Grinding treadmill

A variety type of different quest types would be a good start.

Quests are a grind.

Defensive quests would be fun. Protect location z for x amount of minutes

Sounds like more grinding.

Retrieval quests / treasure hunts. Find an artefact and bring it to the npc. Maybe the artefact is protected by a boss or strong monsters.

Sounds like more grinding. If you don't think BOSS fights are a grind, you have not fought a BOSS

Seek n Destroy quests - go assassinate the evil wizard (just an example) or bandits are intercepting the supply of [whatever] to hurns go stop them. Something like that.

Sounds like more grinding.

Have more spin off quests that follow a story that people can be captivated by and pulled into. Make the majority of exp gained by completing quests and not mindless grinding.

It sounds less like you have a problem with grinding than you do with a lack of quests. You are always free to join the DEV and assist with scripting up new and exciting quests.

What method of progressing in an MMO would you not define as grinding, Cotillion?

I don't know of a single MMO that doesn't consist mostly of grinding, and yet they remain extremely popular.

I have no problem with grinding.

I have a problem with people complaining and not stepping into assist with the work.

There is a difference between complaining and suggesting obviously you have a problem distinguishing between the two.

If I had a problem with grinding I wouldn't play this game. Crush stated he didn't want the game to come across as a grinding treadmill I offered my suggestions on what I thought could help achieve this. Get it? or is that still too much for you to comprehend?

See I can be an arrogant ******* too

Next time i will wait 10 min for the trolls to jump on and the thread has 20 "yeah we need more quests" before I post my reply.

I'm actually going to do my own HC-grinding oriented gameplay proof of concept server I hope some of the fans of Korean MMO grinders will find fun. I've had the server sided data done for a while now, but I honestly cannot be arsed to tweak the client sided data. If someone would be willing to help me with the chore of a lot of repetitive and boring XML work, I could get this thing going finally.

If anyone is interested, the PMs on the forums should work. Let's not derail a derail originated fork.
