Hyellow!
I kept hearing over and over again (including from very reputable persons whose intelligence and knowledge of game mechanics I totally appreciate, like atomicstorm / 5$) that in order to achieve good results one has to grind for at least a few hours.
Now I can see a lot of possibilities why jumping from one mob to another can be a bad decision, so I'm not asking about that, but what I'm asking is if you think that, as long as you stick with the same mob, it matters or not for as long as you're grinding on not?
So, in other, words, should be any difference in loot returns between player a and player b from the following scenario?
Player A kills 10,000 same mobs in 10 days, by killing 1,000 mobs per day in a single session per day (so a total of 10 sessions)
Player B kills 10,000 same mobs in 100 days, by killing 50 mobs per session, two sessions per days (so a total of 200 sessions)
In my mind, the results should be similar, since, in the end, is the same 10,000 exact mobs, killed with the same setup, but hearing so much talk about grinding and its positive effect I start wondering if I actually may be wrong.
If the answer is that, indeed, the two players get different results (more exactly player B getting lower results than player A) then please also explain to me why this is happening (obviously if that's not some secret that you don't want to share).
Thanks a lot in advance!
