Killing a mob epr mob is more profitable in the short run but takes longet time, but on the long run, its better to kill fast hope for a an ecto and move to the next group.

Tbh I don't care one bit what you think. I ,on many occasions, have tested this, not only on separate runs but also on the same runs with different groups. There is a difference.
Maybe the sun shines out your arse and A-net has decided to give you no difference between mass killing and individual killing, I don't know, but for me there is a difference.
You can prove it all you like, I will still hold my ground.

Wiki can be edited by anyone so the part about the info on the wiki is not valid.

I have been looking through the developers update and I am unable to find anything that says, "Killing everything at one time no longer affects what drops". Is there a link that someone can provide that a developer posted stating that this anti-farming code (specifically this anti-farming code) was completely removed from the game.

The only developer statement I can find is the one concerning re-entry into an area no longer affecting drops.

Funny...

So I guess you're also saying drops are determined by luck regardless of killing speed.

Of course there is a luck aspect but the difference in drops between mass killing and individual killing is much greater than that.

Loot scaling was taken out of the code...confirmed by Gaile Grey. And wiki is full of lies...I can edit that page to say loot scaling is moot. The question is one of psycology, not loot scaling. If you don't get the drop, you remember the instance and complain. It's a glass half empty world for you my friend.

The anti-farming code was removed when loot scalling was added but loot scalling itself has not been removed from the game.
