What is gold farming?

Ok i never really understood what it was so if somebody could explain that to me I would be happy

 

"Gold farming is a general term for an MMORPG activity in which a player attempts to acquire ("farm") items of value which are sold to create stocks of in-game currency ("gold"), usually by exploiting repetitive elements of the game's mechanics. This is usually accomplished by carrying out in-game actions (such as killing an important creature) repeatedly to maximize gains, sometimes by using a program such as a bot or automatic clicker. More broadly, the term "gold farmer" could refer to a player of any type of game who repeats mundane actions over and over in order to collect in-game currency and items. An organization which organizes farmers is known by some as a sweatshop, though the less value-laden term is "workshop" or "gold farm"."
