What really is both anecdotal and arrogant at best (I was in past also an example of that, irony is not lost on me) - as soon as people start to get close to 100 tt return or over, they seem to go into denial on possibility of 92% tt return with decent equipment and skills and behavior + attack mode on anyone suffering from it. You are an excellent example of this, still remember you asking very similar existential questions over PM, also repeatedly - which begs the question - why now this god mode? Disagreeing on Trump and gun policy is not a good reason. Since the system towards different participants is a black box, there is no way for you to know the return for other avatars only make assumptions based on your experience.
Volatility - have never seen the mentioned volatility over a longer term, my tt returns have been consistent on the same mob over a period of time. Last year eomons mainly alpha were 95%, before that way higher. This year is 90.73% on mixed mobs average below alpha. This has little to do with swirls according to my experience that return is consistent.
If you followed my hunting log you have seen that tt profit has been out of question for me since April 2016 - the loot 2.0 should not have made a big difference but it crashed my tt return from 95-97% to 92% at the moment. The MU is a nonsensical argument at least for Calypso, 80% or so of the loot is crapnel, the rest cannot cover such tt return not even close. Besides, it all goes in circles. When MU was high, people were crying about stackers and re-sellers sucking the blood out of them. Now it is high tt returns of others that sucks the blood out of them. MU to the rescue! Until the next iteration.

Anecdotal at best. Migration and heavily populated areas are always volatile.. sometimes you get the swirls, many times you are bent over. Yea you could do bigger mobs because you can, but you need the bankroll and the markup needs to be there for it to be worth. But you knew all this already, so it begs the question as why this needs to be a constant reminder?
TT was never the focus of hunting. It was always markup. But you could win TT with gear and grind on mobs with just shrapnel and ammo. Now with 2.0, it seems you cant or it is more important to find the markup.. as it should be... just like the other 2 professions. While volatility doesnt make much sense, it is what it is.
