I hope Aion has the same difficulty/time sink as FFXI (never played L2, so I can't use that as an example), but it can all be done by soloing. I don't mind it taking 6+months to reach max level, as long as I don't have to stand in town for 3 hours seeking >_<. I like large solo grinds, because it creates a divider between the newcomers and the experienced players. I hated how in Guild Wars you could play for 2 years, and some random guy will play for 1 month and have the same stats, armor, and level as you. IMO it's crucial to have the experienced players getting more benefits, as it provides the lowbies with a reason to level up.
WoW was way on the other end of the spectrum, and I hated it. You get to 70 in 1 1/2 - 2 months, and theres 6 millions other poeple that are that level as well. Mind you, the gear grinding in WoW is rediculous.
