I'm not entirely certain, especially since I don't know any of the mob formulas or frequencies or theories or whatever, but I feel like there must be an optimal location for the player to be located to give full-power to the giant mob trap.

I say this because one time, standing down at the collection bay, it seemed like very few mobs were falling. I decided to go to ground level to stand near the mouth and it seemed like mobs dropped a bit faster. (Or, 30 times per sixty seconds, precisely — I actually stood there and timed it. But just once. And I never got around to timing drops while standing at the collection area.)

Just my theory. I have no idea where the optimal area would be, if this is true.
