I like the long level/quality ladder in Ryzom. It gives perspective to have players with a wide range of skill levels.
Grinding is a pain and makes you wonder why you are doing this, but really it is not a bad point on the game.
Yes grind a few levels to get the next level and upgrade your actions, grind levels to get a certain skill up for a mission or to get fame up so you can buy TPs. But why be in such a hurry to level up? If you play without too much grinding and just explore the place at your own speed, levels will come naturally.
I am 4 years into a 10 year plan - Magic and Melee are where I want them for now, all my Fame is OK and I will get to Crafting properly later. I have some skills mastered and some skills still around 50-60. I have been grinding some skills but when it is not necessary I prefer to just explore and help others with NPC hunts, Boss hunts etc. Sometimes I just sit and watch.
And when you have all 63 skills mastered, it only means your training is finally over. That's when you can relax and enjoy life on Atys.
I don't think of Ryzom as a game to be finished, because it isn't like that. Atys is a place to be.
