The grind is not much at all. I went from 1-20 in two days of very casual play. You'll be able to hit max beta level (somewhere in the 30's) just over one weekend.
Ok if you think Tera is a grind stop playing mmorpgs period. If Tera is a grind every other mmorpg and most rpg would feel like a grind thus you should find other genre to play.
I got 1-32 in one day, I am by no means a casual, but still, 1-32 in one day can not make it grindy in the context you are referring to can it?
I mean in this time I had to clear my quest log completely twice and even skipped a zone I outleveled.
It`s not as bad as Aion because you don`t actually run out of quests and it`s also faster in my opinion, plus you`ve got a decent amount of dungeons to do if you want, well see how the dungeons are spread out when the game releases since currently Ktera has 7 58 dungeons and EME said they would shift them around.
I wonder if EME is going to tweak the xp anymore? Progression is great but you don't want to miss too much content lol.
I'm starting a fresh toon this weekend and am going to try an "old school" approach. I'm only going to do the story quests and any side quests that have nice rewards. For the first 10 levels this might not work well but my hope is that it will do a few things.
1. I'll actually read the limited quests I'm doing. 2. I'll get to the better rewards quicker. 3. Once I'm 20+ I can group grind with the xp cap space and not out-level my questing 4. I'll always be fighting tougher mobs and the challenge will be fun.

We'll see how well it works.
Just not worth my time anymore.
Leveling in Tera goes very fast. it starts to slow down a bit around 30th, but i don't think it feels grindy at all.
