Same as any MMO, killing lone or small weakly grouped NPCs in the wild and looting their corpse for money and selling the trash they had. If you want to raid you get even better gear and loot too, places like museums, vaults, and armories. Sucks you are always PvP flagged and there is a rep system.

Yeah but like OP means in real life. Is there any way to "mine for gold" but in the real world? Like somehow to obtain gold out of the ground through some sort of work, perhaps with tools such as shovels and pans and sluices.
If only there were a way, right OP? To like "literally" mine for gold? Boy that would sure be a crazy world wouldn't it? If "resources" could simply be extracted from the earth?

Dude normies sell firewood all the time. They put a sign in their yard saying "firewood $120/cord" or some shit and people stop by to buy some. There's a half dozen people doing that per town in southern Massachusetts and we're not even that rural, I imagine its half the damn town in places like Vermont and Montanna.

How much of a NEET are you, that you think people only buy wood from Home Depot? You can buy wood all over the world, and in the US, in regions where it snows, it's pretty easy to sell off wood if you cut a tree down. Most people don't think about it and let the tree service haul it off - it's a couple hundred dollars of firewood. If it's a maple or oak, or any kind of tree that can produce furniture grade lumber, it's even more money, mills and small independant millers will come get the trunks and pay you for them.
