(not real exact since exp gain is hugely different 1-49, vs 50-60, vs 60-61, vs 61-70. but jsut go with it) If I did not manage to get that drop in 1 hr and leave empty handed, that is time lost. Unless you are magically playing in some weird universe where you have endless time, time should be a value for you in what you do and what is worth doing.
What I'm saying is there is no difference in the value of the time at all. I play the game for entertainment and what I'm doing at any given time is what I feel like being entertained by. If I decide to gather it doesn't matter if I get ten items or one hundred as I am there to enjoy gathering. The game isn't a job with some return on investment point in a spreadsheet. The only intrinsic value on my time is how it relates to real life. In real life I'm retired but still consult. When consulting my time does have a value at $250/hr. When I'm not consulting, relaxing and enjoying my free time it is priceless.
