I have a friend that was involved working for the people that made the glider bot. They got sued by blizzard and lost their asses in the court case. I'm sure there will be appeals though. He was making about 5K a month gliding just part time and another 3K month as a part time tech support person on their forum, but he had contacts and knew where to sell the gold, plus he sold characters.

Making what this guy says he makes could be done, but it really would be difficult and you would have to put in a lot of hours and have a lot of outlets for that gold. The guy says he has gotten 150 accounts canceled so far in one year. that isn't too bad if you are making the kind of money he is making.

There are companies in China and southeast Asia that used to make millions per month selling gold, but these days it is so easy and fast to make gold in the game I would imagine the selling has slowed down some, but maybe not. On his site he is selling gold for $20 for 1000 gold. At that rate he has to find a lot of customers in order to make that kind of cash. If he sold it on his own that is over 415 transactions a month that he has to process and transfer. I guess though, if he is just babysitting the computers and letting them glide he has time to find the buyers.
