In wow it is MORE than possible... i could make 3-4 grand a month from wow gold if all I did was make gold. But it is boring. Botting gets you banned even if you do it smart (watch soon for ban wave ) but you are right it is nothing in comparison to when EQ was big, at least from the perspective of amount per hour gained. Even at our best boxers can only pull in about 10k an hour worth of materials etc.
