I don't think it will be much difference from 1.0 really...There was lots of quests there too, and you could always do leves if you ran out of quests anyways.
you don't need to spam all quests constantly anyways, you can grind a little bit now and then, so you don't end up with a *no choice but to grind* later. you might wanna grind mobs for mats anyways.
i plan to go on global grind fest, make drop table So as long as you feel there's a purpose to grinding, aside just from boring repetitiveness, and being forced to do it; grinding isn't so bad. And the sooner you do all the grinding, the more you can safely return to questing, when the grinding gets annoying.
