How to level pistol

I am just like you - none of my L40's (Currently - My Last One may actually pull it off before 40...) see no need to satisify my 'inner completion feeling' on gernades, and as I've mentioned about the entire levelling system (many times over the last 18 months) - it still cooks my mind that 'less is more' and that yor actually rewarded for keeping weapons and skills 'dumb down' to achieve higher results...

But what can one do

Thanks, that makes sense. I guess I'd like to hit L40, but to level my weapons requires non-questing drudgery, so I've decided (for now at least) to just level up my favorites (cutlass, doll, staff) to 20 for access to all skills, with pistol/dagger at minimum 14 (but getting whatever exp I can by cross-attacking high levels like stumps for extra rep). It gets really freaking boring once you get past L12 or so and have to start grinding. At some point I actually want to beef up my attacks and quest again! Sailing/gunning is actually my favorite thing, but I'm already 25/22 there.

Maybe Disney will figure out that they have designed exp totally wrong and fix it. Can you imagine if they ever raise the level cap say to L50 Noteriety, L30 weapons with the system as is. Have fun raising your grenades 5 more levels...

I think I'm done ranting for now.
