Even when I turn it off in the config it doesn't turn it off.

I cant reproduce this problem. Please be more specific in what you are doing. There is so many Grinding settings and I cant guess what you have been trying to do.

this is a 2 year old issue i don't even remember what i was talking about

i think this is when you'd get less gold the more mobs you killed or something like that, im gonna guess i was trying to disable that feature
