i personally like grinding. it may be slower than plvling all the way to 80, but you get to see a lot more of the game and you learn alot about how to play your character. its also a great way to make friends

some times when i'm bord in game its fun to grind a lil

first post FTW

grinding for items, yes, grinding to lvl, no. I rather go find a party group.

i didnt mean solo grinding, could be in a group or alone, just anyway of grinding. i prefer parties as long as the people in the party know what their doing

Very relaxing.

Grinding with bots and/or lag is tedious.

yea, i like grinding. it's nice to just sit back and listen to some music for 3 hrs everyday killing stuff =]

grind with lifeless kser bots or...? Plz be specific.

+1

Game is great when there is no lag and bots..Incredibly relaxing too..

i used to like grinding... but now its just boring... killing the same mobs 1000 times over and over again... maybe its cause im lvl80.. lvl 52-60 was fun

Party grinding is the shit.
Only time i liked solo was when i was lvl 72 blader in nachals alone. Endless kills.....

Not Really..but I do it anyways because I am motivated for something I get at the new level..pretty much each level there is something waiting for you. I <3 new degree levels.

I don't know what you mean, since I haven't made friends in the game it's pretty much a solo game, especially for Chinese characters.

So, the only thing I can do is grind.

NO i do not like grinding thats why i grinding from 1-16 then like 30% total from 16-54...
other then that i got plvled.

Only parties for me, otherwise i feel like not soloing.

I like grinding. I think I liked it more with my Bow than with a Warrior because there were so many different skills and it was more diverse, but euro party grinding makes up for that a lot.

I used to put Cypress Hill's "Cock the Hammer" on repeat and grind for hours. (no homo)

Grinding on girls-Yes
Grinding on sro-no

Yup, only party grinding.

I love it, i love grinding...it's like a sex. You just repeat same moves, over and over...then you change your position, just to make grinding time not so boring. And when you finish, maaan...it feels so good.

only party
even though i kind of enjoy solo grinding

Yeah, I do, when warriors are efficient. And I like solo grind too, except when pt mobs randomly appear.

Sometimes, with no bots and ppl ksing and plenty o mobs around its nice to just grund abit with some good music ;d.

I accidentally voted yes, but I meant no.

That means your hands like to grind...but your mind doesent.


sorry

I used to like it, but the lack of mobs do to bots is one of the reasons I quit

Grinding from time to time on a Chinese char was nice..And I somehow like to grind for other people (Chinese too)..

On my own char I don't feel like spending like an hour to find a good pt and when I solo I somehow die atleast once every 30 minutes, so no, I don't like grinding.

PS: When I had a premium on my old Chinese char, I just couldn't wait untill I was done with an hour grinding so I could take a lil break.(Grinded in intervals of 1 hour duh)..In the end I wasted like 2 or more weeks from it.. I suck at grinding : )

When I played WoW I found it easier to grind. Running town to town and talking to people takes too much time. I rather sit in a zone for a couple hours and kill endlessly, watching a movie in windowed mode or something.

Let's just say:

Party Grind, if you have like a quest that requires a certain amount of mob kills to be completed, this way even tough you could be getting a less xp/sxp than grinding alone, you can finish of the quest and get the reward quicker, of course you have to make the party Item Auto Share (yeah yeah i know that you could be not recieving that weapon elixir you hoped to get but believe me it's worth it). For Euro people, it's essential to party grind, because only this way you can bring out the full potential of what European Character is.

Example: Yesterday i grinded with my fellow guildmates in Cave killing lvl 64 mobs. Our party had:
1 Warrior (EU)
1 Cleric/Wizard (EU)
1 Glavier (Ch)
1 Bard/Rogue (EU)
1 S/S Nuker (Ch)
1 Cleric (EU)
And me Spear Nuker (CH)

And this is how it worked, since we were in party we had lot of party mobs spawning constantly. Our warrior uses his Dmg absorption buff on the lowest HP person, it was me =), im not surprised. While he runs around party mobs using his Mob calling skills that gets the attention of all the mobs around his area, he gathers up a tons of party mobs. While he gets covered by them, the Glavier comes and Tanks with our Warrior, making sure our Warrior is not too much pushed to the limit. Now, remember we all have Str/Int Phy/Mag defence buffs and lots of other buffs from Bard too, so our Tanker is real hard stone and can handle tons of damage, whilst Bard's dmg increase buffs make us, the nukers and wizards, make tons of damage in short time. Party grinding can be really fun and quick way to lvl up when you have the right people in the group. Probably we were killing 10 party mobs in about every 10 - 15 sec!! We killed for an hour and a half, every1 was satisfied with the result they got. Finally, there are people who just slack of and don't do their part in grinding and just get the xp that you sweated your finger for...simply kick them. I was friend with cleric guy when i was lvl 51 grinding at Penon, and yet still we grind together, we both lvl up, we both grind, we both enjoy a different way of teamwork and killing.



P.S: I sometimes grind alone for an hour hoping for a drop of weapon or item =P...you know the feeling people when you are killing a giant mob!!!

Fesho to grinding.

Not to rain on your parade Jescar..But lots of other buffs from bard, and dmg increase buffs from bard? How can you get lots of other buffs (only phy or mag dmg absorp or hit ratio increase, speed, mana cycle), and dmg increase buffs with 1 bard? AFAIK you need 2 bards for that xD
