I'm not making a comment on how this applies to how we are doing things with UO, just agreeing with your statement as it applies to game development in general.Grinding takes the place of content in a lot of cases. If you didn't have grinding in games, whether World of Warcraft, Diablo III, or yes, even UO, people would blow right through the content in no time flat, and be left with nothing to do.
