I have now realized the benefit of "the grind."
Hello,
I hate to say it, but I have now realized the benefit of "the grind."
I have been thinking recently that I would like to fart around in a game with a giant chatroom while slowly accomplishing some silly goal.
In warcraft, you can do something like mine. Or kill ogres for your talbuk mount.
While doing so, you can chat with randoms. Enlighten them, troll them, learn from them, get angry at them.
If I am all engrossed in my storyline quests and immediately jumping into instances with *optional* friends in my group, then there is no chatroom.
At the same time, I despise being forced to grind in order to level. I rage quit Rift because it took too long to level. If you think Rift was too easy to level up, I don't care and you are wrong.
