But it's the developers doing the optimizing. Even on Ironman, with no trading, it's absolutely stupid.

If you want a specific item, bossing is almost always the correct way to do it. Say you want those adamant bolts.
You have the "soul" option to mine coal and adamantite, smelt that into bars, and then hammer into bolts.
Or you can go kill one of many bosses that drop addy bars, get just as many in the same time, but also get 20 different items for your experience-gaining needs.
It's fucking retarded.

No, I'm complaining that old comfy grind is made redundant by new shiny grinds they release every 6 months.
