What's an acceptable grind rate currently?

As I said, I have no problem with grinding, it just isn't for me. I'd rather quest - and I have done each quest in the game at least twice. I moved four characters through DC areas and I will do it again.after you have done all the quests over and over and over and over ..... you might sing a different tune. I'm levelling so I have 4x ep vr16, one of each class, for pvp.
That's not the point though. I just don't think one shouldn't say "vet ranks are fine, XP gains are fine" based only on grinding rates.
Oh, that I agree with"Killing" pixels controlled by bad/scripted AI: Boring.
"Killing" pixels controlled by other Nerds: Fun.
Spending gold and crafting gear you will outlevel in a few hours: Nope
Spending gold and crafting gear for that sweet new v16: Awesome
This, in a nutshell, is why we grind.
Yeah, after 15 years of mmorphs all the quests feel like repeats with different text. Killing other players = not so repititve.Grinding isn't so bad it's kinda like watching a movie while folding clothes. Sure you'd rather not be folding clothes but once youre done you can put them on and go 《insert adventure here》1.7mio/hr is bout the top i have grinded with for weeks. 865k/hr is not bad for v5 but not that much. You could easily go over a million.
Not to be negative but I doubt this. I know on XB1 ALL grind spots were overloaded pre-IC with people wanting to max out characters before the release and get as much grinding done before it was all nerfed and it hasnt got much better after. Not only are placed overloaded now but with the increase in mob difficulty and the lowering of XP earned in popular grind spots I find it almost impossible to earn 1mil+ xp an hour. Can you provide a time stamp screenshot as @Faugaun has done with a date stamp and addon proof of the xp per hour? You can stare at a wall or whatever to not show the location, just want the proof.
@MikeB so not true, here's my xp per hour
Just because you don't know where good grinding is WITHOUT swarms of people doesn't mean they don't exist
That's beautiful.My new startup social network for Theorycrafting

Didnt say they did not exist, just said I find it hard to believe. There's also a huge difference between console and PC. Being Im on console a lot more people are still leveling than on PC and fill grind spots like flies on a turd.Edited by MikeB on October 2, 2015 2:53PM0 -

@MikeB it's the same for console and pc....the secret is never turning in quest so those flies are phased out for you
then you have your own private instance in quest areas 0 -

For me, alts. I've enjoyed the ride known as 'the game' three times already, I'll be damned if I do all of faction quests 8 times over. Also, some people don't like questing.UltimaJoe777 wrote: »What I don't get is why everyone is in such a hurry to hit max level...

Well sure I don't care to do the quests on my alts either but I am still in no hurry to reach max level as fast as possible. I mean there is more to "the game" than just questing after all.Edited by UltimaJoe777 on October 2, 2015 5:16PMGuildmaster of Power With Numbers in PS4 NA Server's Aldmeri Dominion.

Any hints as to the kind of quests we are talking about, everywhere imaginable is packed on ps4 atm and it's driving me to the point I'm getting up at 6 am just to get a couple hours peace before mass groupage arrives.0 -

Easily? No. I'd sooner quit the game than play like this. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against grinders, but it irks me when people use grinding XP rate as the baseline. This isn't how everyone imagines having fun.deadlock007 wrote: »LOL, and people are still complaining to get rid of VR when you can easily get 1 per hour.

Sure, like i dont understand people having fun with quests. It was just nice to adjust and max out the xp, cant do that without add ons.
btw sreenshots dont tell much cause of enlightment. got screens with 4mio/hr but doesnt say anything about the spot or setup :P i doubt that 2m/hr is possible. It could, but even the biggest grind spot i know is too small, like i said 1.8m was the best i could get.
