It's quite pleasing to see how the community's reaction evolving in such a short amount of time.
Now that people are really starting to figure out what's going on and how to play effectively, the "awful grind" has become more acceptable.

It's a bit like seeing a bunch of newbies complaining that killing ladybugs and squirrels just outside town is super long and boring, and then realizing that doing the Fate nearby is actually the intended way of doing things.
