The grind is bad when you start a new account because there is literally so much that needs doing before you can hope to get anywhere, but after a couple of weeks, I found that the gameplay improved significantly.
It all depends on your aspirations, and how much you want the best gear/stats for whatever they be (e.g rune gloves or barrows gloves for gwd, with the latter taking much more time for a small bonus).
Also depends a lot on your source of income in my opinion. For example, if you can handle sustained runecrafting, you will have less trouble getting buyable levels up for quests/tasks/goals, but if you prefer a more "afk" approach, goals will inevitably take longer to achieve.
