Grinding is a method used by companies that forces players to continue playing because it requires a large amount of time to reach max level, and since it takes so long they are forced to pay monthly or quit. This method is a really easy way to make money, and since that is the goal when you make an MMO that is why grinding is so common.
NCsoft has relied on grinding in the past, pumping out lots of MMOs in short periods of time so that they can keep herding MMO fans unto the next game. I hope this wont be the case for Aion, and it doesn't seem to be.
I'm sure what I've said has been said before, but I'm not in the mood to read 22 pages.

this is still why i keep asking if people mean grind as in hack and slash repetitive play, or grinding as in it takes a long time to do something. Lvling up in WoW is obviously more fun overall than L2, but anyday of the week I'd rather do 2 hours of grinding than 2 hours of questing....I just would rather do 2 months of questing to hit end game than 1 year of grinding.
