Going from 1->2 for loot, is 3 or 4 worth it?

I just did the Golden Lotus dailies, the batch of the first 5. Each quest gives roughly 20 gold. So 100g per character. It took me 8 minutes to do all 5. I'd say at most depending on the dailies you get there up to 15 minutes max. With my 5 characters that's an instant 500g.

I think when you have a bunch, the dailies for per gold and not playing with the AH or farming certain items it's a good money generator. I'll end up doing usually 20-25 dailies total with all the different hubs in a day and usually skip some of the collectable ones since they take a while using multiple characters and round up quite a bit gold.

Also when you have more you can run instances much faster or even do them yourselves. Anything good that drops from a dungeon run is yours, no rolling needed

WoW has you, you've totally forgotten about D3!!!

It really depends on your setup. There's no question running 1 guy is far faster than 4. But the patch 1.0.7 helps us out quite a bit.

The issue we have is that we have to stop and pickup items, and sometimes switch characters/screens to do it. So no matter what mp you're on, you'll need to do this - So this may take an extra 10-15 mins a run, in addition to syncing up guys etc... Then probably another 10-15 mins to deal with all the loot after a few runs.

So it's much more effective for us to do higher mp levels, since we spend quite a bit of time looting and checking for loot - regardless of mp level. However, in 1.0.6 high mp is crap exp, so it's not more effective from a paragon leveling standpoint.

1.0.7 fixes this quite a bit, so we can do higher mp's which will take more time, but we'll get more loot and exp. Much better use of our time.

Rolling through mp0 just takes too much time to sort through drops - much less likely to get a good one as well - so lots of junk, which wastes our time. Unless you totally ignore drops, and not many people want to ignore drops x4.

Indeed. No inventory-wide identify, nor quick salvage / sell options or pickup options (like dog in TL1 wtf?) has left me scratching my head.

They'll probably find their way into the game at some point so I don't totally hate my purchases. I mean, it is Diablo after all. They'll fix it.
