Yeah, that's an aspect I have considered. And since most druids don't serve any other very useful function, why not turn them into farmers.

Seriously though, the flight speed with the [Mount Up] buff is 451% vs 492%.

I started doing the math but since I have a druid at 85 in a guild with the buff I can attest that the druid visits fewer nodes per hour than the DK. Anyway, to each his/her own. It still doesn't invalidate the main point that farming is a good way to get started in gold making. It can feed your other toons or provide capital to get started with more risky ventures.

And all of this conversation leads to another important point. MIN/MAX doesn't just apply to raiding. The gold making meta game enjoys just as many players willing to squeeze out the best performance. If I visit 10 more spawn points on my DK per hour than you do on your druid and half those nodes yield product that sells for 4g each node, I just made 20 gold more than you with the same amount of effort.
