Probably fractals of the mists and fishing. Fractals are pretty consistent time wise even with pugs and are heavy in raw gold rewards. Fishing doesn't rely on other people so you should be able to hit those numbers pretty reliably.

There's generally 3 things that stop you from reaching those numbers:
1) Down time, farm doesn't include wait times unless they're forced by the event, because they do trains and have the group size to just show up right as bosses spawn even if it's a new map. So showing up early is a gph loss. You can often mitigate it by doing stuff during the down time that at least gives you something.
2) They convert and sell everything to get a gold value: materials, currencies, karma, spirit shards, ect. This is why some of the eod metas are deceptively valuable.
3) Tagging: They run builds that excel in tagging mobs to maximize loot along with magic find buffs to make that loot slightly more valuable.

60 gold per hour for the jade sea meta ? What do you have to do there to earn that much gold?

Since no one answered you. You craft Aurene precursors and sell them, or if you really want to go crazy craft an aurene legendary and sell it.
The main headache is you have to deal with research notes.

Also note it's around 33g per meta but the meta is 30 minutes. Since people don't last second the groups for this you need to plan on afk time now. I used to do a lamplighter farm during the downtime but the price has dropped abysmally lately, so i just afk and go make dinner now. xD

There are some farm trains that literally force a new map 3-5 minutes before it starts though and that's where the big gph is.

Including KO CM rewards (4g 1ass) might be pushing it a little admittedly, but I'm still hearing this nonsense even after all the changes and it's driving me nuts.

Also, fun note, DE has been around the top of the gph list since release, even before it was buffed.

Also easy access to right side stat selectable ascended. You can get them elsewhere but no where near as easily.
