A year, two years, maybe longer, but at some point either his friends are A) not going to be able to sustain him or B) not going to want to sustain him, or WoW's servers will shut down.
Besides, I can't comprehend how people like Krye or Cream Soda could live wanting to be in a rut for their entire lives. Wanting to mooch and get through life doing as little as possible is pretty cool, but do you really want that for yourself? Do you want to waste your whole life accomplishing absolutely nothing of value? We grow up having aspirations in life: dreams, goals, a perceivable light at the end of the tunnel. Do you stay where you are and, while happy, not ever get any closer to that point, or do you try and put some effort into your own life, build upon what you have, and at least try to reach some sort of destination? If the largest sense of accomplishment in your life is obtained by getting enough gold to buy a frostwyrm or however the fuck it's earned, maybe I'm not the one whose life needs to be re-evaluated.
