Fast and easy path?
Eat a bowl of rice with two toothpicks instead of chopsticks...the toothpicks will take much longer, but yield the same result.
Would a person who used toothpicks be looked upon as a nobleman, or an idiot?
Okay, but why are you using chopsticks instead of a fork?

ROFLMAO! Good analogy, but I suppose if the person was that impressed that he did it with the toothpicks he would expect everyone else to be just as impressed (meanwhile they are laughing at him behind his back).
To the OP, congratz on your unlock bro.You wont getprops from me based on how you did it because I really don't care- you did it and that's all that counts imo. WTG!
Actually after further contemplation, I've decided I would be impressed if you had done it all wiiiiiittthhhh...
(wait for it...)
A Herring!

And now, with 200+ mill in the bank along with a museum full of the rarest & most expensive items and weapons I have unlocked.Do yourselves a favor and get out of the grind mentality ... u're paying to play this game and to enjoy yourself. Do that.
WOOT GRATS !!!
Gives hope to people like me who have much more fun converting XP along the way as opposed to grinding nades. I tried to use just grenades but it's not for me. I definately found chucking nades at GBN's very boring so I stopped.
I also don't understand the need for people to flame if they choose to grenade or not to grenade. It's a pointless debate so it's good to hear someone encouraging the no-grenade method without flaming those who do use grenades.
Also, does anyone else actually do both? My method is this:
I play the game doing what I feel like at the time to enjoy myself and just convert my xp to FS xp along the way when I cap. Some days I will actually feel like just grinding for the FS conversion at which time I hit the GBN lairs but only use a few stacks of nades per lair in combination with my TKM/Pistoleer skills. I find this a good happy medium as opposed to all nades or no nades at all. But I don't hear of many others doing this. The benefit of doing both without going pure grenades is that its great for people who dont want to change their template and get commando 4/0/0/0 just for the grind. I didn't do that so I can keep a good template for PvP and still have fun along the way to unlocking.
So if you dont want to go pure grenade grind, remember you can still use them without any commando skills and get the combat xp faster in conjunction with your regular weapon xp while still having fun along the way.

I couldn't think of another example that people could relate to...I didn't think a mini-fork would have been very credible.
Remember, you can never go wrong with a Spork.....

Ah I like that analogy. . Here is another
Would you rather choose a spoon or a snowblower to clear snow from your driveway? You will eventually have moved the same amount of snow, but one takes much much longer.

A person that regular grinds "the real way" and a smart person who choses the quickest path available to them will unlock the same profession and have the same opportunities to get the same skills, so why would you chose the longer way if in the end you'll have a Jedi and you still haven't lost 80 extra hours from your precious life.
Only so many
