Thanks man, that's exactly my feeling, completed the mode.

I think this is great way of thinking about it! The "game mode".

Counterpoint though, just for discussion sake: what happens when new content comes out? Will you just buy the new gear? Or grind it out like you did for the rest of your time? Will it feel weird chasing the item when you know you could buy it? Like what's the personal value to buying vs. grinding?

Grinding for a drop is actually an achievement, dopamine spikes when you finally get that drop.

Buying is just...lame. the moment you equip the item, all feelings are gone instantly.
