Wow. So people actually play games and earn in-game money then sell it
for real money? I didn't know that. I want that job. LOL

No, you don't. It's mainly done by Chinese sweatshops, where they work in
12-hours shifts (or more) and they get paid the equivilent of $120 - $250
US a month. The workers are each playing an entire party of characters at
once and are grinding whatever monster spawn they think will make them the
most gold. You can make more money and have more fun flipping burgers.
