No kidding. Korean MMOs are the most boring grindfests known to man. Not only do you get the joy of killing mob X literally thousands of times just to gain part of a level, you get the added "fun" of the obligatory Unnecessarily Inconvenient Item Upgrade System, wherin you must first spend days looking for a rare item from some insipid mob that lurks who knows where, you must then pay a hefty sum to some NPC (or possibly player) to perform the upgrade, which will inevitably have a remarkably high chance of failure for anything better than a +1 Stick of Pokiness, meaning the Giant Flaming Sword of Destruction you just got is now so gone forever, so guess what? YOU GET TO GO GRIND IT OUT AGAIN!
Enjoying that kind of gameplay requires some kind of mental defect that I just don't have, apparently.
