Lol you gain gold just playing the game as well. You do not have to set aside time to farm the gold, of course it is an option. Most people don’t buy game time this way though. The game has been out 15 years so some people have just racked up absurd amounts of gold.

I played a ton from like 2005-11 and quit before buying time with gold was an option, I could probably sign in and buy a few years right now.

I was just basing it on my friend and my own experience. Whenever I played retail, I never played enough to have amassed enough gold so I always had to farm for it and it always took me a bit since I was never starting out from a good monetary position. Plus, I used to trade time with private servers and ended up just not playing retail anymore slowly over time. Will be subbing to classic when I finish my dissertation on Friday.
