Do we really want games to surprise us? (Gaming)

I've often argued against folks like Cruel, who bemoan grinds, and who claim that you need to "grind for weeks" in Destiny to have fun or succeed. Those claims are false. You only grind as much as you want to. There are tons of different activities to do, and all of them these days help you get ahead.
Three of which were really actually 'fun' - Raids, Trials, and Crucible.
Raids are sometimes fun.
I like story missions, patrols, and strikes.
