What is grinding wow?

Answer 1

Grinding means that you continuously repeat a certain action in order to reap the rewards for it. It usually involves killing the same kind of monster over and over again, or acquiring a certain resource in large amounts.

Examples are:

Grinding honor - doing a lot of PvP for no other purpose than acquiring honor

Grinding rep - doing quests or killing creatures to increase your reputation with a faction

Grinding (Ore, Leather, Herbs) - Trying to get large amounts of a good

Grinding Exp - killing creatures hours on end to level up, with little or no questing.

Generally, grinding is considered not fun, but a necessary evil to get what you want at times. Compared to other MMO's, the amount of "grinding" is relatively low.
