ummmm there is grinding in GW, if you want better equip then that means you have to do the same run over and over again hoping that certain item can be drop. You may not grind for lvl or skills, but you grind for items and money.... and the special pets. Also, the battle system just annoy the crap out of me, it's so slow and boring that it actually made FFXI battles seems like the Wii Sonic dashing through a loop.
