The last time I recall the West/East Split was the major hardware upgrades early last year.

In terms of the damage you do to them, or they to you this is essentially correct.

In terms of some of their other factors, such as HP, this is an intrinsic property related to their 'level.

It is this reason why at Halloween, peopel tended to Hunt Eochai in lower level zones, Such as Talos to spawn a Jack rather than PI. The Eochai (Talos) was more vulnerable to debuffs and had lower HP than the Eochai (PI)

Winter Lords certainly used to have a similar effect, the AP/galaxy ones were much easier to take down.

The 10-25 number are based on a Pre-I16 analysis, I haven't added the increased xp/inf for lowbies into my sheets yet.

Level - mob level defeated at even con
Inf No SG - inf dropped out of SG mode
INF SG - inf from defeat in SG mode
Recipes - inf from vendoring all Recipe
Salvage - inf fromvendoring ALL salvage
The percentage at the end is the inf earning from the drops, compared to the inf earned outside of SG mode.

Those are all vendor values

Taking a level 50 for example with the following tweaks.
Rare salvage sold at 500 000 inf (under estimate), common and uncommon at vendor rates
1 in 10 uncommon recipe sells for 1 million
1 in 5 rare sells for 2 million
Common recipes vendored

Those sale prices are a significant underestimate in both rate and price in todays marketplace.

That shifts the recipe coloumn up a touch to 2832, and the salvage up to 1459
Total drops is 4291, meaning 68% of the inf value of minion defeats is from the sales of the drops, rather than the raw inf.

(oh and for the full team situation its 46% of the inf per minion is from the sales under those conditions, just to have that comparison in here.)

And here is the key, if prices skyrocketed as long as someone is actively engaged in the market, and by that I mean selling their drops at the 'going rate' their income compenstates to a large extent automatically and without any chnage in behaviour.

That scenario above. Lets add a factor of 10 to the sold recipes.
1 in 10 uncomon for 10 million
1 in 5 rare for 20 million
Rare salvage for 5 million

Everything else still at Vendor rates

Recipes go upto 9858
Salvage to 14315
Total goes upto 26179

That is a direct earning rate more than doubling. Now how far this extra inf goes depends very much on your spending habits, versus the fixed costs of SO/common IO it goes further. Cheaper sets for frankenslotting is the same.

It is only if you slot heavily with the 'inflated' sets, that your inf doesn't go as far.

My Necro/dark would do this solo, was simple carnage.

With the greatest possible respect to Heraclea, that analogy is an exaggeration, in fact I'd even go as far as to say a wild exaggeration, and can safely be passed over.

Prices routinely doubling in under 24 hours (as in November 2008 in Zimbabwe). Not here, not by a long shot.

Defenders and controllers have single AT Master STF on live to my knowledge

Though a good part of that was the increase in inf creation.

If you are removing inf by the creation of tickets there would be a difference.

You get anti-personnel pop-ups there, but the hunt is in the 'council base' area, so they dont count

Stalkers power do tend to be tweaked a little.

Eviiscerate (claws) became single target such that the stalker can get the critical from hide. I believe headsplitter got the same treatment (and Mids suggests this), but I dont have a BS Stalker to confirm
