lmfao of all the games to grind you ground in eso you are to mmos what great joe is to posting

you suck at reading comprehension
by "grinding" i meant walking around a few towns getting food ingredients out of crates and then cooking them all in order to get my cooking level to 20. it took half an hour. you don't grind in eso, you just do quests, endless loving quests that all basically boil down to doing the same stuff all the way through

It's a kind of dance all the youngsters are doing nowadays. It's disgusting really. Kids these days have no respect for the moral fabric of society.
