So help me understand this new end game grind better

Then. Stop. Playing. It.

Or offer suggestions, post it in the appropriate place, be part of the solution, not part of the problem. I'll agree that the game needs work, but to just come on here bitching about "what the game forces me to do" is just infantile and illogical.

It's not a QQ post to inform you of seems to elude you. Go mining, pick up a craft, make friends, work on your relic weapon. YES, you are going to have to do AK a few times to get some dungeon gear, and in the process some AF +1 and Darklight gear. Lord knows that when PVP comes out the same people will be here crying about how they have to grind all this crap to even compete with those that don't mind the grind.

The moral of the story is that this game is really no different in spirit than ANY other game of its kind EVER. You see the carrot, you fucking chase it, end of story.
