Yet a lot of people love this and there are multiple genres (MMOs and ARPGs) built around it. Heck even Minecraft is just a mindless grind for some

I think a lot of the people don't understand the 'modes' a person can be in when playing a game.

There are some games that you want to play with your full attention, and you want it to be an intense and immersive experience.

But there are also games that you want to play 'in the background' while having a discord conversation about something else. It's fun and simple, and doesn't come with stakes.

Some analogies to this are throwing a ball back and forth in the yard. Or having a show play in the background. It's comforting.

'Grinding' doesn't have to be bad if it's in that context
