The next World of Warcraft patch is out this week (Wednesday for the UK) so I spent (too much of) yesterday grinding out a quest chain that I'd had sitting around for a while.
Grinding is the operative word: gather 1500 of these, now 1000 of those, and finally 500 of this other thing. 😱
I wasn't really paying attention to where it was going, just focusing on the numbers, so was a bit surprised that the chain finished so quickly but it did give quite a cool flying mount.
I've always been able to just lose myself in the grind, doing the same thing over and over to get an eventual reward, even if it's nothing overly exciting. I suppose it's just the way my brain works.
