means of leveling. There are plenty of other RPGs, offline and online, I feel I could do this exact same task so it's hard for me to see where you're coming from.
