In the way of actually making money once maxed, it's just different. Playing the AH is much less painful than flying around northrend mining things, imo. Leveling is definitely worse for crafting though.

I don't do either for money. I max my shit and sit on it. I rolled my rogue as JC so I could cut myself gems I buy with badges/honor. I literally don't spend money and do nothing but make it slowly from raiding. The only thing I ever buy are flasks.
