I'm on Aether though, so maybe it's a server group thing. I haven't run EX since DSO dropped so tank LB may the new Meta, but it's definitely not there in the first month.

Yes there are the occasional bad days, but overall it's not unpleasant. In fact, I have habbit of running EX well into the hundreds, I think I have like 200+ on most of the SB's EX and some of the Shadow Bringer, and 100+ on Zod and Hydaline. The important point is "mentality". I go into these fights under multiple reasons, not a singular "getting the mount":

- I like the fight.
- Way to help cap my tome for the week.
- Way for me to practice alt classes. (This is important because it keeps the fight fresh).
- Way for me to get easy good weapon.
- Way for me to get totems toward the mount. (It's just one of the many reason, not THE reason)

That's why I grind yet doesn't feel like a grind. I never go into the EX when I don't want to but feel like I have to. Yet in the long run, my progress is no less advance then the people force it on themselves (then complain).

With 4 active alts I probably play more than most people, but my mentality is always think about the fun first. It's a game people, it only becomes a job because you turn it into one.
I apologize for deriving enjoyment (and F U N) from good gameplay and having standards beyond "has a pulse" for my teammates.
