I completely agree with the author. The reason some people think this game still is a grind is because mythic starts us off so fast and we never want to get off the fast track.
As a hardcore mmoger, I've realized how much content i've missed 'grinding'. So yes, I can get to lvl 25 within a few days, but I miss out trying all the different scenarios, taking keeps, getting my t2, t3 sets, instances and PQ (i do pure pvp grind - khaines embrace t1, mourkains temple t2 and tor anoc t3).
Having said that, I would like to point out to all the hardcore gamers complaining that there is still a grind that you're bullshit. We all have the option of slowing down and really appreciating the time the devs have put into the game, but if ur like me and don't want to, then its ur own problem. Any mmog that has a lvling system where u want to beat everyone to the cap will seem like a grind no matter how they make it.
