Yeah I really want to reiterate something Sparky said. If you got 30 people to simultaneously do the Nyx quests, and they take 10m to do (they take on average closer to 5-10m), then in 10m you have just gotten 30 stacks of gp. Sounds pretty good to me.

I think Mario has ultimately pointed out real crux of the issue here. It doesn't matter how lucrative we make grinding in any facet; if it's perceived as boring, players aren't gonna do it and that's it.
ive gotten ghast tear quests 4th day in a row, not that reliable also chances of everyone getting 3 stacks of gp is practically impossible

Just wanted to bring up this breakdown of time to supply a fight that uses 7,500 pots. This is a rough estimate based off of grinding experience of me and a few other players.
  • Gunpowder - 7.5 hours to grind
  • Blaze Rods - 1.5 hours
  • Ghast Tears - 1.5 hours
  • Glowstone - 30 minutes
  • Magma Cream - 30 minutes
  • Gold - 1.5 hours
  • Sand - 30 minutes
  • Pearls - 1.5 hours
The total time roughly to grind enough for 7,500 pots is almost 15 hours.

A long fight can use close to 7,500 pots. If you have a stacked day of fighting and have 4 fights that day you can go through 60 hours worth of grinding for 4 fights.

Something is broken here.

If you look at it and compare total fight time amongst all people who go to the fight, and all the grinding, it is actually not too bad. Let's say a 7500 potion fight is 40 minutes long and you warped about 60 people. Very very rough numbers if anything. You Spend 15 hours of grinding for a total of 40 hours of fight time. That's a 2.6:1 ratio of total fight time to grind time, which is actually not that egregious to expect. Split that amongst a grind team which is 10% of your fighters, and you have 6 people grinding each spending only 2.5 hours grinding per fight, which is actually less grinders than you claim to have. On top of this, this is also about double the total activity of your town, which only further compounds how the invalidity of your argument. Additionally, please keep in mind that this estimate is quite conservative on fight time/potions used, and that the calculations above were done by myself using numbers that were also provided by Jakeman and kiadmowi.

Another thing to keep in mind is the fact that generally speaking, 3 fights don't happen in one day that often and usually if they do, it's only for a week or two, giving you the entirety of the month to grind.

I have more than 6 grinders however not all of them grind every day. 40 hours of fight time is a reach it is in fact less. Realistically my grind team is 15-20% of my actives. If it takes 3.5 hours+ to grind a shulker of GP then this server has a problem.

Out of curiosity, what would you (anyone) say is an "ideal" time it would take to grind a stack of GP, pearls, blaze rods, etc?

i think around 4 hours for a shulker of gp
Blaze rods are no issue people throw a fit about them for no reason
pearls should be 1min per stack

GP 1.5 hours a shulker I feel would be fine. Pearls a min a stack. Everything else is fine. Pearls and GP I have problems with.

I cannot say that creeper spawn rates are any good, they lack a good consistency. There have been points where I dont see a creeper for several minutes. Last night it took around an hour to grind 4 stacks of gp lol
