People have done this for decades at this point. I remember reading news about gamers paying peanuts to people in the global south to level up their WoW characters.
i had a friend in high school who would set his alarm during the summer so he'd be up in time to grind the ladder for Diablo (can't remember which one bc i'm not a gamer.)
Probably Diablo 2 because that's when ladder got really competitive. You could make serious bank if you found some of the first high runes after a fresh reset. We're talking like $300 on E-Bay for a Jah or Ber if found within the first four hours. That price plummets down to less than $1 by the end of the week.
This is mainly due to dupers being able to make their money back the sooner they get their hands on certain things.
I don't think he was making bank though I think he was just doing it for the love of the game!
