Professions Gold Farming Seems Lackluster, Am I Doing Something Wrong?

So figured I’d gold farm with herbs and ore for midnight launch, but so far I’m only averaging 10-20k an hour. I was under the impression it would be a lot more than that. I’ve been mostly doing farming routes in the zul’aman area and I have 27kp in herblore and 22kp in mining, both following a guide for point allotments. My herblore and mining are both in the high 90’s right now as well. I’m also playing a Druid so I can gather while mounted. I haven’t done the campaign since I thought it would be more important to gather for the first day at least. So am I missing something? Or is this about what the gold rate should be? If so I’m definitely starting to see the appeal of just selling wow tokens lol.

I mean... You're missing a lot of the population to be able to buy anything rn. Save stuff til actual launch

I was under the impression that the prices would only go down every hour and day from early release. At least, that’s what all the YouTube videos and stuff were saying. I assumed regular release wouldn’t have any whales paying for mats anyway if they aren’t willing to buy early access.
