If they bring you 1 gold item in 2 months it is one more time then you would have had.

If you have the skill points sitting around they should be working for you.

Seriously, this ^^^.

Farm all ya want, farmed plus hireling is always more than farmed alone. The crying about how terribly valuable the skill point is at level 15 is deceptive - that skill point wasn't just sitting around and likely should have been put somewhere else anyway.

Any crying over skill points once a char has reached 50 is also nonsense, because by then any char should have enough to fill out two bars plus racial and weapon passives, and have some left over to slot into hireling so /some/ mats roll in while doing any sort of build grind.

Beyond that, the sturm & drang over a hireling being 'lazy' is just melodrama.
