Interesting! So basically you've identifying some content that "could be" grindy but doesn't feel grindy 1/

It sounds like you define grinding less w.r.t what the content is and more w.r.t what the content feels like 2/

Is that right? How would you define grinding vs. regular content consumption, say? 3/

i think there are different kinds of grinding which can be a content-fest or a pacing issue. A player who has one max level

character and wants another will grind the fastest way possible to max level. Same with professions, your pacing is the grind

whereas other designs are made as a psuedo timegate, where a player'sforced to be paced or do large amounts of tedious content

Very interesting! A lot of food for thought here.

its just how i view the concepts of grinding. I don't personally like design choices that force me to be paced
