Suggestion "Nerf" infested

[Kotten]

So let me just make things clear, when i mean "nerf infested" i mean to make it give less loot.
So i think it's really weird that 1 person can grind for an entire town with 20 people. To me grinding has just become too easy with infested and there is really no challenge to it.
This is what i got from ≈45m of red infested.

To me this is a bit absurd that i can get all this from just 45m.
My suggestion:
Make solo infested less good by making it so going with teammates brings up the amount the loot you get, kind of like shrines. Also make endermen always stay agro at you at red infested. (plus make it so the mobs get harder depending how many people are at the tile)

This is how many items i got in total. (-the shards because they aren't unstable)

We are aware they are slightly over tuned and that was in part by design. There were a lot of complaints and disagreements previously about how easy/difficult grinding should be and we removed a feature (gunpowder caves) when adding infested tiles. As a result, it was important for them to be powerful initially to ease the transition. There is a planned balance patch to tweak both the nether loot and infested tiles to bring them more in line with each other.

Longer term we would love to keep adding to infested tiles, such as bosses and dynamic events, so there are future plans for cool additions.

I mean that all comes at the cost of high durability loss, which AIs are required to repair. When I did the math last, it seemed reasonable because of the amount of armor repairs needed.

the fact that towns still regularly run out of pots speaks to the fact that red infested isn’t so overwhelmingly OP that it ruins grinding, -1

i don't think you get my point, what i want to see is a nerf to solo grinding and a buff to squad grinding

So like what they did for the mutator where there is a loot buff when close to other players?

no i think it should be tile based, but that also causes a problem with people that can be afk so ye maybe

NeverSleep laughs at your grinding attempts. This is child’s play compared to them back in Regional Powers days!!

ya make the server about who has more time in their life to play and grind for loka good idea lets nerf how easy it is to play the game. I like that more alliances and towns have popped up due to easier grinding. Keep it like this, its perfectly balanced.

there is literally no need to nerf red-infested mobs that already pose enough of a challenge.
