There are some very inconsistent PoT drop rate reports in this thread.
Converting to drops per hour at 1x:
Stereo: 3 per 2 hrs @ 1x -> 1.5/hr 13x Paladin/OB2-4
FluffyFoxie: 16 per 4 hrs @ 2x -> 2/hr 15x MM/OB2
TomasLuther: 10 per 30 min @ 4x -> 5/hr 17x Hero/OB4
HeroSTRatos: 0 per 4 hr @ 2x -> 0/hr 18x Hero/??
Bribery: typ. 2.5 per 4 hr @ 2x -> 0.3/hr 15x Corsair/OB4
Me: 0 per lotsa hours at memory maps 15x AM/M1-4
What's going on here?
1- Some downplay how good it is to keep it to themselves (eg Hero)
2- Some can kill 16 x faster than others in same map ( oh really? )
3- Obliv maps probably much better drop rates than Mem maps
4- Some have been very lucky/unlucky for extensive periods of time
5- Drop rates differ for different characters (like for the people who could get a Maple shield every couple hours during the anniversary event).
So whether Farming PoT is better than leeching depends on many things.
Best to try it out yourself to find out, I suppose.
