I'm not sure how this game feels "less grindy" than most MMORPGS, but I'm starting to find it tiring. I found myself struggling to keep up with the story, because I barely kept up with the lvl requirements. Now, I'm trying to reach lvl 30 and it's been a bit tedious. I spent my time on Hunting Logs most of the time, which might be what's making it's hard atm. Going across the map to look for certain enemies isn't very fun. It's also been hard to find quests/FATES that are on my lvl. Even if I do them, they only provide so much EXP. Leveheists are only good until I reach that lvl block
