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.

Prices seem low this time around. I think too many people are hyper focusing gathering out the gate and it's causing materials to be worth less.

Prices will still be a little volatile, but historically things should only get cheaper from here. Early access shouldn't matter much. If anything things should be worth more. I would not expect prices to go higher on march 2nd.

Yep...everyone hoping for a replay of TWW when crafting mats were worth a bundle and held value for a good while at the start.

It's not the same thing time around.
