What Does This Mean?
[ GAMING ][ DEGEN ECONOMY ]
Repeatedly replaying content specifically to farm item drops, often long after the content itself stopped being interesting, purely for the reward at the end.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Three hours into the loot grind and still no sign of the drop."
LORE & ORIGIN
Named once RPG and MMO design increasingly built entire play loops around repeated farming for randomized rewards, making the grind itself a distinct, discussable pattern.
