I think you're seeing the symptoms of a decade-old dying server with a population in the couple hundreds. Regardless, if there's a 10% chance of a ring drop in 10 hours spent leveling there, that's really good. If there's a 1% chance it's still worth considering. If there was no goblin ring it'd still be a good suggestion for a charming druid in the teens and low 20s.
If you look at the price data I just posted:

Goblin Ring is clearly pretty rare, especially if it is camped often. You would see similar price drops to Fungi Tunic and SCHW with Goblin Ring if the supply of Goblin Rings was anywhere near the same, and campable by level 20s instead of level 50+ characters.

A decade old server with a smaller population usually suffers from high supply and low demand. Thus the price drops on Fungi and SCHW.

When price remains fairly constant, that usually indicates some combination of lower supply and higher demand. Considering Fungi Tunic is more popular than Goblin Ring, I doubt the issue is due to Goblin Ring having a huge demand compared to Fungi Tunic, while also having a similar supply.

Most likely supply for Goblin Rings is significantly lower. This shouldn't be the case if Goblin Ring is easier to acquire than Fungi Tunic, and has been around for the same amount of time.
