The idea of grinding doesn't make sense period.

It does if the rewards aren't monetizable because of their ability to break the game. People grind for hats in TF2 all day, and by getting a hat you don't break the game. The problem is when you reward people with things that break the game.

Don't break the game for profit; simple, no?
