I'm curious to know how long people can grind before getting bored. And what keeps you motivated to grind?
I used to be able to grind for hours years ago, getting 7% on my f/p mage at lev 6x but now training is like... ugh

Nowadays, I can barely grind at all unless there's a 2x event going on. In that case, I'd buy a 2x card and train the whole 4 hours. Regular training? pineapple that; I wouldn't last more than two hours. The most I can ever recall grinding was during that one event that was on... Easter? I don't remember. But anyways, it was a 12-hour 2x event, and me and my friend kept the map and trained on 4x the whole time. I went from like, 112 to 116, lmao.

I can grind for, well, as long as I need to? I grind according to 2x times now, but before, on my hermit, I could go up to like 6-7 hours a day and not get bored. I just talk to my friends while I'm grinding, they make it less boring.

The most time I have grinded was like 10~12 hours straight, only stopping to eat. But usually, I train from 3~4 hours daily.

Listen to music, chat & vent alot..
I've used to grind 15 hours or more daily, longest being 50+ hours (Not exaggerating) with only about 5 hours break (During 2x Events). >_>
Of course not proud about it, but it used to be all about the exp. ;x
Good that I've changed.

At most I've probably gone 12~15 hours in one day. (Including a few 30 minute breaks in between, of course) Nowadays its more like 7~12 depending.

My longest with a few breaks thrown in here and there was about 14 hours. Now I generally only have time to train during my 2x, but if I happen to have nothing to do during a day I'll go for 8-9 hours if I can't find something to do.

I don't get bored. I run out of pots. Then I get to lazy to go get more, thus ending my session.
My longest one was from 68-70 though at V/H as a warrior. lol 10+ hours?

My absolute longest grind-session is I think, 18 hours. :x
That was only once though, and a while back.
Pretty sure I passed out after that though.

A solid 18 hours? Jesus, my one time going 14 hours was hell on my eyes, and I can barely go 9 now. How in the hell did your eyes not fall out of your head at 18 straight hours?

I'm not sure myself. xD
It's certainly not something I'd do again, or even try to. I was pretty motivated at the time though..
& I think the chinkiness of my eyes helped keep them in.

Forever if its with a hot girl.
Actually grinding is really repeititive for me, so like 2 hours?

When I'm active, I grind for 8 hours daily... but I can do much more than that.
Training is fun!

If only my eyes slanted a bit more, I guess that would help me out. Why did I only have to be a quarter Asian. Damn you parents.

I can sit and train for about 6 hours straight before I start getting irritated with it.

By myself... an hour or two.
In a good party, 3 - 4 hours.
With my regular training partner, we can go all day long. We can grind for about 6 - 8 hours then go pap.
Yes... it's sick.
