To run it as a rogue you had to spend 3 x more.

Not everyone was making 1-2m per hour there. Not everyone uses 600% + gold loot. Before someone starts foaming at the mouth again, I don’t use that sort of gold loot buff or gold loot sets. Never made that much farming hydra or maus. I always prefer having good stats with some gold loot and don’t bother getting 2 different sets and switching.

71 raids are not giving gold now but jewel farming is still very profitable for tanks. As to the currency thing being mentioned, someone already explained that ^_^
Nerf jewel farming for tank and everyone will switch to rogue with lvl 46 drag blades str build nature jewels and trap/sss/nox/rs skills same thing dif class xD i think you should give rogue another try for jewel farming compare it to how many tank gets its the same if you know how rogue/tank gets 2.7 excellent jewels mind/fury/finesse worth per 15min elix could be more with op ping but thats what i used to get as tank and as rogue at lvl 61 (i never did the mage in mauso 1 thing so idk if that was much better)
the main thing for jewel farming isnt the farming itself but the crafting thats what takes all the time and you will need atleast 30 characters with good inventory to craft these jewels everyday. Lix is 15 mins but the jewel takes a few days to get high enough tier and ready to sell. I made notes on all this and tried all classes and dif gear types back when jewel farm was best way to make gold tank just isn't way better like you say. All classes can get the same amount, the strategy is just different that's why rogues didn't complain about it.
