And there has to be more than just one option to gather EXP. That's about it.
I don't think I ever compared WoW and FFXI grinds in that statement other than the definition of grind. I was merely relaying a MMO resume to counter your ignorant blanket statement concerning 'dedicated gamers'. Those are the games I've played most recently, and played them very, very well.

Lets explore this a bit though. WoW actually attempted to kill the grind with unique quests as an alternate progression path while levelling, giving a proprotionate amount of experience points for completion. This worked out great honestly, although once you've done them once it becomes a bit of a (you guessed it) grind! If you are asserting MMO developers have never attempted to address the issue of 'grind' while levelling you are mistaken. Yet it always resurfaces.

Instead of saying there just needs to be an alternative, perhaps you could offer an example of one instead of making ridiculous 'People like you" statements.
