I see a lot of people complaining about the grind that comes with MMORPG's. Guess what? FFXI required far more ridiculous grinds and not even the 30% had their Relic weapon. All Im seeing here is people complaining that things are so difficult to obtain, this is not some console game where immediate gratification is allowed. Although we are in the era were the new breed of gamers complain because content requires actual skill.

What skill? I don't see any skill being required to complete a grind, just lots and lots and lots of patience. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you're not right about grinds. It's an MMO. Grinding for content is kind of the trademark of the genre. We should expect and embrace the grind, but to think that some level of "skill" is required to run the same thing 100 000 times over is silliness incarnate.

Also, a note on the grind itself: it should be there, of course. Grinds separate the committed players from the casual players, and those with patience and are willing to put in the time and effort should be rewarded.... but they could at least make the grind entertaining. This is an MMO, yes, but an MMO is still a game. Games, by definition, are meant to be enjoyable.
