Well, I didn't then, never before and still do not like grinding in
ANY form in ANY game.
I look at a game like SWG or EQ2 or UO or any of those offewring a
virtual world as actually living in that world. It's an extension of
your life.
If you grind in your real life.... you burn out quickly. You cannot
sustain that level of activity indefinatly. Eventually you crash and
change your life. Same with the games. The trick to sustained
involvement in a game, and in real life for that matter, is finding
yourself a niche and filling it. It gives you a purpose for being
wherever you are. Without a purpose for being there, you won't stay
for long.
