grind-(gr ie n d):
1. To play a MMO for countless hours doing a simple task such as killing easy monsters to level up slowly.
2. To ruin your mental state by having no contact with other human beings doing menial tasks.

Killing easy mobs?! i've always thought grinding as killing mobs at ur lvl or higher.. for no purpose... (like not for quest and stuff).... =/

Lulz. I have totally done the second one.

*Brain oozes out my ear*

xD

Anyways, when I was getting to level 30 during the x4 EXP event Steam had going I just got a Cleric friend of mine and we grinded at Burning Hill for about an hour or so. Then we headed to Moonlight Tomb. I probably shouldn't have wasted my time in Moonlight Tomb. I probably could've just hit Collapsed Prison and went up to level 35 or something. But grinding is so boring especially when no one is talking. Gotta have some sort of human interaction to keep yourself going.

it sucks even worse when you're duo-ing/partying and no one else is talking. you try to make light talk and realize the chat is all you.

I always feel kinda silly when i see that.

Yeah, i've done that before. I don't understand why people can't just make some light conversation from time to time during a long grind-fest. I dislike those kinda people and try to stay from them. >.>

Oh, of course! But thats the only exception. Besides, people might not like it when you're just sitting there chatting away, getting smacked by a mob and not grinding. :P

I know whats worse then partying were ur the only one talking,
Partying with 4 other people (girls in my case, but doesnt have to be)
who are having "Girl Talk" in their own made up language.
Happened just today when i was partying with 4 Iyslan_Girls Guild members,
one moment having a nice conversation
next, here them saying things like "tagaka ake magze shorte albe (when they say that i get most freaked out) aoge" or things like that.
But that was not a very fun experience on my part, I did gain 50% all the way to the next lvl though, so i guess it worked well.

PS: Albe= japanese form of Albeir my IGN but i couldnt recognize any jap words....
am i just being paranoid (i dont think so lol)
