Fair enough.  Diablo 2 is another good example of an incredibly
popular all-grind game.  I agree that there must be a good
percentage of folks who like the grind (heck, I even enjoy D2 from
time to time).  Social reasons might hold a person to a game for a
bit longer than they would have otherwise, but certainly not
indefinately.

You could be right.  Or perhaps we just want someone to design a
game that we'd enjoy playing regardless of whether that design is
appealing to the majority.  I certainly feel that way from time to
time.
