Do you see Grinding as a bad thing?

It depends on the intensity of the grinding, some games simply go too far and the amount of grinding to succeed is insane like in the game EDF 4.1, if you want to get the INFERNO trophies for each of the 4 categories in the game, you are going to have to grind something that is out of this world.
I am over 600 hours into this game and I still don't have even one of the 4 inferno level trophies and that is simply too much, too far.

How does one put 600+ hours into one non-mmorpg videogame?  One of my all time favourite game’s is Asteroids that I’ve been playing for years/decades on various platforms - but I highly doubt I’ve put more than 100 hours into them.

Where does one find the time/energy/interest?

600 is nothing.

I have played the game less than a year myself, and I am at around 450hrs.
