I would almost have to agree with the guy. The lack of a grind makes this game short term. Granted, grinds are preceived as bad, but they also give you a reason for doing some of the stuff (questing, etc.)
I think the major problem that contributes to the short termness of the game is lack of item variety. Of course Anet would like to keep the game balanced, etc. But they can add balance with variety. The best mod to have on just about any weapon is +15% dam>health 50%, regardless of what weapon. So the grind is to get a weapon of some sort with this. But this is relatively easy to obtain, not like the elusive Wind Force of Diablo2, etc.
I hope I made these points clear enough, but I'll clearify more if need be.
