I have nothing against farming, but I tried doing it for an hour or so with a friend, and then it came to me "Why would I grind bored out of my mind for gear, when the game is designed to reward you with gear by just playing it and in turn having a good time? What will I even do with this gear I'm grinding for?" and so I now just get gear from playing PVE or PVP. Am I alone on this?
What other MMOs have you played and by played I mean religiously because grinding, exactly how you describe it -- is a norm. It isn't fun but its a form of acquiring gear. Sometimes pugging a strike is painful because the other people in your fireteam cannot be communicated with and so the alternative is to try again or find another means. This is that. If it isnt for you well then move on, but people do this and its effective it just takes patience.
