Its called ***grinding***. ...and its been a staple of loot-based RPGs going back decades. What YOU need to understand is two things. 1. The only one who is EVER responsible for addiction....is the addict. Anyone who argues differently is either an addict in denial....or a co-dependant enabler. The First Step to any successful treatment of any addiction is for the addict to (finally) take responsibility. To acknowledge that his life is out of control, and NO ONE is to blame for that but himself. 2. Some people simply have "Low Need for Novelty" personalities. IOW, they don't get bored and restless when asked to repeat a familiar task. They take pleasure in subtle differences, and see the repetition not as a frustrated effort to be given a new experience....but an opportunity to demonstrate MASTERY. By being able to do that strike better, faster, differently than the time before. Which is no different than a person who plays an actual sport. I played baseball for nearly 20 years...and the game was BASICALLY the same in Year 1 that it was in Year 2. I continued to play because I enjoyed the game, not because I was an "addict". At the end of the day, people are different....and want different things out of life. That is why the freedom to choose is so important. One man's Paradise is another man's Hell on Earth. Just because YOU find "grinding" to be boring and unrewarding, doesn't mean that everyone does.....or should. And it doesn't mean that everyone who enjoys it is an addict. It just means that they are DIFFERENT than you, and want something DIFFERENT than you in gaming and entertainment.
