Re: Grind? Is it grind? I think it's grind. Tell me if it's not. by Mischief Maker 10/03/2009, 9:53pm PDT
It is impossible for content to be developed at a pace fast enough to keep up with the consumption of the content by MMO players.

Grind functions outside of content. Just come up with some abstract numerical stat bonuses and time them so that there is always a carrot just out of reach. Regular palette swaps fill in the rest.

MMOs will never be free of grind. Grind is the only way they can function.
