Getting bored of Grindfest and lack of people doing dungeons nowdays

[Drakeos]

Is there possible way to raise XP for dungeons and lower XP for FATE's so that people can ACUALLY do dungeons for XP >.> sick of waiting over 30 mins (anymore if afked boom kicked off to login screen)

You wait 30 mins not because people are not doing dungeons. In fact there are TONS of people doing dungeons. It's because there only so many people are wiling to take the responsibility of being a tank or a healer. So basically the entire servers waits their turn to play with a tank and heals.

This happens in all MMOs.

But grinding same FATE everytime isnt healthy and really puts me to sleep due to repetitive action over and over again

I made it from 1-40 with only needing to grind 3 or 4 Fates total. All I did was clean out all the quests and do what the game suggests. Between my hunting log, quests and dungeons (of which I only needed to do once. If I did them again it was because I enjoyed it) I have never felt the need to grind.


Now playing Lineage II, now that game was a grindfest. You killed mobs all day, without the help of a Fate system. And you either put up with it or you moved on.

This game is no grindfest. Just players who are to lazy to do a little bit of extra work to reach the next level. I get so tired of this mentality.

Its a new game. There is some trial and error involved before they can fix it. I'm sure adding more quests in for the late 30's and beyond is on their list. But they have bigger fish to fry with RMT sellers and server capacity issues.

I'm also getting sick of the grinders. Like Jaminos said, you can level up easily with the actual game content. You have quests, socializing, forming a stable and fun party, the effin main storyline, dungeons, guildleves and guildhests... but NO, people prefer to grind and repeat the same sheit like machine or a broken record. What the hell?! Why even buy the game if you are going to skip 80% of it? I wonder if those people will utilize ANY of the features that Square is planing for the future, like housing, card games or chocobo races.

Heh... Why should they, if they can just GRIND. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoJE3slQR4s

Am I the only one that gets creeped out by the grinders? I mean, how much more obsessive compulsive you can get? Sometimes it looks almost fanatical... JEEZ...

Think about the people who lvl their second class with no quests and Main Story...
Its all about park in the middle of the map, yell "LFG FATES" and then ride&sapp your ae

Somehow I doubt you can run out of quests, guildleves, guildhests and dungeons before you hit 50. I mean, I have no problem with FATE's themselves it's a nice mechanic that spices up the environment. But doing nothing but one thing for a week, or a whole MONTH is just plain disturbing for me.

If you buy the game then you play the whole of it. You don't buy a basketball just to throw it at the wall. It would be like playing Sid Meier's Civilization, yet doing nothing but spawning barbarian squads and ignoring every other aspect of the game.

I know that the goal of grinding is to hit 50 in a week or something, but do people seriously call this FUN? If it's not fun then why do they do it? And if you hit 50, then what? Make another char and grind all over? Grind another class "till all are 50"? There even is no PVP yet, but even if there was then you still skip 70% of the game.

That becomes a choice. Not a forced mechanic of the game. You can always create a new character and you will have all your quests at your disposal.

Anyone know if the cap will be raised from 50? I'm level 36 but just wondering. I also hope they have more dungeons planned and a difficulty system so we can make them harder. This will be nice for the old dungeons.

Say I wanna do Sastasha at level 30 but I cant cuz its stuck at level 15 or something.

Wait what??? Isn't this essentially the exact thing you are wanting to do but replace FATE with the word DUNGEON?? It's all a "grind" just disguised different ways :/
