Well, look at the anecdotal evidence: I'm not aware of any significant gold farming operations where the means of production reside in the West. Almost all the big ones are located in China or Malaysia where prevailing wages make it profitable to arbitrage the difference between what is a decent wage in those countries and the disposable cash that rich Westerners and Koreans have to spend on these items.

You could make money, but it'll be a trivial amount unless you find a bug to exploit.
