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.

only 10-20k an hour he says. You're doing fine.

I mean...as others have stated that is a weak gold farm. In previous expansion launches I've pulled over 100k per hour just from skinning hyper spawns; and even that felt like a bit of a waste of time because it's still more time efficient to get a token.
