Yup. Yet the business remains lucrative enough that they keep coming back.
If I were a farmer, I'd be thinking of ways to "hide" my gold on legitimate player accounts right about now. Getting an account banned isn't really that big of a deal when you consider how much more efficient it is to make gold via hacking versus make gold via straight up farming, since an account nowadays costs about the equivalent of 1000 gold and a thousand gold is easy to farm via hacks. But if the account was storing hundreds of thousands of gold... Yowch.
