This is why sometimes, less valuable coins can be more profitable within the same span of mining time. However, I've noticed that, generally, higher values will produce more profitability, particularly when sustained, which is what I think you're referring to. And LTC has been on a long downswing.
Disagree. Difficulty has nada to do with profitibility of the coins. Just price * how many you find per block.
Its based on the price the coins are being offered at when the time the profitability for that coin is being computed by the pool.
Has nothing to do with higher value coins its based on the pools coding that won't allow over a certain amount of hashrate to be applied to any single coin. If enough others are solo mining a coin then the autopool won't ever be allowed to mine that coin.
So again, even if they added Quantis coin to be minable, if the hashrate for the coin is low enough only 2 miners might be assigned to mine that coin, while the rest still get plopped down to litecoins to mine. Verge, Digibyte, Litecoin....those coins can support most of the hash the scrypt miners throw at the pool. If Quantis can't support it, you will get just a handful of people mining on it and will barely sway the profits at all.
But every little bit counts.
