Or perhaps players attracted to current MMORPGs are the type that
likes the grind? How many people dislike the grind, know that
"MMORPG => grind", and stay away?

Having said that, I can also play devil's advocate and note that if
there were people that wanted to play MMORPGs but which DIDN'T like
the grind, there would be more grind-less MMORPGs or MUDs, and there
don't seem to be very many of those.

Or maybe the most profitable business models involve
grind-seekers...
