Need to check CoTA and see if they adjusted the monster density in there - that can yield pretty good XP per hour. Did a few runs last night on T4 and the XP was comparable - just not as fast since my gear is only so-so.

Better, I think. I get about 50 million in 2 minutes on t5.
What could be next. Hm, maybe actually just play the game as intended and not just a single quest over and over and over again?
Sorry, I'm probably asking too much :-)
Whatever, in three weeks everyone's gonna be doing bounties and rifts all day long, so it doesn't really matter. A simple fix to prevent this all for once would actually be to limit the amount of new games you can open to 5 per hour or so. But I guess there are valid reasons why not to do so (e.g., logging on to all twinks to check for mats, which you can't do easily anymore in RoS).

Exactly this. I don't mind power leveling but at the same time there is so much life that has been breathed into this game now that I can't sit in one area too long, heck not even the same act (WTB adventure mode). And like you said, Bagstone, RoS is coming very soon and we get even more stuff to do with bounties and rifts. In the mean time I'm having way too much fun playing with new builds and legendaries as I find them ;p
I am glad it is toned down. The Devs wants players to play the game and not doing run after run after run doing the same thing. When that happens they take a look at why it is happening and see why it is so and make adjustments to it.
Look right now we have the extra 50% xp boost until the 24th.

Hmm, this seems to have gotten into a discussion about grinding / farming vs. questing and how people play the game. My initial post was not intended as a disgruntled rant or a slight against Blizzard, it was more of an FYI for those that were grinding paragon on the Mira runs.
Personally, I enjoy a mix of both. The group / clan that I play with, we like to run Act 3 and 4 in it's entirety in the evenings. However, during the day while I'm at the office, I like to hop on now and then and do a quick run in between meetings and appointments. Nothing like that unexpected epic right before a mundane sales meeting.

I have a run that there is a goblin a short distance from a waypoint and do goblin runs at 2minutes a run on T6. Do you think I will tell blizzard or anyone about this run and where it is located? Heck no you know why? Because I cant stand running into elites with 3x cc abilities example: Jailer, Waller, Frozen, Vortex. Even if on lower torment levels you still cannot 100% avoid death due to elites having more than 1 cc ability. So this is why I love my goblin run and hope it stays forever and that nobody else figures it out or gets it nerfed because I like being able to choose how I play, not how they want me to play.

CotA wasn't a fixed amount as the mob density had some variation from run to run. I say that, because I was able to log in for half an hour this afternoon when they put the server back up temporarily and did a couple of CotA runs and it looked to me (I didn't think to check #'s) as though I was getting less exp per run. It might just be I got hit with the random variability - or perhaps Blizzard did in fact adjust CotA somehow.

Goblins do not really drop that much anyway. They used to be better and they were toned down since everyone were running them back in the early patches of the game.
Blizzard are aware of it they just do not think it is that much of an issue since Goblins do not really drop that well except for gems and a few materials. Also Goblins have a knack of being close to at least one elite/champ pack or make a beeline for them.

I'll never understand this decision, like if the amount of XP it gave was outrageous then I would get it but it wasn't. In fact anyone with half decent gear wouldn't even consider doing this over cathedral 4/keep depths 2 + rakkis crossing runs this was just another way that was perhaps a bit easier to do while still giving a decent amount of XP. What's wrong with that? I enjoyed Mira runs, they had a similar feel to baal runs and to nerf this just because it's giving good XP for the amount of effort it takes is wrong imo.
Same goes for cursed chests, the ONLY people who were able to abuse this were streamers because they had people actually hunt the chests for them and then invite said streamer so that he would instantly spawn at the chest and clear it and you know the funny thing? This nerf doesn't even effect them because he'll still get those instant invites to chest spawns so the only people this nerf hurts are the people that didn't abuse it because now they spawn even less and I barely found any to begin with...
This feels just like the changes they've been doing in Hearthstone recently, nerfing what appears to be popular instead of what is actually overpowered... I guess soon we'll see the removal of elites, gear, stats and abilities so that we're all just auto attacking zombies because otherwise someone may be able to gain XP slightly faster... /sigh
Seriously we need to remember, this is a game about...you know...slaying demons.
Not killing the blacksmiths wife over and over for a single quest that gives more XP then anything.

The only streamer i see abusing the system extremely bad is the one who eats his own boogers.
Went from like 200 to 428 in less then a week. he's even doing it right now at this exact moment.
People like this should be banned.
