I don’t think you understand what that term actual means.
Most of the grind has been removed from the game already. It’s actually getting into a really good spot after the addition of legendary scraps and the fact that they are not Bound on Pickup. (You can basically buy an extra 5 gypsum orbs per day with gold off the market now) Just buying all the scraps instead of getting them from salvaging costs about 4k gold on my server. I am finally interested in leveling the expertise on my alt after all of the recent changes. Once they fix the bug where it isn’t giving the correct bumps, it should be very easy to get to 600 expertise.

I never said New World was the grindiest MMO ever. I said New World’s is close to some of the grindiest MMO Grinders.
Leveling weapon masteries is a BIT time consuming but it isnt grindy at all. And if you want to make serious cash then i dont understand how studying the market is bad? And to be clear - i dont mean relentlessly sitting there and writing down the average prices of each item lmao, just the ones you want to profit off of. Currently i mainly make money off of cutting gems and gemstone dust, i can make 10k-50k an hour depending on demand. Stop complaining and get to work. Buy orders are your best friend

I agree. Game is ridiculous easy, way to easy in my personal opinion.
Some ppl want New World as MMO game to reach to the point when ppl can login once every 3 months, do few clicks then go and kill all ppl who they wish to. After they get bored to kill everybody they will quit for few more months, idiots like me will keep playing everyday. Then when they are bored in other game(s) they are playing, just return in New World and kill all again.
Gold is easy as fck to get:
270g or so first 3 Faction Missions - 700g+.
Gather Bags, 3 everyday - 200-500g (now we have 11 bags from event that generate even more gold).
1k gold from first Expedition/Elite run.
1k-2k daily for Cooldowns (this might be option, but now its easier to lvl up).
360g-720g from first 2 OPR per day for Gypsum.
Basically any mob u kill generates some gold, u can do it while skinning or whatever.
All beginning raw materials are sellable easy and fast, u can start make profit from lvl 10 by cutting trees, mining mines, stones, skinning animals, etc
I dont think there is any game that gives gold so easily and from everything, except Arena (but even from Arena u can generate gold from PvP Track rewards).

You don’t even need that. You can do 2 level25 major portals and get the 2 bags. You can even save up the breech caches so you can just open 2 to get your 1k without having to actually play that day.
There are lots of options of things to do and not much “forced daily content” (missing some gypsum/shards isn’t the end of the world) so I don’t see NW as “grindy”.

Was that a typo? Did you say 15 000 hours?
That is the equivalent of a full time job for over 8 years (5 days a week, 12 months a year), just to stay competitive.
No wonder MMORPGs’ playerbases are collapsing and the genre becoming less and less popular.
This generation has seen their purchasing power reduced by almost 50% compared to previous generations. Some people have to take multiple jobs and still can’t afford buying a home.
Are you telling me that is normal that you need to spend the equivalent to a part-time job or even a full time job in a stupid game doing repetitive tasks in order to have a chance?
Clearly, the concept of MMORPGs that you like is then aimed at people who doesn’t need to work for a living, who have no lives, or both at the same time, then.
If AGS wants to get more players for their game, then they know what must be done: stop catering to the no-lifers who can waste 1/3 of their lifespan grinding for digital crap.
No. Maybe he has a life he needs to work for, a family to spend time with, and healthy sleeping habits he needs to maintain.

NW isn’t grindy at all OP, not within MMORPG genre. Its not MOBA or FPS game.
hard agree.
Whoever thinks a grind is too hard I invite you to farm a legendary set with weapons for your character in GW 2 xD
Dude did you ever playd any other mmo? This game is nowhere as grindy as most other mmo - old ones or new ones.
FFXIV with a 400h main campaign to even get to max level and ESO with its Paragon system that is way grindier than NW’s expertise system are probably not the best one to shit on NW with.
…soon as i saw the title of the thread i knew who would be the first reply…
Also, imo, BDO is trash…
hard grind? Please, Join the fishing aptitude 250 club
True, but the huge difference is 5% total stats between a Legendary and 2Gold Exotic weapon. A person with under 30 hours grinded in GW2. Can compete and completely dumpster a 10,000 hour PvEer with Full Legendary gear trying to step into PvP.
In New World it’s hundreds if not Thousands of hours of PvE to get to start the game. GW2 have multiple dimensions of progression.
- PvP Progression
- PvE casual Progression
- Raid Progression
- FoTM Progression
- WvW Progression
- Cosmetic Progression (Hence the dubbed name ~Fasion Wars~)
If you want to be a better PvP player in GW2. You hone your mechanical skills, not your gear.
If you want to look better in GW2. You have massive amounts of grind ahead of you for cosmetics. Even though that being the case. in GW2 there is many different avenues you can take to meet your cosmetic goals.
Based on your logic, extreme language, and impatience/entitlement…I’m guessing that you’re in your early twenties. The game has a grind and we all knew it. I don’t understand the outrage. Most of us don’t want things just handed to us. Either way, the grind has been greatly reduced since launch.
