Are you saying Token that a company wouldn't be able to do this because they are so complex and the paying customers would have little chance following someones orders?

You could hire them to include you on a raid run with their team for chances on a drop. You could pay to have your characters keyed too. The fee's were flat set amounts if I remember right, it was treated very much like power leveling. There's also been many guilds in-game that offered their service as raiders for non-guild members to join their raids in limited numbers paying hundreds in gold for a chance at an item. So while the companies themselves don't offer or necessarily condone these services, the 3rd party marketplace has been filling demand for sometime.
