- “Grinding feels like a never-ending chore, and it takes away from the enjoyment of the game. I find myself spending more time grinding than actually playing.”
- “The amount of grinding required to progress is excessive. It feels like the game is designed to stretch out playtime rather than provide a rewarding experience.”
