While they might be able to blast out a camp of trolls faster then anyone, ask them to do it continously throughout the day, they can't. Unlike a team of fighters who can just sit there endlessly killing.
All I ever said was MM are a good, perhaps the best, SOLO grinding guild. I did not say a team of warriors cant clean trolls all day, but no solo warrior the same size as an MM can kill Mithas trolls or Quali-elves I would say.
I dont know how much time is needed to prepare though, and if bursting through Mithas trolls as a mage or continously killing smaller opponents as a warrior gives more or less XP. My _guess_ is the mage wins though, unless you are a hardcore player who plays you warrior char all day grinding, grindig, grinding.
From an outsider's perspective it _seems_ to me mages are very good at grinding solo, and extremely good in PVP. And I have a feeling they would not be bad at all to have in a team either. How serious the drawbacks are I dont know, but they need to be pretty serious I think.
