Gold farming refers to the practice of accumulating in-game currency or virtual items in online video games for the purpose of selling them for real-world money. This is often done by repeatedly performing specific tasks or completing quests in the game, often with the use of automated programs or by hiring individuals to play the game for extended periods of time. While some players engage in gold farming as a means of making a profit, it is often seen as a violation of the game’s terms of service and can result in penalties or bans.
