is farming still worth doing?

I feel that savings r the best virtue to becoming rich. Most of us in this game are guilty of having wasted 100s of k buying stuff that we later chuck aside...

used to farm hydras and griffins before solo nerf lol

any areas still yield decent gold bounty now?

Gold per se, no. You see, loot scaling affects gold, so in effect, you get 1/8 of the gold we used to get.
On the other hand, foes in Normal are back to their retarded, AoE-ignoring AI, and foes in Hard Mode drop more golds, and of better quality than ever.
So basically: Farming greens and gold items is the same or better as before.
Farming whites and pure gold is nowhere as effective as before.

Farming UW is even better now that there is no AoE flee. It is still very easy to make 30k/hr doing that.

But I think that if you got a run without ectos, you're screwed because of the 1k entry.

I thought the same thing but I have been making my entrance fee back along with a little more.

Yeah. Do chest runs in hard mode and farm stuff in hard mode. Lots of golds to be honest. Also, you can do smite crawler runs in the Underworld. Mistakes happen a lot less often now that the AI has been nerfed.

Yeah, UW is so great with the low price ectos

Solo farming in normal mode is dead

Not to mention, now its about getting that good gold drop and spending time selling it to someone.

In some time all the 55 builds will bring the price down for the easily farmed rares from 100k to 10k, and that would be it anyway.

Solo farming is still worth it, because it still works, and still provides an income. No reason to discuss.
