Look for missions involving enemies weak to the kinds of damage you deal and/or that deal damage you are strong against. Peregrine Island is the 40-50 zone for heroes, and Grandville is the one for Villains.
Also, adjust your difficulty setting with a Hero Corps Representative/Fortunata Fateweaver. You can increase enemy spawn sizes, raise/lower enemy level, and/or include/exclude Bosses and Archvillains.
Without specific powerset information, that's probably the best info I can come up with.
Champion 50s (blueside): Marc Bridge, Nicole Bridge, Fred Blaze, Colleen Storms, Sun's Chariot, Moon's Huntress, Point of Pride
Guardian 50s (redside): Connie Mand
AE arc: Spirit Plane Invasion, #29282, @Honbrid

You've been gone over a year. Why in the world would you want to sit in a zone and grind instead of play with the new toys that we have gotten over the last year?|

There was another round of Powerset Proliferation, which means there are at least ten powersets which weren't on those respective ATs when you took a break.
If you prepurchased Going Rogue, you can play with the Dual Pistols powerset on Defenders, Corruptors and Blasters right now.
You probably barely scratched the surface of the good content in the Mission Architect (Try the Dev Choice and Guest Author missions, most of them are as good or better than a lot of the Dev created missions).
Even Power Customization can make your old characters feel new again.
There is a new Task Force and a new Strike Force for your level 35+ characters.
Maybe we just have a different definition of "grind." To me, "grind" means boring and repetitive task, i.e; a job. The last thing I want to do when playing a game to relax is do something that remotely feels like work.
Eh, maybe it's just a part of the accepted MMO scene that I just don't understand. Probably why I have so much trouble playing any of the fantasy MMO's (but the beauty of the Shire in the LOTR game is holding my interest there for the time being).
New story arcs coming soon (ARC IDs will be aded when I finish the arc):
So, you want to join the Hellions? (level 1-14 Villainous arc)
Sparks & Steel (level 5-20 Heroic arc)
and
So you want to join the Skulls? (level 1-14 Villainous arc)

"Grind" in common MMO parlance is that which you have to do to get to the part you want to be at. If you want to "raid" in most MMOs, you have to grind to max (or near max) level. Your level 4 Hunter isn't going to be spending any time in the Mines....until you "grind" out a ton of levels. Yes, there are people who like to tiptoe through the tulips and "enjoy the journey" with no destination in mind, but there are many folks who are more goal oriented and thus, focus on the goal. I can only say that because here, I'm part of the former group whereas everywhere else, I'm a dyed in the wool, hardcore powergamer (I just don't see the point in doing that here). Heck, just the fact that you're enamored with an area in LOTRO that you spend, what, 5 hours in (unless you're willfully slowing your character's progress), tells me you're in the former group. Note: I'm not passing judgment (as I said, I'm in the same boat here but the polar opposite in the other MMOs I play) but it could shed some light on the difference in approach. You're right about all the stuff that might need looking into but powerset proliferation has zero appeal to a person looking to mint their first (or just another) 50.|

I'm guessing the OP has a character in the 40s and wants to "finish it off" by getting it to 50. Blueside, PI missions with the level/spawn size jacked up could work (depending on AT and capability). Tina McIntyre (low 40s) and Unai Kemen (mid to high 40s) are good contacts. Redside, TV missions are good under the same conditions (TV is unlocked by grabbing the 'Master of the Airwaves' exploration badge in Grandville near the top of the Arachnos tower) or if you're low 40s, the missions from the Rikti inside the Arachnos tower (Ambassador something or other) would work. Grinding outdoors is mainly for farming, in my view (and not even then).
