How grindy is the game?

I have multiple friends that told me that Conan exile was quite grindy and that they are not convinced by Dune because of that.

It’s too bad because I think they would appreciate the game but are too concerned by the fact that it would take a lot of time to get good stuff.

Well good luck to you guys in the US. This AI government will be extremely dangerous. An all knowing advertisement algorithm reaching deep in government data with an unsafe LLM on top? Ouch.

I looked at the article below the one OP shared.

A trending article was about a restaurant owner in France that put a fine for people who don’t come with the same number of people as their reservation. Fascinating, such wow.
