Farming is collecting things.
Items, money, experience, skill points, faction points, titles, etc.
Farming generally applies when these are acumulated by using a simplified or repetitive task. Money can be obtained by simply playing. But when it's done in a single zone over and over, it's farming.
Farming always tries to maximize effort vs. profit, and is in certain cases prone to using exploits or techniques not allowed by EULA or ToS.

Farming isn't against the EULA. Bots ARE. If I want to spend my time running and killing the same groups for the drops it is my right. I paid for the darn game didn't I? I love this game, but probably the most fun I have had was when you could effectively farm the griffons. It was a rush. It was profitable. I found good stuff. It hurt no one. I doubt farming was considered much when ANet made the game, but with their attempts to make it harder all the time they alienate many players. I'm not a hardcore farmer. I don't have my inventory maxed out on gold and I don't have FoW armor. I just enjoy farming sometimes as a way to play the game.
