Grinding in the game is a significant point of frustration for many players, often leading to feelings of anger and disappointment.

Having played hundreds of hours, grinding, pushing through and defeating the other pay-to-win players was pretty alright, but this is just... I don't even know the word to use. I'm furious and saddened at the same time.”
“Don't let its fun and cute trailer and good-looking gameplay distract you. I admit it's fun sometimes, but the grinding and pay-to-play aspects really suck. Uninstall.”
