Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while some enjoy the farming and quest completion, others find it tedious, particularly when it comes to gathering materials for upgrades. The grind can feel excessive, especially for those unfamiliar with the game mechanics, leading to frustration over time spent versus rewards gained. Overall, the enjoyment of grinding seems to depend on individual player preferences and familiarity with the game.
“Without cheat, this game is a bit grindy if you don't know what you're doing.”
“The grind is pretty tedious in the materials department, especially for an ore to upgrade your tools. That's a con; it could be maybe 50% less for needed materials, and I could see myself enjoying this more.”
“The grind is tedious as hell, so until you can get the girl, it'll be over 2 hours already. The chance of a refund is kind of low, so hopefully that won't happen.”
