... it is also possible the calculator is inaccurate.
Are we even certain all trash mobs of a particular level give the same exp (before ZEM is taken into account)? It seems like a level 47 imp protector probably shouldn't give the same exp as a crystalline devourer considering the latter has about 20% more hp.
ZEM numbers were from a table the devs said is not accurate. We don't know if it is wildly inaccurate either. It is only a guesstimate considering testing this would be a painstaking process. Like warpath said, I think people eyeball xp/hour in different zones and then come up with a %.
Now depending on your class/playstyle, mob type, area layout, gear, etc... you might do better in less traditional spots. Everyone will tell you HS is the way to go as an ench/necro and KC is terrible but I've seen quite a few necros prefere KC basement. Some say COM second floor is the best but personally, I hate it. Conventional wisdom isn't always true, you don't have to stick to it if you don't want to. Part of the fun is exploring new areas and trying new things, if you find a better spot then good for you!
