Its not the fault of the games, its the players. I don't know that most *like* the grind, but to many people think you have to be at the highest level of play to have any fun at all.
Unfortunately this trend isn't just with computer rpg's. Stopped by a local fantasy/rpg supply shop. Even just watching from the side any random D&D game (or any RPG for that matter) the two groups thats the most fun to listen to are either a group of newbies that haven't gotten on this "uber" mentality yet, and the older gamers (if you can find them).
When people go out of the way to bypass the journey, the end result might be somewhat fun, but its not nearly as fun as it could have been...
