I'll give the game a go but I've played so many MMOs to know the warning signs of a game using grind (travel, upkeep, etc.). If that happens I'll be gone as fast as I signed up.
And I say that as a veteran of Asherons Call, Everquest, EQ 2, Lord of the Rings Online, Dark Age of Camelot, World of Warcraft, A Tale in the Desert, Company of Heroes, Company of Villains, Guild Wars and many more. I think I played EQ for 18 months on subscription but the amount of grind convinced me I'm not going to put up with that any more. When those other games resorted to the same BS I was gone.
There's a lot of QoL stuff, and the dialog is all fully voice acted so the emphasis is really more on exploring the world and story.
I've been playing it at my own pace for years, and never worry much about what level I'm at or things like that
