well, I have seen both sides of the coin now. from opening day of teva server to a couple weeks ago i only got to level 28 on my archer. but since about last friday, i've gotten to level 23 on my fighter.

thats mostly because besides my core group of friends on Apoline server, i don't really know anyone so if they aren't on i resort to either farming or grinding (quests are boring as hell and give the worst payouts ever before level 30, and i already have a fame mule that just does repeat quests)

Now i can say there is a certain fun element to grinding (especially when its not alone) so some people might enjoy the game differently than you.

Although nothing beats goofing off in town. talking to people, playing hide and seek (that was the most fun i've had on fiesta ever), watching guild wars, perusing the shop for awesome discounts, etc.
