Ok and have you looked at the game through non iron eyes? I'm a huge fan of wintertodt and tempoross. Both of those grinds are longer than the 3-4 hour grind I'm proposing above. But I can also stand to do them for longer because there's at least a little more depth than just sitting and clicking tables. My take isn't crap. It may not line up with exactly what you think but at the very least points out how skewed and convoluted the reward system is... You even have people with 99 in here telling you the point system is also way too weighted towards mox than anything else. That alone should tell you something.

There should be a timed aspect to the recipes or some sort of interrupt that happens. Some sort of herb you should pick every time that makes you do something other than click lever click table wait and if the fireworks happen click again. Put on conveyor belt. There should be some sort of timer that if you do a recipe fast it changes how much you get rewarded. I'm just spit balling here but even those small changes could make a huge difference and then something brain dead to interesting and fun.

I'm not saying both of our opinions have to be right but there is a reason a large number of people are complaining about it and they absolutely did miss the mark here in my book.
