“Grinding” is just a general gaming term. Usually it’s in the context of things like adventure or role-playing games where you can deal with new foes more readily if you have better items, leveled-up characters, etc., that you generally don’t get from taking the fastest possible route through the game up to that point. So generally you go back and play through levels/areas you’ve already played, either to be more thorough or just to repeat the same task in the hopes of acquiring extra items/experience points/whatever.

In the context of AB2, “grinding” was once marginally helpful in the sense that you might get a red treasure chest randomly within a level, but those were rare back then and they seem to have completely vanished now. So really, the only use for it now is to meet your 10-star quota for the day to get your 6 gems, and usually you can accomplish that via the Arena and/or Daily Challenge. So going back to “grind” through old levels is pretty much useless unless you’re a glutton for punishment like I am. It’s just that I thought this was the only viable way to get new feathers at a slightly faster rate than I otherwise would, and I realized I was wrong once I noticed the free feathers being given out daily on the Arena screen.

I suppose it’s good that repetitive level grinding isn’t necessary in order to be competitive in the Arena. Maybe that’s why they eliminated the red treasure chests.
