Is this any less grindy than it was before? I played, I got to level...11? With my Red mage.
And then...I couldn't do anything except desperately try adn find a group, or kill mobs that gave barely any experience...

Depending on when you played last (sounds a while), they raised the amount of XP that EP and DC mobs give you, and the new Fields of Valor allow you to gain a set amount of 'bonus' XP based on killing a certain set of mobs. The amount of XP given for completing an FoV is pretty substantial. Law of averages, probably a little less than ~10% of your experience to next level.
Of course, group play is still much faster for XP.
Less grindy it's not, but it's a lot more enjoyable of a solo experience than it was before.
