Agreed. That being said, i think it's pretty easy to see if the grind is worth the effort or not in most games. To me i deicide if a game is worth it or not by asking myself these 4 basic questions. I don't actually ask myself that, but it's my rules concerning mmo's.
1-Is the grind going to give me access to more features and stuff to do as i level?
2-Is the grind atleast somewhat entertaining?
3-Once the character is high level, do i get to the meat of the game?(PVP/PVE)
4-Most importantly was it worth investing x hours into?(Thats the most important one.)
If the answer is yes to the first 2 questions, i will atleast try the game. 3 and 4 will be different for everybody on every game.
The problem is that most mmo's on the market aren't even worth going to question 3 and 4. So yes, i did, do and will play mmo's. But to be honest i tried most of the mmo's out there, and there are only 3 i can say i really played.
Anyway, i'm not too harsh on games, i give anything a try, not only mmo's, even if a game gets a not so good review, i will give it a chance, but when i game is garbage, i won't force myself to play it. Most mmo's are garbage and i simply don't give them leniency because they are mmo's.
My 2 cents.
