How do you people make gold on this server?

I need to make some gear from leatherworking and I need a lot of primal mights. It takes ages to farm them and I thought it'd be a better idea to farm gold and buy them off the AH. Problem is, I have no idea what to do. Everything seems so slow because there's a lot of people on the server at all times and farming is pretty bad. I'm not too good at AH flipping so Idk what I should do. I see people paying up to 300g for meta gems. Where do they get so much gold from? Any tips?

if you want to become wealthy you should probably try to become good at ah flipping

Get gathering professions.

Skinning or Mining.

Even both would be better.

Search on AH for highest Gold stack that sell.

Farm these.

Sell these on AH for a lower cost.
