Crema, please make grinding unrelated to a players ability to battle with the best Tems. Give players other things to grind/breed for. Mounts, achievements, titles, different Lumas, whatever. Making stats (vertical progression) the carrot on the stick is not only an outdated MMO tactic, it’s also toxic to competitive battling. And this is a game about battling.
We've never said players will need to grind Temtem to play competitive matches, in fact, we said multiple times the contrary.
