Jesus, didn't know it was this literal and serious O_o~

Was kinda shocked when I saw this the first time. Really had no idea it was this serious.

Yeah it's really sad how they have to work in shoddy environments, but you realize that's the same for a LOT of occupations in China.

I met and befriended a "Chinese Farmer" on my wow server and to be honest he was a really chill guy and made a lot of funny jokes in Chinese. They're not that bad at the game either, I brought him on one of my guild's instance runs and he played fine, wasn't greedy or anything, and knew not to roll for things he couldn't use.

I once ponder about that idea, but when I checked on ebay, there was so many WOW gold listing, I didn't know how to compete with them. Then it gets complicated as who to trust to operate it overseas other than family. Most importantly is that I never played WoW so I had no clue other than watching my brother play.

Who can compete with 123801293802 Chinese Progamers? Anyone here have a fullscale farming business?

no they dont work 20 hours, more like 10 hours. as does many more millions of people, for example the ones that made my clothes and computer. and i dont get most of the money i earn either, its always the businessmen with a tie who gets it.

I always let farmers farm. Its kinda sad when a group of people trounces them for hours on end.

In China there are businessmen who employ students, housewives etc. to play MMORPGs. These people play the game for about 10 hours a day, in shifts, and get paid by the hour. At the end of the shift, they hand over all their items to the owner. The owner then sells the items on Ebay for real cash.

If it undermines the mmo industry, it's good.
