IMO once you get used to the energy system and start getting the extra drops (nice by way) it seems to work well for me.
I work alot and have a family so it doesn't stress me as much either with all that said. It does however leave me with some time
to chat and not just grind which is a nice bonus. When left with grinding alone I believe I would get tired rather quickly.
I would like to see guilds come in to play though
