It is literly impossible to level gathering proffessions atm. Example, i was in the hinterlands to level my mining from 180+ and when i did a who the zone is already full about 20 level 80’s farming herbs and mining nodes to sell on AH. Please for the love of god just give us maxed professions. I decided to level my mining and jewelcrafting before i go into the Wrath zones and here I am a week later still doing it…
Other alternative solutions:
More phasing in lower level zones
Make nodes spawn faster in lower level zones

The boosts shouldnt even be a thing tbh, you got yourself a level 70 with for the level maxed out weapon skills and some gear and mounts and stuff and you cry out for more.
When they introduced the boost with TBC classic I was called paranoid when I told people that having boosts will just lead to people wanting more things.

i actually agree in some way, if proffs are going to be a hinderence to level then dont offer boosts at all so i can level them while i am leveling? but that wouldnt really solve the issue as the lv 80’s will still be in the Hinterlands running around farming. This issue is the old farming system, 1 person per none, slow node reapwn time. Welcome to classic!

Wanna know a secret, most of those level 80s were boosted chars that people leveled to max level before they started to get their professions up, without the boost there would at most be 1 or 2 level 80s farming a bracket of ore (or herbs) and there would still be plenty left.
Well there are also those who have swapped professions who are grinding them up right now.

You forgot bots. I’m sure ive seen a few moving stragely too
Thats true, my suggestion to you would be to go and level your char and return to do the profession grind in a week or so when most of the people who are grinding right now are more than done. Havent been looking much in the old world for a while tbh so my 1-2 might be a bit overly optimistic.

Not only that, but also full epic gear, one for PvE and other for PvP, besides from that, a teleport for any place in the map with 5 minutes cooldown. /S
Why do this people even play mmorpg’s ? sigh
I dunno why people go to The Hinterlands to farm Mithril
Azshara is better. Pretty much every 50+ zone has more.
Boost on Thekal where we have no bots anymore after the last ban wave.
Oh wait, it’s locked.
Because the guide that everyone is prob following that comes up first in a google search is telling them too 
Ah well when it comes to anything that makes money, people aren’t going to put the best farming spots on a public space for anyone to find.

3rd alternative: Remove boost!
And return RDF - very nice tool to level up an alt
I do not care one way or another for RDF. I level alts mainly via exploring and Questing. RDF migth make me do one or two dungeons a week instead as of now one to two dungeons a month.
Sure but you’d know exactly what those dungeons are likely to be.
It will never be Dire Maul for example.
I have no idea. On my now main. I have done exactly two dungeons: Zul’farak and Dire maul 
You didn’t do Dire Maul. I would bet my families life on it.
You lost.
Show me your progress in the Achievement “King of Dire Maul”
Tell me where to find armory for Classic.
