Unfortunately most of you make a invalid point when you say the entire 5 man group would be banned from gold sales. Only the one doing the selling would be, so in reality you have a "throwaway" toon that loots and sells the gold and he is the one that gets banned and all you have to do is fill in his spot and you don't loose any time farming. Even then if he only sells to US gamers the risk is very low, untill he sells to blizzard. If you sell to chinese companies you get screwed very fast because all there accounts are already flagged.

Just bassed on Xzins Cathedral farming vid you can do 100g in a half hour, then bounce to another SM instance and possibly get 200-250g /hour total. Even at those rates you could pay minimum wage with US workers.

Were it gets scary is 10 mans, if you can get a group to do 500g/hour then you have a cash cow.

So for those of you that run 10 mans is that possible?
