Fair enough, I didn't think of that. So you'd have reached 100 with more
zones partially finished while I reached 100 with fewer zones visited but
those quested completely dry.

In any case, you would need to quest on once you reached 100, either to go
back and finish all zones (in your case) or to visit the remaining zones and
finish them (in my case).

I know you don't much care for the lore. What I hadn't realised was that you
considered questing in itself a chore as well (I had assumed you would just
do the quests without reading the story in the quest text, but that seems to
have been a wrong assumption; I stand corrected).

For me "grinding" is an easy, boring, repetitive chore. As such I wouldn't
have considered finishing up quests to be "repetitive", hence not a grind.
It seems our perception of what consitutes a grind are different.

I agree that the flying conditions are probably fairly easy to fulfil for
Catriona's or my own playstyle (if I were still playing) but qould require a
lot of things you seem to dislike about the game (independent on how one
defines grinding).
