I'd rather eat a shoe and risk dying.While you are correct in that older often means more busy, it can't be translated straight into a thesis of the success or fail of the game.
That being said, I would hate to grind like that and so would probably the majority.
The players of today would never accept those old style grind EXP rates, because the gaming industry has been spoon feeding players with stream line designs and instant rewards for several years. The younger players have no idea how personal satisfaction and longer lasting games are linked together, and unless we enter a new gaming paradigm soon, they'll never get the chance.
