Quest Grinding, You Are in Denial

Have MMOs really evolved by simply replacing a mob grind with a quest grind? In the end, a grind by any other name is still a grind.

Quest Grinding, You Are in Denial

"The key, in my view, is to provide multiple, alternate paths to character advancement and development. When someone wants to grind mobs, they can. When someone wants to do quests, they can. When someone wants to defend or assault bases (Tabula Rasa had a brilliant implementation of this), they can. When someone wants to PvP, they can. The holy grail is to create these different ways to advance and develop a character and make them available to people at all times (or nearly all times). The sooner we realize that as developers, the better."

There's a game that you can grind mobs at quest.. but it's old game... Some times you will realize that system will get you bored.. I want the game that you can get experience in pvp as well... :pint:

Warhammer had that.

Sadly, it went in the crapper.

Your best best fortunately or not is World of Warcraft. Play on a PvP server. Participate in battlegrounds for PvP action as you are leveling. And...you always have the chance for that random PvP encounter. There are always people on my server. It's a lot of fun. I just started too.
