ARR class progression

I get it..... Games have to evolve, change and grow. All leves (yuck), xp questing (WOWish), xp dungeons (cool), FATE (can't wait), but why take away xp grinding. I know xp grinding is an old form of lvling, but I personally enjoy it. It in my opinion is what created bonds in FFXI and FFXIV. I'm not questioning the other forms of leveling. My only concern is why punish xp grinding.

They didn't "take it away." It is just not the primary means. If that is what you are interested in doing, go right ahead, it's still viable.

tl;dr of SE's statement regarding this: "It's inefficient to grind on monsters."

SE flatout stated it's inefficient compared to everything else especially doing a mix of things but they said you can't progress doing monster grinding. When something is inefficient why would you do it? You can still do it, but why would you when it won't actually help much?
