Setting aside the fact a large portion of gold sellers are just scams, you are aware most gold sellers run bots and/or use what is essentially slave labor right? Bots are self-explanatory. The people who are actually sitting at the computer are an entirely different matter. It's not like it's one person logging on everyday from 9-5, running a bunch of guildhests and trade leves then calling it a day. No, these are rooms and often warehouses crammed full of people doing the most basic things like grinding out mobs and gathering a bunch of easy mats and just vendoring whatever drops. You throw 100+ people into a room doing that for 24 hours a day and you're looking at a pretty serious gil.
