Is grinding for loot really a good mechanic?

What does hiding legendaries behind a grindwall really do?

I’d understand if sets were behind challenge walls, but grind alone seems more like an archaic action rpg tradition only necessary when lacking sufficient content.

Perhaps it is an archaic feature of ARPG’s whose time has come. Maybe/maybe not.

The wonder of this game, is if you don’t like something you can mod it, or use a mod. You can use mamba’s GDStash to craft a Legendary. Note it’s still randomly generated, but at least you can do it multiple times.
