One thing this article doesn't take into account is utility [or "happiness"] maximization (as opposed to simple profit maximization). For example, every hour spent farming is an hour you didn't spend doing something you might enjoy more.

For example, although I might make 500g / hour farming and I only make 150 g / hour running heroics, I enjoy running heroics quite a bit more, and as such, running heroics to farm gold may maximize my utility.
