[ GAMING ][ DEGEN ECONOMY ]
Farming in-game currency specifically to sell it for real money, often at industrial scale rather than for personal use, turning a game's economy into a genuine labor market.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Prices crashed the second the gold farming bots found that specific area."
LORE & ORIGIN
Emerged alongside early MMOs' player economies, once real-money trading made virtual currency farming a viable, sometimes full-time occupation.
