Do you see Grinding as a bad thing?

[Farsala]

I enjoy grinding a lot. But if it is boring, it is boring.

The 4 platinum trophies I got were due to a ton of grinding. World of Warcraft took up my time when PvP and PvE were really fun, and that took a ton of grinding. I quit when it got boring. I prefer games with more of a grind as kind of a grind gate from the less dedicated people. I prefer gameplay with people just as dedicated as me to the game.

The example given earlier is World of Warcraft, in classic one would have to grind through levels and quests in order to do some dungeons. After that one would have to grind through dungeons to have good enough gear to dent the first boss of the raid. And then one would have to kill the boss slowly and on to the next one.

In recent times one can level up instantly, even buying it for money. But if not that then you can level up with little effort, get to max level and completely ignore dungeons and jump right into the raid. If one chose to do raid finder one could easily clear the whole thing without a single ounce of effort. But if not that due to timegates, then one could do normal raids which are also much easier and don't even require good dungeon gear.

I infinitely prefer classic to recent expansions, and people often say "but the grinding is so bad!, no way I would want to play that" Well shocking I know but I definitely do.
