mining in games

What do they mine? Is it just farming progress to sell accounts later or something else?

I'm guessing mining for lootboxes and items. Never underestimate people's ability find money in an absurd waste of resources.

Pretty much. They also sell gold, crafting materials, and items for real money. If you spend a bit of time playing just about any mmo, you’ll see bots and gold sellers all the time.

In a lot of mmos, people will farm in game resources and sell them for real money.
