AE is generally more profitable because of the sheer speed and quantities of recipes you can generate.
Walking in the door of an ambush map, cutting out all travel times and keeping your self AoE capped nearly the entire duration makes for 2-4 minute ticket cap runs. Vs. 10-15 minute runs going after purples (which don't even generate 25 recipes)
AE farming vs. level 50 "in-game" farming (cim wall, shadowshard, demon mission, whatever the cool kids are doing these days): which do you think is more profitable?
AE gets you a lot of what you want [eg 15-19 bronze recipes] and none of what you don't.
L50 streetsweeping gets you the chance for purple drops.
I'm content to farm Wents, but I'm just wondering how the Producers Of Raw Material feel these days.

So you think you're a hero, huh.
