Its Blizzard's responsibility to balance things. If there are two ways to level or two ways to earn gold, they need to make sure one way isn't a great advantage over another.

I do not see this as having anything to do with botting, or boxing. We must be not but a drop in the bucket compared to the millions of solo players that are out farming to level. That's what they are trying to balance, the 99% of the realm, not us.
