I'm not reaching at all. The premise of your complaint is the idea of grinding... in an MMO. Spoilers, it's all grinding. If the argument was it was unnecessarily long or difficult grinding, that'd be one thing. But it's not. Capping mettle is very quick and easy. If you cannot stomach something in sideways content that can be completed so quickly, simply don't do it.
