Certainly it's slower if you aren't playing DPS or if you expect to be level 40 in a couple hours, but the grind is nowhere near excessive as far as I've gotten. Just follow your quests, look for non-main quests, kill stuff on your way around, and join parties frequently. I never had to stop to grind at an area for being under-leveled.
If you play it like Maple (grind solo for about 3 days to get to "max" level) you're definitely going to be bored, but I don't think ToS is supposed that sort of game.
I think it's more along the lines of I got to the point where I had a level 18-20 quest in my low 10s just from doing [story] quests and nothing else, and when I saw that it kinda made me question it a bit.
Granted I don't know if there's a level scaling similar to how Maple had it where you did reduced damage to higher level mobs and/or you took more damage.

The problem I mostly see is there isn't enough channels to contain all of the low level players like myself. I'll admit I'm not that far. Almost level 20 after 2 hours of play and I had to take a break for the time being cause the quest mobs I had to kill were usually massively crowded with other people trying to do said quest or were just there to grind out some levels. It could have been a bad time for me since it was peak hours so I'll try again later tonight.
This game really reminds me of the whole "Get ahead of the pack early or you're in trouble" bit.
