Guild Wars 2

All this grinding has taken a lot of the fun out of the game. All the gated content and the grinding required to unlock it just becomes no fun after awhile. The game is not hard it has just become so time consuming and not in a fun way. I feel bad for the casual players.

Not sure what game you are playing but I have not had to grind in 3 yrs and I have been playing the expansion just fine with no grinding and getting lots of xp to get the masteries up.

You’re right man, I’ve been doing a lot of grinding too in order to unlock the next mastery to continue the story. It’s getting a bit sad and ridiculous, especially when the only way to get the exp efficiently is to farm the events. Only bright side is that we only have to do this once, then never again.

Whenever Anet released new content I never felt “The Grind” until a few weeks after it was out. Even in silverwastes which is the literately the same sequence of events over and over with no variation at all didn’t feel grindy until about a month and half in.

The fact that “The Grind” can be felt by most players already and it’s barely been two days is a very, very bad omen for GW2.
