The game grind will hopefully be solved when they implement extra xp for having your freinds,formation members, and brigade members on the same map. I saw this on the game forums, the GM's were talking bout this. Alot were raving on how the grind would be cut in half for a brigade, as they could just send freindies to each other and get all the bonuses. Not sure when they're gonna implemet them, I'll check those forums again.
