To each their own. I hit 40 on my first pirate by going through the pearl quest, and doing the few side quests that were available at the time. By the time you reached the end of the storyline and were ready to take down the pearl back then, you were at lev 23-26 nort with lev 10-15-ish weapons though. Nothing left to do but grind away....
So on the next few of pirates, I ignored the story line all together. I leveled weapons first, then started the story line. I still have the BB left on two. Now I do a combo of both leveling and questing.
It's not "mindlessly running around killing stuff", it's just playing the game differently. The game doesn't "require" you to do anything in a particular order. Play it the way you want, have fun, mix it up a little. I know of one pirate who, just for fun, tried to see how close to 40 he could get by ONLY using Cutlass and doing weapons and TP quests. He got pretty close, and it was a fun experiment.
