I may respect the opinions of others (to a point), but I have my reasons for hating grind, and wishing it would go away in gaming so more brevity and actual effort would prevail.thetoddo said:
Even with those stipulations, I'm not entirely convinced anyone actually "likes grind" any more than a drug-fiend "likes being addicted" to something (not the high they get from the drug, but specifically the addiction aspect).
Don't bother trying to convince me of the benefits/joys of grinding; I've seen all that rubbish and rationalization before, and the best argument to date is that grind can work as a skill training regimen (and even that line of thought has its limits).
