I do follow a pattern and have a pet looting everything. I'm a warrior, so everything I kill is right next to me, no need to lead the pet to another platform just to pick up the loot.
The reason I chose this particular map is that it's got a natural cycle through it, and nobody can come in and loot, ks, or just disrupt the spawn in a way that makes my experiment less controlled. The map also has its own timer, so I didn't have to rely on myself remembering when to leave.
Finally, I kept track of the exp, to make sure I killed the same amount of mushies in both cases. No server overload (during 2x) or lag or my own tiredness causing a significantly slower session. As you can see from the numbers, the difference in experience (after accounting for 2x exp, which does work) is less than half of a percent.
