"Grinding is a term used in gaming to describe the process of engaging in repetitive and/or non-entertaining gameplay in order to gain access to other features within the game. The most common usage is in the context of MMORPGs and console role-playing games, such as Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, or Diablo II, in which it is often necessary for a character to repeatedly kill monsters, over and over again, in order to advance their character level to be able to access newer content. Grinding can also appear in other games in which features can be unlocked."@en . . . . . "by Apr 16th 2012 at 3:00PM"@en . . . . . . . . "Grinding is a general term for doing boring stuff that proves to be of some use later on. It is well-described on wikipedia. In ADOM, some activities which can be considered as grinding: \n* Precrowning via live sacrifices. Gives a random artifact without using much (if any) of your resources, but takes significant real-life time, since many monsters need to be led onto the altar. \n* Camping and killing monsters in cavernous levels like the Big Room. \n* Farming herbs. \n* Concentrating on using lots of time-consuming skills like Pick Pockets and Smithing. The line between grinding and scumming is rather thin; in general, the latter abuses some bugs or unintended interactions, while the former is just investing a lot of real-life time for minor (compared to time spent - several precrowns and massive smithing can be game-breaking with enough luck and persistence) gains on the PC."@en .

"\"Grinding\" is the process of repeating several actions and scenarios in order to get experience, items and gold. On many replayable scenarios, after each enemy is defeated, you can receive some random loot items. These items can be useful on itself (especially for the aspiring adventurer) but almost always are just regarded as gold sources (see Item Selling Guide for how to best cashing them in.) This is an option available since practically the beginning of the game, whenever you need some more EXP to achieve certain required level (visit the XP Calculator to see how much EXP you need for a given level) or acquiring some Power from the Grey Circle. It is also an option for a quick gaming session, and to keep active when you have completed all available adventures in the game. The vast array of available options make for an almost endless task to complete them all. Many of them have timers."@en . "*Knuckles the Echidna"@de . . . .

"Grinding is the act of doing something repetitively, such as killing monsters or working up a trade skill. If one is grinding their levels, it usually refers to killing massive amounts of creeps. If one is grinding for reputation, they may be collecting items for repeatable quests for a particular faction. In older MMORPGs, such as EverQuest, grinding was the primary way to advance your character's level. The quest system was very underdeveloped, as opposed to the quest system in World of Warcraft. This is one of the reasons that World of Warcraft has received much praise, as the game has less of a treadmill feeling than its predecessors. Grinding does have some advantages over questing. If one chooses to ignore quests for the most part, or even entirely, they have an enhanced chance of finding world drops, which they may either use or sell for large amounts of gold. Also, if one grinds their professions, they can easily surpass the average skill level of their peers and be able to craft much more powerful items. Grinding reputation with some factions yields substantial rewards (especially with the advent of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade) such as Timbermaw Hold or the Scryers."@en . . .

Grinding can also appear in other games in which features can be unlocked. Synonyms for grinding include the figurative terms treadmilling (a comparison with exercise treadmills), pushing the bar (a reference to Skinner boxes in which animals, having learned that pushing a bar will sometimes produce a treat, will devote time to pushing the bar over and over again) and camping, a reference to \"camping out\" at a monster's spawn point in order to attack it as soon as it spawns or pops after being killed. Related terms include farming (in which the repetition is undertaken in order to obtain items, relating the activity to tending a farm field), and catassing (or poopsocking), which refers to extended or obsessive play sessions. Used as a noun, a grind (or treadmill) is a designed in-game aspect which requires the player to engage in grinding. The most common form of level treadmill is the practice of killing monsters for experience points. The player constantly chases after the next level in order to be able to defeat the next slightly stronger monster. The outcome of MMORPG combat tends to depend more on the character's numerical statistics than the player's skill. Thus there is usually little for a player to do beyond clicking an attack button until he or she wins, or is forced to flee when nearing death. So whether fighting small rats or large demons, the player is performing essentially the same actions, the only difference being the larger numbers in his or her character and the monster's attributes. In the eyes of players, the player is essentially running forward while going nowhere, as on an exercise treadmill."@en . . "*Silver the Hedgehog"@de . . .
