    Still describing the Diablo 3 in-game real money auction house. People just gathered the quickest-to-gather saleable thing over and over, sold it en masse for real money. Little money × many transactions = lotsa money. Then they bought the good stuff.

    Became a gold farm simulator, as full stacks of gold were saleable. If they had blocked gold sales (can’t remember if they did do so eventually), it would’ve just moved to X relatively-common legendary item.
