Do you see Grinding as a bad thing?

I think grinding is fun if it's done the right way. If a game is designed where you gain enough experience to take on story related subsequent without needing to do extra, or gain more through interesting side quests, it's fine I feel. If a game requires you to put in extra grind just to continue the story, then that's when it may become a chore.

Yeah, I agree that if the grinding is FORCED then it can be boring.

I was trying to think of a game that falls into this problem, but I kinda drew a blank. The only one that came up for me was FF13 post game stuff.
