My reply was directed to Celestian, not you Jason.

Celestian can't complain about them "not saying a word about reducing the grind" when they have already made a public announcement and taken the first steps to rectify things.

You CAN complain about these steps not being taken before release, of course. With that, I would agree. But you simply can't accuse NCSoft of not recognizing their own mistakes and trying to fix them. They are, to my surprise, doing just that!

This coming from someone who expected Aion to be "just another asian grinder" and ended up enjoying the game quite a lot. Just goes to show you never know before you try, I suppose.
