Experience at high lvl

So with all those penalties i've read. I just ran some maps and here are the results:

I'm lvl 93, 160k damage, all maps white. I enter map, type "/reset_xp", start clockwatch. Do till less than 20 remainin, kill boss.

Map ---------------- Exp per hour (m) -- Exp total (m) -- Time

T3 Apex of Sacrifice ? ----------------- 1 ---------------- ? (94 lvl)

T8 Dark Forest ----- 16 ---------------- 1.1 ------------ 4 m 24

T9 Arid Lake --------- 22.8 -------------- 1.5 ------------ 4 m 17
T9 Arid Lake ------------ 16 ---------------- 1.1 ------------ 4 m 20 (94 lvl)
T9 Gorge ----------- 24 ---------------- 1.8 ------------ 4 m 48
T9 Gorge ----------- 16 ---------------- 1 -------------- 3 m 55 (94 lvl)
T9 Residence ------- 17.8 -------------- 1.5 ------------ 4 m 56

T10 Necropolis* ---- 17.8 -------------- 1.9 ------------ 7 m
T10 Chateau -------- 18.9 -------------- 1.9 ------------ 6 m
T10 Plateau ------- 23 ---------------- 1.7 ------------ 4 m 40
T10 Plateau -------- 16.7 ---------------- 1.2 ------------ 4 m 20 (94 lvl)
T10 Volcano -------- 14.6 -------------- 1 -------------- 4 m 6
T10 Bazaar --------- 20.7 -------------- 1.4 ------------ 4 m 9
T10 Bazaar --------- 14.5 -------------- 1.4 ------------ 5 m 50 (94 lvl)

T11 Springs -------- 25.6 -------------- 2 -------------- 5 m

T12 Arsenal -------- 13 ---------------- 1.6 ------------ 7 m 20 (94 lvl)

* (WITH 6 boxes prophecy)
** Monstrous Treasure - only boxes + boss

So:

I don't know how these penalties work, but 2 T8 maps give same exp as 1 T11. This Gorge gives same as Arid Lake per hour. Overall higer tier maps give more exp per map - but also take more time to do them.

I see optimal in T8 maps. I'm lvl 93 and it's obvious that for highest exp speed i should run T8-T9.

Update
Well i did some more maps. I've noticed strange thing. So the strange thing is that i'm now lvl 94, not 93.
I've marked all maps i did at lvl 94. And i some runs for comparison

T9 Arid Lake ------- 22.8 -------------- 1.5 ------------ 4 m 17
T9 Arid Lake -------------- 16 ---------------- 1.1 ------------ 4 m 20 (94 lvl)

Fisrt one lvl 93, second - lvl 94.
30% less exp speed.

T9 Gorge ----------- 24 ---------------- 1.8 ------------ 4 m 48
T9 Gorge ----------- 16 ---------------- 1 -------------- 3 m 55 (94 lvl)

34% less xp speed

T10 Plateau ------- 23 ---------------- 1.7 ------------ 4 m 40
T10 Plateau -------- 16.7 ---------------- 1.2 ------------ 4 m 20

28% less xp speed.

T10 Bazaar --------- 20.7 -------------- 1.4 ------------ 4 m 9
T10 Bazaar --------- 14.5 -------------- 1.4 ------------ 5 m 50 (94 lvl)

30% less exp speed. Apparently this time maps spawned bigger. But xp speed = constant.

T11 Springs -------- 25.6 -------------- 2 -------------- 5 m
T11 Springs -------- 18.6 -------------- 1.6 ------------- 5 m (94 lvl)

28% less xp speed.

T12 Shipyard ------- 31 ---------------- 2.4 ------------ 4 m 50
T12 Shipyard ------- 19.4 -------------- 1.5 ------------ 4 m 35 (94 lvl)

38% less xp speed

So when i went lvl 93 -> 94
T9 gave 30% less xp speed
T11 gave 28% less xp speed
T12 gave 38% less xp speed (that part is REALLY strange because higher maps should have less penalty. But this is reality - penalty is WORSE for higher map.)
So all maps on average less 30% xp speed, higher or lower. So with higher lvl there is no need to farm higher tier maps.

Welcome to a three week old revelation. Sad but true.

Level 96 and I find Plateau to be the most exp/hour in the safest environment. That and Gorge are pretty comparable and both have great density and no exploration/back tracking.

So I'm done with red maps. The risk of dying is too great at T14+ and that makes it all worthless if you actually do die.

The end game is so messed up right now.

Well since it's better to look at t7-9 maps, i'll update later with results for them. Dark Forest, Underground River etc. Which t7-t9 is best.

Not sure why so many people wanna level past 91-92 anyway. Show me one build a 100 can do that 91 cant. Unless you just love spamming same skill for hundreds of hours I see zero utility

My goal is to have fun. second im not having fun I stop. granted ive taken a couple to 95 but they are few and far between. plus when they handed out exp like candy lol

Anyway you guys need to stop whining about this. you either enjoy build and will play it at 1% A MAP or 5%. Shouldn't make a difference IMO. Or not.

Thanks for nerfing T7,8,9 for the next league ... thanks bro...
next league we will go tropical island only...

If they dont add at least 20 new maps/tiers next league i wont be playing... Every aspect of poe is unrewarding... kinda tired of the same shtick

1. Maybe people have fun leveling their heroes to 100. Who are you to judge how another player has fun in this game.

2. Nobody forced you to come into this thread. The title is pretty clear (not even a click bait title) what it's about. If you don't want to listening to the "whining" stay your butt out of the thread. Whining about the same old thing gets old, but whining about others whining about the same old is what then? lmao

I would feel a little incomplete if I didn't hit 100. Especially since I've gotten to 99 and 62%... I mean, I'll do it, but hard to find motivation right now with these numbers that I'm seeing.

Regardless of how much it gives, it does say a lot when Gorge/Lake/Plat are the actaul end game and people don't care too much about Red Maps. I love rolling Red Maps. I get an e-boner when I see 40% Pack Size, trust me. But at some point you ask yourself wtf you're doing and why you aren't drooling on your keyboard doing a Gorge.
