I would like to know how many people support the nading version of getting xp to convert verses going out and just hunting like usual to take all sorts of xp back to the villiage.
This is just out of curiosity no real reason for it. Plus I figured it allot of other people would like to know also.
Please, I don't want to know how you do it because I think everyone know the methods used. Just yourOPINION on which you like best and and why.
Please include your template also and what kind of xp you are able to take back to convert.

I havent done it myself but I would think of banking combat and then when they are full then maybe nading, instead of just doing the nades.

Yes. This is definitly the way to go. If people are doing nothing but nading your usually hurting your group bad because the mob's are dying slow due to no dps. Unless you are in a uber group and are the only one nading. What I do is fight the lair down to 2 mobs. Then as the first is about to die, nade full Combat xp off that one, the other is agro incoming, kill it full combat. Then as the lair pops throw a nade now and again but dont gimp your group's dps by just nading. Its not polite unless they know that is the only reason you are there.

I HATE nade-grinders, they just ruin things and seem to get everyone on edge
also it shows that you are a TOTALLY useless group member and don't know why ANYONE would knowingly invite a nade-grinder to join their group

Are you 100% sure this is possible?
Using a weapon wont take away the combat exp from using nades?
If it was possible to use nades for combat EXP AND get weapon exp then it sounds like a exploit almost...

It will take away from your combat xp, the ones you hit with a nade you cannot use anything else on.But if you have agro on mob's that your nade didn't hit (Denoted by the name of the mob being in red if its a non agro mob) I usually KD it and work on it while the group is killing the other mob. Just don't be the guy running to a lair before the group, Nading, getting incapped the sitting on your butt while the group farms YOU xp.

The nice way to do this in group is throw a nade here and there and use your weapon of choice the rest of the time. Granted, you aren't getting full combat xp, but since the object is to max out everything this works out pretty well. Once you start hitting your caps you can see what you still need to cap and take it from there.

I could see the point of nading for xp if there was a time limit on when you had to fill up the boxes, as it is now just a few sessions of normal group hunting will get all you need and you're still waiting for the next phase to change to unlock the next branch. In the end you're not gonna get jedi any quicker by nading vs. normal hunting.

I totally, 100% support it as it helped me with over 75% of the grind. I was going to give up before the CU, when I had 4000 Commando back in February. When I came back at the end of May, I respeced back to MBH/MP, then decided to go the nade route when I decided how easy it could be, so respeced back to 4000 Commando.

Grenading is ok as long as you help the team out. I heal the team in between the fighting and that doesnt take away my combat xp. Also i take out the yellow targets that dont get hit by grenades. Also i like to rotate every other lair with the nades i use. Just remeber if your in a weaker group you prolly wont get any good grenade usage. You should look for stronger groups that will help you out. Also if you have cash tell everyone you will give them like 50k to help yougrind money always help guys not get mad at you for using nades.

PRE CU nade grinders were fine as they were able to solo. Now with the CU, If i am in a group and someone throws a nade, I disband and find another. It is a pain watching some a$$hole throw a nade aggro everything run, get incapped and then expect everyone else to kill the mobs. Pre CU I didnt mind it, POST CU I cant stand it since grouping is damn near required.
