You guys are terrible. He's come to a community to ask for advice. You remember what a community is? How about
forum?

Back to OP. There are a lot of 'suicide botters' farming instances -namely Stonecore -to varying degrees of success. There are also bot hunters who will regularly /who Stonecore and indiscriminately report serial offenders. The instance farm has become a little accessible because of the level 90 boost (no invested time in levelling) and access to cheap Battlechests. There is also a cheap route to accessing WoD accounts that involve Russian accounts (that are now playable on EU servers). All of this is highly risky (hence suicide botters) but potentially high returns for those who know how to do it quickly.
Safe way of earning more gold/hr than suicide bots:
1. TSM. Create a TSM account and get the Addon(s) from their website -and the desktop add to update databases. Optionally you can import data from Wowuction. Now with appropriately configured Groups and Operations for your available professions the in game addon will help you make a lot of gold by showing you what you can make for profit. This works extremely well for Inscription, Engineering and Jewelcrafting *in my experience*. The drawback of TSM is that it takes a few hours, maybe half a day, to setup if you are completely new to the addon. However there are excellent tutorials and copy/paste Groups and Operations that get you up and running. Once configured properly there is essentially a 'Queue everything in my Profession that will make me 'x' profit' button, and TSM will even collate every mat you need (even allowing for banks, gbank and mailbox).
I can make 4-21k profit in less than an hour,
totally legit,
without launching HonorBuddy with this method.
Using HonorBuddy:
2. Shuffle / Gather. I was an MoP millionaire -mainly from GatherBuddy2 and AutoAngler2. Now in WoD, with the distribution of gathered mats thru Garrisons the profit on Gathered mats is very low. With lack of flying you're not going to make much gold from Gathering *in my experience*. There is a method in WoW known as 'shuffling', this refers to taking a mat from one profession (say Ore) and processing it with another (say Prospecting) and then crafting the shuffled mat -say into Gems (or Necklaces/Rings and then DE'ing). Again *in my experience* this is not so profitable in WoW.
3. Instance farming. Stonecore and Grim Batol. If done for personal gain (not for days on end), then you can make gold. There are methods of automating, and exploits (not to be discussed here) that make the farms much faster. However even by hand, Grim Batol and others can return a fairly decent yield of Cloth, Gold and possibly DE'd Hypnotic Dust from Green items.
4. Cloth farming. There are places (including instances) around Azeroth and Deepholm -namely Cataclysm zones -that yield significant amounts of Embersilk Cloth and Hypnotic Dust (from DE'd greens). These mats can fetch a decent price on my server. A cloth farm can yield 4k gold an hour, though it can look pretty bottish and as you are out in the open you will be susceptible to bot hunters. I made my own profile for a spot in Twilight Highlands as I would never be seen dead around the locations that the public profiles farmed en masse. However, now may be a good time to go back and cloth farm if your realm has decent prices. Some locations in Northrend (and its instances) also yield Frostweave Cloth -though in my experience its not worth the hassle compared to Cataclysm cloth.
Become a WoD millionaire:
5. Sell boosts (Highmaul, Curve and CMs). That is what I gravitated towards, and with Personal Loot systems you can sell them all day.
Anyway best of luck, and don't be put off by the scrooges here that shoot you down.
The only wrong question is the question unasked!
