City of Heroes

In terms of grind which has the least amount?  Age of Conan, World of Warcraft, or this game CoX?  I would like to know so that way I can decide whether or not it's worth subbing to.

i would say CoH has less-est grinding, followed by AoC, and most grinding is WoW

In fact WoW is brainless grinding most of the time...

It will probably be worth your while to go to their respective websites and download the trials they offer.  Not sure how much of the "grind" you'll be able to experience, but it atleast gives you a decent overview of the game before purchasing!  Not sure if Age of Conan offers a trial yet though. 

I can help with the trial questions.

The quests you run at the start of WoW are pretty much the same ones you run at all the other levels and areas. Only real difference is you have to kill more things and the drop rate get astronomically worse.

In CoH what you do at first is similar to what you do later. But as you level you fight different groups of bad guys. All with different resistances and abilities. The drop rates for items and money never get worse then at the start and they really are not that bad.

Only one I can't help with is AoC because last I checked there is no trial for it. 

People have different interpretations of the word "grind". So I can't really answer that as it is. However, if you would like to specify just what you consider "grind" as opposed to what you consider "fun play", then I can answer.

City of Heroes/City of Villains offers customizable adventures and very soon (with the imminent release of Issue 13) Dual Builds available at Level 10. This means that not only can you set the difficulty of your adventures for the day but you can choose a power build for the day as well, depending on whether you feel like teaming or going solo, PvPing or sticking with PvE, etc.There is only as much grind as you invent for yourself. 

I never felt like I had to 'grind' in COH or AOC, WoW thats all I felt like I did. Both CoH and AoC have so many missions/story archs you end up out leveling them if you try to do half of them. I like that. Even though I have bad alt-itis, I run through different stories and it keeps my interest. But if I had to rank, CoH is less grindy than AoC simply because I feel you level faster, and it is soooo much easier to find a group and get ridiculous XP.

i played all 3 games for some time

(more then 3 years cox, 6 months wow and 1 month aoc)

it depends on what you like but i think cox has the least grinding.

the reason: it is super easy to find a group in cox and combat is pure fun.

Since CoX doesn't have any "equipment" or "epic" things you need to grind for it has less grind than WoW. You still have to level your character and it has enhancements for your powers, but I've never had a problem earning more than enough money to buy ehancements.

AoC is just plain a BAD game, stay away from it.
