Learning BLU spells was actually really enjoyable to me, the excitement when you see the mob use the move, then the anticipation of seeing if you learnt it. I left when level cap was still 90, but I'd learnt all the spells up to that point.

I actually used to learn them for my wife's BLU. She found them stressful and annoying. I found them fun and relaxing. Perhaps this is why Atma grinds don't bother me and why I don't have much empathy for those who don't have the patience required for it.
