If it takes three hours to earn 400 experience points then that is all that the group will get. If said group can deal with more encounters in that three hours then they are going to be rewarded for their ability to deal with challenges in a timely manner.The only way this wouldn't be true is if the one encounter is all they do during the play session.As for the idea that because group A was fighting longer that their challenge was greater I'd have to expect that group B was fighting badly wounded creatures from another encounter which would make the encounter less challenging and therefor worth fewer experience points. But if both groups fought the same creatures then they both deserve the same XP. Group A is shooting themselves in the foot for being inefficient, poorly organize, or using the cinematic style of combat so many seem to find appealing.</blockquote>
