I can see where some people would rather pay a modest amount to get a headstart in a game, rather than spend a lot of time doing repetitive tasks to level or acquire gold.
However, if a game was that time consuming, or balanced so that gold was that hard to come by, I would just switch to another game (assuming there were no mods to fix the game balance or cheats to mitigate it).
