I see you're dumbing things down to make it seem harmless. But here's where you're wrong.

1. Brutals are still quite valuable for the purpose of leveling up. If you don't believe me, you can ask some of my friends who've made the hi-score board.
2. The money you make from the (sapphires -> dusts -> platinum -> scrolls -> sapphires) farming cycle is linear, meaning the profits don't decrease. The money you make from HHW will always exceed what you spent, even if some folks loot.
3. You can sell rubies to people who haven't maxed their mental level.

It is very profitable, and game-breaking.



Also, 'Tigability?' You're talking about gambling like it's a great way to gauge the value of items when you only get things of equal value or nothing in return.

But sure, wagering your hard-earned cash for the chance to get a random goodie totally makes me believe you're the economic expert here.
Just a few comments on a few of your points
  1. If you attempted to level in the past year or so you'd realize that brutals are a waste of time in comparison to other options you have(the christmas dungeon, crypt and leveling on the overworld even are much more viable options.
  2. In any economy the visual "profits" usually dont go down however everything else becomes more expensive to compensate when it is the main form of currency. Right now tiggables are the main form of currency because you have a chance to win something better or of equal value for the most part. Sometimes there is end game gear put into tigbot and sometimes it appears there is only crap. Tiggables are a viable source of currency solely for the fact that what is able to go into them is set so the values of tiggables shouldn't fluctuate too much unless the bar is raised or lowered on what can go in there.
  3. Mental is fairly useless unless you're writing resist scrolls or your own destruction scrolls. It's just for base level really and with how easy it is to level now it wouldn't take someone more than a few days to reach 110 if they leveled multiple skills.
