There's a large group of "we like to waste our time" type people here... idk why but games like this attract them. Then they even have time to come here to tell people how they should do the same. It's weird.

I think they get some sense of illusory satisfaction from "earning" it the hard way and have to let everyone know how "good" they are because they're willing to spend more time sitting in a chair pushing buttons.

I think they're also afraid of the devs removing some of the grind and making the game too easy. Now that they found something to waste their time on they don't want to lose it.

If you mention anything that makes the game easier or less tedious you will get some kind of counter response from this group. They are quite seriously in love with the grind in this game and defend it vigorously.
