Let's split the community even more, great idea. Other than that i'm sick of that generation of gamers that needs instant gratification, instant max lvl, and leave the game after 2 wekks, because there is nothing to do, great way to kill the game indeed. Grinding is needed, if we get more diverse missions, some side activities giving xp, some more frigates/4th rates to use i wouldn't mind even more grinding that we have now. I agree that current system when you either hunt fleets or farm pve missions to get xp is a bit dull, but it is early access and let's not forget about this.
