I think the only people who really understand the term are the ones who lost ten or more hours per day in cruma tower back in C1 and then catacombs , LOA FOG etc ... if you don't know what the hell I'm talking about you probably never experienced true grind , and this is not a bad thing .
Well then it is safe to say you are burnt out with the mmo genre like I 1st posted,no offense but as it is a thread about what you find a grind is and you are basically saying every mmo then you have sort of proved my point.
Umm...this is kinda irrelevant, but whatever.
I'm not the least bored with this genre, even though I think MMOs in general always have grinds in them. I enjoy them a lot because I play with friends, and even mindless grinding can be fun.
Also, mob grind is really annoying, but I have no problem quest grinding, even solo.
So yea, I'm still enjoying MMOs, thank you!
EDIT: Actually, I even enjoy a bit of mob grinding, no problem. I don't play MMOs for the story/characters etc. that's what single player games are for.
Ok I made this post on AS and was good to see what other player's take was on grinding in mmo's and would be nice to hear your guys thought's,here is my original post... I have played mmo's for a while now and until recently grinding has been defined as having to grind mobs to lvl as there isnt enough content to lvl your guy.
Now reading some post's,not just on this forum but also on other's like mmorpg.com,grinding is now being defined as "having to do thing's to lvl up"I mean there are more than enough quest's that I have seen but still some player's are saying it is a grind.
Yes I will admit it is a slow lvling game but that doesnt constitute a grind.
My personal thought's are if you find doing quest's to lvl your guy a grind then maybe you are a bit burnt out with the mmo genre.
When I played AoC for example at release at come lvl 50 there were no quests to do and you basically found yourself a corner of the world to kill mobs for xp>lvl,then yes that was a grind but not doing quest's and progressing through the world.
Sorry having read so many thread's today about the so called grind I had to get that off my chest... http://www.aionsource.com/forum/general-discussion/16282-define-grinding.html Like I said would be nice to hear what you guy's think as I do feel if you are involved in the world and questing I really dont see it as a grind,just playing an mmo.
You don't understand, there aren't enough quests to level your character past level 25 in Aion. You have to grind the same quest over and over again. Grind = Repetition of some sort.

I don't care if I have to grind.
Grinding = Lots of mob to kill = Exp + Chance on rare loots.
Aka, you can level while getting better items than the average quests rewards.
