Well, thats MMO's for you. Eternal grindfest and neglecting your daily chores and social relationships till you finally realize you havent had fun in game for years and terrible emptiness fills your heart and soul. Then only solution for you is alcoholism, prostitues and drugs, and finally, early grave.
But about gameplay, grinding experience numbers in this game is much less than in most MMO's. When you grind here, you are making direct impact on the game's landscape. Leveling up cant be too fast or players mostly skip content of early levels. Also if leveling was too fast, it would affect in punishment for dying, and in this game's system it would make more of those random russians killing you for no reason.
And in real life in most countries there are some annoying laws that prevent you from finding nice spot at local forest, cut down some trees, build a house, mine some iron and make an axe, and insert it into first person's face you see. So we have to do it in game to avoid legal trouble.
When MMO offically launches, it can go many ways. It can be PVP gankfest like in many other games. It can be one huge kingdom dominating whole map, slowly killing whole game. In ideal situation it would be several big kingdoms in balance, and they would need to accept vasals to grow in power and stuff, small RP villages could be in relative savety, soldies in kingdom's army, merchants in main guild's city etc. And there would be Place for every kind of player.
So ye, maybe this game is not for you, but many others will enjoy it. Find support/help email and send your refund request there, some people have got their money back that way. But before doing that ask from yourself if it is fair to demand your money back after buying a game and playing it. I dont know if you were ever happy here, so decision is fully yours. But devs might not agree with you.
Sorry for the wall of text.
E: Well, in theory this is a suggestion to make game less grindy and less punishing as those things seem to be what is driving OP away from game. But ye, maybe feedback section would be better hole for this post.
