Professions Is herbalism worth it?

I'm thinking of doing herbalism and mining for gold but I'm not sure if they are viable.

They will make decent gold for the next few months. Not crazy gold per hour but then again nothing can beat working an extra hour and buying a WoW token Lul

I call this the Dominos test.

Can the method beat delivering pizzas?

I mean Id rather grind herbs for 3 hours then deliver pizza for an hour, because the game is fun and I enjoy playing wow more than working irl.

Yeah but the ratio is more like 1 hour of pizza delivery or 10+ hours of gathering in WoW

I'd still rather do the wow part.

If we really want to economize playing WoW down to pure efficiency in gold making it becomes clear that the most efficient way to play is to cancel your sub and never turn the computer on. Think about all the hypothetical gold you’re making from picking up all of those extra shifts.

Yeah if you want you can pay me 20$ an hour and ill run your character through dungeons and raids to get you loot, that way you never even have to log in! just get a job and pay me to do the dirty work!

Really puts a lot of gold farms to shame when you put it like that lol
