Grind for the sake of grinding versus a nice difficulty and progression system is a very fine balance to hit. Especially since everyone is different and sensititive to these issues in different ways. Some people can just grind for the sake up making a number go up and that's the reward, others needs those numbers to translate into some new action, number goes up is just the path to cool thing x.

I agree with what you're saying, but I don't think (for the most part) that is applies to this game. The only thing I can think of in the game that is grinding to "just make a number go up" is skill level, which I totally ignore because, for the most part, it is just making a number go up.

It takes forty silver to make a single sword. that's the definition of pointless grind, plus the damage jump from one fully upgraded tier to an unupgraded higher tier is like, 3 damage.
