My main point of contention is primarly that when I do something, and that something does not require me to think or pay attention to it, and just eats away at my time, then I am not having fun playing the game, and then why am I playing the game? Or that aspect of the game. I am probably one of the few people that actually want a way longer grind. But I want it in a way where it's more interesting. Little tiny goals to work towards that you accumulate over time, without specifically going out of your way. LEing back to 1 is going out of your way and feels unnatural.

Reverting to level 1 for some reason, and just redoing everything the same way as before albeit faster has a lot of problems in the RP Immersion too. LEing is a Relic of the past, where we had RNG stat spreads, and LEing to reroll your stats in that sense was the only logical step. We didn't have that need ever since GR2. Nowadays you just buy a stat respec fruit if your build needs tweaking or if you don't want to pay the Murai/Asago for it, you can LE. I get it, and the Option should definitively remain.
But a way to earn inks, while remaining level 60, would go such a long way. I could go out and help people, while at level 60 and not feel like I am wasting my time enitely, cause I don't get anything from it.
I could actually tackle harder difficulty dungeon to challange myself and slowly progress towards something. The Rewards for tackling higher difficulty stuff so far is just horrible. and it needs adjusting.

I am sure people would feel alot less annoyed by the grind if we just had those points alone. And there are certainly more ways to make things more enjoyable. Its just a matter of actually doing it.
Give us an item that works on Leader, where we can put a Challange modifier onto every encounter we run into for better rewards. Like crazy, all monsters are giants, or whatever. Just so we can mix it up a bit.

or generally, increase the mob spawn rate cause its really odd how a party of players even without summons entirely outnumbers the mobs. I rather have fewer longer encounters, that might pose a threat (probably still won't) then having to contest with every other party in the dungeon for the mobs and then cause everyone speedrun blazes through them, just sit there in awkward silence.
