Everyones excuse it seems for ending farming is that it is a grind.Myself and a good many others do not consider it a grind at all.What i consider a grind is standing in HoH for hours trying without success to get a team,because of the perception that only monks, warriors, and eles are any good.Start a new character you say, why should i the game is supposed to be about balance.Its supposed to be a PvP game you say not about PvE at all.Hogwash i say,if it were only about PvP we woulnt need a storyline and vast exploreable areas.If it were ment to be only PvP all you would need is template toons create one and go bash someone.In short before you start saying this is a PvP game only try thinking.

Anyone that says this is PvP only is insaine. You have to PvE to unlock runes and weapons in order to be any good.

Only PvP when the PvE part is 50-100 hours and can be played with 6 different characters. Yeah right.
I've only played PvE for now and have put some 70 hours in it. Not a single minute wasted.

Hey, ANet has done a great job making PvE players think the game is about them too. I mean, if they ever admitted that the entire PvE campaign was just a protracted tutorial for PvP, they'd lose a bunch of players.
