Hey! This is a wonderful idea: training centers must be filled by players. For 
a price, of course. Put big notices in central Scorn (and other cities): "TCI 
will pay 5 gold for a goblin, 10 gold for an ogre etc upon delivery to the 
relevant TCI installation."

Something like this is already done with guilds' second floor which need a 
Spectre to "open", so the functionality definitely is there. All that needs 
to be added is a persistent repository of monsters and 
the "monster-for-money" -exchange facility. No need for generators and easy 
way to make some little money if you know how to bring about big numbers of 
monsters.

There might even be some monster infestations here and there around bigworld 
and some NPCs hunting them. A totally autonomous bot might be too difficult 
to code, but if the infested areas do not move around (which they optimally 
should!), the bot could just walk from TCI to infestation, charm some goblins 
and walk back with them. That would add some depth to the world.
