About 85% of the complaints are people who inflict a ton of work upon themselves. Examples include making the best foods in bulk, raising animals, leveling skills to max as a goal/task, gathering excess materials needed or not (eg soft tissue / sap beyond the pale), making extra complete bases (all crafting, all resting bonus), fishing, and so on. If you like doing it, fine, its fun and not a 'grind'. But the complainers, specifically, are often doing far more than is required and making it worse then blaming the game.
