Apples and oranges indeed!!!

On one hand, we have a farming method that requires...lvl 46, mythic aegis, magma and a few jewel elixirs and you can then start off your jewel business( solo). On the other hand, we have a farming method that requires...lvl 71,very good stats to be able to kill the boss in 1 min or so, gear and awakenings needed for those stats, good jewels needed, gold loot sets or items with gold loot awakenings needed, good party with similarly geared ppl needed and I am not even talking about rogues here. 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 ^_^
