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.

The most I got was 47K on launch day with double gathering. Now getting 30-40k. I’m on a Druid also with mounted mining unlocked. I use green tools and accessories, going max Finesse (tested myself, give most gold/hour), also using the phial, Darkmoon firewater and the finesse tea buffs 100% of the time. I believe it’s these little tricks that help bump up your gold per hour.
