...

if absolutely 100% true

Sorry I'm not being racist but I found that pretty hilarious and using that song from Team America was gold hehe.

I take it this is taking the piss out of those poor Chinese people who are paid something like a pound a day to play WoW and farm gold for sale for real money?

If so, it's pretty cruel. Maybe I was just in a serious mood when I watched it but I didn't even find it amusing...

No, you're not the only one.

I don't think the thread was pointless, it was just some cheap humour that some people could appreciate and not all threads here have to be of a serious nature

To go into it a bit more, basically here's the deal. Some people (mainly the Chinese) will pay an absolutely pittance to their "employees" to play WoW on several accounts for 24 hours a day (obviously with some kind of rotation) making as much gold as possible on as many servers as possible. This gold is then sold for stupid amounts (real money) online to those sad enough to buy it. It ruins the game and it ruins the community.

Blizzard are aware of this and have put a stop to many accounts so far, but it still must be happening!

I was given the link form a Chinese friend in China who thought it funny.
Allen it's not just China that makes eBay gold btw. All the other countries do too - have a look on eBay.

you are right, as far as i am concerned (i have met several gold farmers, and chatted with them in Chinese, as I can speak CHinese myself), normally they could farm 100-150 golds/ day, and for every 1 gold farmed they get 0.5 RMB, for your information 1 GBP>= 15RMB

iit's pretty cruel as u said..

it's not those farmers' fault, i really hate their bosses...those who are behind the scenes. I had great chat with one guy (who is a farmer), someday he got banned, and we lost contact.

**Mblaster** · 01-06-2005, 09:35 PM

I saw a program on the TV about it, it wasn't in china though, might have been Russia, and people working there liked it, the pay was a little better than one guys job as a barman, but it did have long hours.
