wat can i say? its in my blood. i grew up playing final fantasy 1 and on and dragon warrior 1 and on and chrono trigger. all grindfests. its wat im into. this game is wat ur into and that's ok. i must play games that give experience per kill. and that's ok too.
i wouldn't call that too much work considering that the mmo i currently play i spend weeks in the same spot grinding the same monsters. im lvl 5,000+ so it takes me over 2billion xp to lvl now.
