bosses don't scale so it doesn't deter grinding. also gear research is tied to amount of battles fought. and you need certain level of weapon/magic skill to learn new moves. RS2 is the game where you should fight as many battles as you can while moving forward. otherwise your arsenal will be extremely limited for the battles that matter. the whole "don't grind" stigma applies to maybe two games which are minstrel song (original version event rank is super lenient) and the last remnant. any other saga game you can and should grind as much as you like.
