MMO like Eden Eternal
Hiho 
I played and loved Eden Eternal for some time with my friends, but as they upped the max Level again and again and made the grind even worse I quit.
But even now I have to admit that the gameplay and graphics are something I haven't met in other games.
I hated EE for being "unfair" (Crafting System was horrible when you reached Endgame) and senseless timesink. ("Kill 40 Mobs A, 30 Mobs B and 50 Mobs C" was a Quest that I did about 100 times.)
What am I searching? A Game that is like EE, but more like it was in the first ~40 Levels.
Would be awesome to get some help with this
Greetings

Anybody?
If the post isn't clear enough what I am searching I will try to make it that way.
The Good Things about EE
1. The Art Style
If there is one thing that I LOVE about this game then it would be the graphics. Why? Because they are cute. Really cute. And I love Animes, so...
2. Combat
Fluid, well written and team-based Combat that can be aplied in Soloing as well. How the hell , could I dislike that? Most of the time I play either tank or Illusionist and loved both. Mostly Illusionist because you could deal a heavy damage AND support your team (Mostly with Mana and Atack-/Cast-Speed-Buffs).
I played the game with a very good friend of mine and the combining of Skills and everything else felt good. But even so solo-play was enjoyable was well, which is pretty rare for such a "grind heavy" Game.
3. Community
F2P-Games have bad communities? Not this one. There were always people that could help you. (Mostly because they were bored or had already reached everything...^^)
The Guilds that I belonged to were awesome as well.
Of course there were some... not so nice people as well, but compared to League of Legends for example those were the Best Friends you could ever find. (Played LoL for about 2 years and still do
)
The Bad Things about EE:
1. The Grind
This one is not that bad at first, but it got annoying in the later levels. If you wanted to go about 50 you had to grind 3 to 4 hours nonstop for one level. Thats just fucked up. I really love playing much and I had fun because I played with a friend, but god damn it was that part hellish.
(Don't get me wrong, I don't mind grind if it is okay or to reach the Ultra-R0XX0R-Mega-Weapon of the Game. But to reach the max Level you have to grind like hell? Not questing, Grinding? Thats not okay, it's bad game design.)
2. Late Game Crafting
Well... I thought to myself "Okay, now that I am at max. Level I will try to farm some hours and then craft me some good equip. It wasn't the best (For that you had to farm Dungeons and Fame, or was it only one of those? Can't remember it.) gear, but it was good. And it was so good that you could farm well for your other class-points.
But you know what? When you craft 7 Items and 2 are done successfully then something is wrong. (The rate was at 35% I think.) I grinded for the gold that I needed to craft those things pretty heavy and after that I was like "Really? Oh fuck this shit." and stopped playing the game.
3. End Game
Maxing Class-Levels. You are a Tank and leveld as one? But you can play as a Sorcerer as well!
Farming Equip. Well... yeah....
PvP. That Part was interesting I have to admit. But only if you had a guild that actually did the battlegrounds seriously. But you know what? Those were nearly only Guilds that had a huge Mass of Players so they could contest the places of the best. Thats just boring and nothing that is fun after you did it some times.
Grinding Fame. I hate the word "Grind" myself because it is used the wrong way very often. But you know what? This was Grinding. Doing the same thing over and over again thousands of times. I hate such things.
I loved EE for being a simplistic, but really good MMO until I got about level 40. Then it got worse more and more. That really is a shame. Now it only is a cow that aeriagames is milking like Blizzard is WoW.
I would love to play a game that is like this, but I can't seem to find one. I tried Spirit Tales for example, but well... the combat was REALLY boring. The idea is nice, but it was horribly easy. Way too easy. (Played until about Level 23.)
I would appreciate any help
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

Mabinogi is a good suggestion or you may also like http://www.playragnarok2.com/
I gave up on EE for the same reason, grind = boredom = game killer!
Thanks a lot for the suggestions
Already downloading Hero of the Obelisk
I think I'll try Ragnarok 2 as well. The rest... I don't know. Most of them don't seem too much like what I am searching for, but I'll try them if I have the time to do so.
