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. | ||

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. | ||

it's a fact... there will always be more poor people than rich people and rich people will always explot poor people. It's called capitalism. That's the world we live in. Deal with it. I'm tired so I can't be stuffed writing but (and call me crazy) a few people tried this CRAZY thing we call "socialism" (YES SOCIALISM NOT COMMUNISM!!!) and people fought to destroy them.... why? bcoz it wasn't enough for Johnnie to only have one Nintendo controller, he wanted to have two and this meant a kid in China couldn't have one... simple mathematics... what you have someone else doesn't | ||

Also because you need a business license, I think, which also costs. They don't always have the ability to sell their own stuff either. | ||

Check out analysis on daedalus project if you want to know more. Mmorpg are brainwashing videogame, so it is obvious mmorpg player would be dumb enough to buy gold. I think those chinese kids are doing great. Anyone saying that it is awful should check a factory or a building site to compare. Movie is very interesting thanks for posting. | ||

We chinese call them professional gamers. It's a job,not evil, right? Anyone can choose his own life. Yes,the condition is terrible, but this is a rising area, every thing is being improved. | ||

I have more respect for the guy picking my corn in the fields than this. Plus the only reason they exist is due to Americans (is there no other?) utter laziness yet still willing to pay for a ridiculous service that someone is actually willing to perform. I mean i might as well be paying for someone to tie my shoes, unwrap my bubble gum, wipe my ass. Look at the living conditions, i felt like i was watching some sort of Save the Children infomercial, or cruelty to animals telethon with seedy hidden camera footage. The quality of their life paints a clear picture of the quality of their job, hence the lack of respect. That's true, no doubt We chinese call them professional gamers. It's a job,not evil, right?
