Hey guys. Direct copy/paste from a post I made on reddit. Link: http://www.reddit.co...it_will_take_a/
Hi r/diablo! With the patch literally right around the corner, I would like to explain to you people why hitting the paragon cap will take a very long time to reach. And for those dead set on believing that bots will do it first, I would like to point out that bots cannot kill inferno rares/champion packs efficiently, so they have 75% less exp than you do. That is a lot. Now onto the math.
Let's say you can achieve 3.5 million experience in one hour of playing, without any +exp gear, no stacks of NV, and no ruby in your hat. In that on hour of playing we can estimate you can kill an average of 20 mobs per minute. This adds up to 1200 mobs per minute. With max +exp gear, that gives you a bonus of 398,400 experience per hour, bringing us to 3,898,400 experience per hour. Now, we bring in the Nephalem Valor. We can pretend this is on all the time for the sake of simplicity, and put it at a flat 75% bonus. With a radiant star ruby in your helm, that puts you at +106% experience gain. So now we are at 8,030,704 experience per hour. That's a huge number, but really, not enough!
From that 8m exp per hour, and 10,454,400,000 required, we see that it takes 1302 hours of playing. Due to the fact I cut corners to keep it simple, we can expect that to go up to atleast 1400 hours, but for now we will stick with the 1302. Basically, 1302 hours is the equivalent to 54 days of 24/7 playing. We can safely assume that people can efficiently farm the 8m/hr for around 10 hours a day, so we are left with ~130 days of grinding for level 1-100. This is 18 weeks, this is 4 months, this is a lot of time and will definitely be a substantial grind.
I dont know exactly why I made this post, but there ya go.
(If any math is wrong, feel free to point it out and I will edit the post)
