Please tell me this won't be a grindfest like last time.

Trust me I've looked at DRPG from every single angle possible to see if it's possible to remove grinding.
You don't. The entire thing is simply built on grinding.

And it's not the problem either. The problem is that there's nothing else to do but grind. There needs to be other features, or some of the grinding needs to be removed.

For example, mining/woodcutting/farming levels should just be removed. Everything available to any level. Reduced time to mine everything. What does this do? Puts more focus on crafting, the important part of gearing yourself up in a DRPG server.
Then what you can do is put higher tier ores in more dangerous places. This will require people to actually gear up for each tier and fight their way through the tiers. But what about mining speed rewards for higher mining levels, etc? More crafting focus? Make new pickaxes and axes and such. Hell, maybe you could even make pickaxe tiers be the requirements for mining certain ores, and such for trees.

This is just one of the many ideas that could improve DRPG, and take some focus out of grinding forever.

Then you have stuffty friends lol. The people you trust the most and who you hang out with aren't deserving of administrative power? That's a little strange to consider.

I'm not sure if you understand the difference between friend and admin.
It's not that they "don't deserve the power", it's that "you don't want to hand them all the responsibility that comes with it".
Like really, when you just pop admin onto one of your friends, you're making them responsible for taking care of your server, and all the problems that come with it. Someone has a question about the server? Admin responsibility. Someone stuck on a no-Self Delete gamemode? Admin responsibility. Etc etc.

And if they're just admin for the power, and don't help out the server in any way, then they're not a good admin, and thus, they don't deserve it.

And are you comfortable while you're playing on-par?

Not sure, haven't had any personal experience.

What I will say though, is that using your beloved thumbsticks in a PC gamer environment will just get you killed in most cases.
