I think people talking about the "grind" are missing the point.
EVERY MMO has a grind. Some more, some less, but it's the nature of the beast.
In Blade and Soul, however, there is ONLY the grind. Grind thru quests to level; grind dailies for gold; grind Arena for beans. All of this to upgrade your weapon/shields so you can grind some more.
But what about other game systems?
Housing? Nope
Crafting? Are you kidding me?
AH/Economy "game"? Trade one or two item types, but what's the point if you can just buy gold with your credit card?
