Never compare a game to the real economy. At least you are guaranteed drops in destiny with your grinding. No one is guaranteed success in life even with work grinding. Now folks might disagree with this because the word success is not universal. Success is determined or measured in every individual's mind. This can vary between a comfortable and exponential achievement. This is an easier thing to define those who do not include monetary gain as part of the yard stick for success. My definition of success goes like this - you have not reached a truly successful status until your wealth is sustainable for generations and has lead to several other people's success. The distance to reach this successful status is the same for EVERYBODY but the obstacles are vastly different. You can only deny this if you are either naive or simply blind or choose not to understand.
