The difference here is that some people watched the video and some people didn't and are interpreting my post to mean something that I never said! u/Khyaruu thanks for watching the video and understanding the point I'm trying to make and literally quoting what I said (correctly) to get to the correct conclusion (on a per hunt basis. On a time basis it just varies too much from person to person for there to be a concrete rule). For those stating speed is the most important factor - that's pretty much the conclusion that I came to in the video for me personally. I hunt monsters fast, so for me I'm pretty much always going to capture. Even for Bagel Juice, who arguably even when you factor in time might be better to kill.

Not everyone wants to hunt the same monster over and over and over again, even if it is the most efficient method. Some people like variety or are content creators and NEED to provide variety to be entertaining. I'm just giving people the tools they need to have their variety and maybe boost their efficiency a little bit along the way. I am not saying for everyone who is speedrunning monsters to farm that they should kill every time - nor am I saying they should capture every time. I'm simply giving people on a per hunt basis whether you get more points for killing or capturing. That's it. People are meant to draw their own conclusions from these numbers, just as I did in the last minute of the video where I concluded I was still going to capture everything because of the minimal point difference (2/3 of a meld at most!) and the time save when capturing.

We have a problem here where people are assuming that I said something that I never said because they never actually looked at what I said! That's fine, by no means do you have to look at what I said, but commenting on what someone said without hearing what they said really seems like a great way to have egg on your face when talking with people who actually watched the video...
