Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, particularly due to the repetitive tasks required after dying at a boss, such as gathering resources, re-slotting items, and managing inventory. This process can take several minutes, detracting from the overall enjoyment and flow of gameplay.
- “What kills it for me is that when you die at a boss, you start again at the beginning of that dungeon, but then you have to run around, harvest gold, pick locks, gather potions, re-slot them all in your hot bar, buy armor and individually drag each piece onto your build, etc. So once you master the map on the way to the boss, each time you die there's like a 5-minute tedious re-setting up you have to do.”
- “It is sooooooo tedious.”
