I’m loving the look of brink and was wandering about the xp, wich seems to be given in generous dolops, but i want to savor the progression of my charecter, i want to watch him grow, flourish, go to school and die, however…! i think it is important that we avoid, needless grinding (grrr) ill tell you what i mean by ‘meanless’ grinding, where the next few hours of gameplay yeild no reward, its nice to recive content every hour or so, even if its simple clothes. its also nice to see milestones, i love these (every lvl 10 in wow for example) its always nice to be working to a further away goal while being rewarded in the present. over and out 
speculation warmly welcome
