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

So, don't do it if you don't want the sword. There are plenty of weapons that are easier to make.

Also, it is not a pointless grind. It's the game. The act of mining the siver takes all of 10 minutes. All the other steps of finding it, surviving the cold, wolf attacks, stone golems, etc are the game. If you don't like that, then this is not a game for you.
