The fact that it is more efficient to mindlessly AoE grind mobs for hours on end in order to level faster is pretty stupid.
Obviously they want people to play through the game enjoying the storylines but they're literally shooting themselves in the foot by making AoE mob grinding indefinitely faster than questing.
Why not just increase the exp from quests? It's really frustrating for me because I want to enjoy the quests but I also strive to get to end game, pvp, etc. as fast as possible.
So I'm wanting to do the quests and experience the beautiful world but at the same time I want to give all that up and just hit mobs all day since it's faster.
I don't think this is a good thing....
