Ge Jin, aka Jingle – Chinese Gold Farmers in MMORPGs

What is illegal, is gaining access to people’s private data including their email address and their battle.net account.

so it’s THESE ass holes who farm gold then spam major cities for people to buy it!

Also like the kids in the warehouses were saying, they don’t just screw around they have to keep farming the same monster repeatedly with someone looking over their shoulder at all times telling them what to do. “If I met a gold farmer I would tell them what they do is wrong.” Let that spoiled rich boy live in China for a week and he’ll stop bitching, worrying about what is “moral”, and start worrying about how to survive. Work 300hrs+ a month for only $240 no thanks!

@Vincentlabz I agree with you. Even if it pisses off other gamers or people from other countries it is better than them living on the street and stealing/committing crimes. I wouldn’t want to sit in front of a computer for 12hrs per day 7 days a week in some warehouse only cooled by fans in some plastic or metal chair (not some cushioned leather flexible chair in air condition). Imagine how much your neck and ass would hurt sitting in a metal chair for 12 hours hunched over a monitor.

Very insightful research. Thank you for sharing this.

This completely ruins gold making in WoW…. It’s wrong, and Blizzard don’t do shit about it

i think what people seem to forget is that a persons real life status shouldn’t give them an advantage in games. what gold farmers are doing is enabling people who have more money in real life to have in-game advantages by selling virtual items/money which should have to be ernt by all players the same way, by working for it. if bill gates logs into world of warcraft should he have an advantage over any other player just because he can afford to buy his way through the game?

just my opinion.

Fucking chinks

gold farming isnt a crime!!!! they should allow this

I don’t like Chinese gold farmers. Not because they sell gold. But steal peoples characters. If they just used there own characters then it would be fine with me.

@Vincentlabz
I can’t really say I’m against it or with it because of all the things about it…
I don’t like it, but without it, so many more people wouldn’t have a job and would end up dying sooner because they can’t afford food…

At least Blizzard has won a legal case against the US counterpart of a gold farming company setting a legal precedence for other developers to cut down on gold farmers. But its still up to the players to actively hunt down active gold farms and root them out.

“As a professional gamer, you can have an income though not much, but its still a happy thing”

That person has hope!

interesting. shame that it only has 40k views since 2007, out of the millions of players

The world is not flat.
I think now we got it ;D

But anyway, thanks alot for uploading this video.
I’m not a WoW-Gamer, but thans for offering us a quick view into the World of Goldfarming.

so does America..drug dealing

haha thats so silly, the state doesnt own all business in china.

you know what i hate. china is a communist country which means the government owns every buisiness.. gold farming is ilegal.. so china has a buisiness which is ilegal…

China doesnt have the best resources like “america” they have to do what they can to survive, if they found they playing a game makes money, hey sounds good to me,

if a farmer says it’s good, then there is your answer.

This industry rocks. The sweatshop scenario is kind of ridiculous. A WoW player already works in a sweatshop of his own making without getting paid. These guys figured out a way to do it without having to work elsewhere.

1. Blizzard owns WoW and all player items/gold. WoW is their IP and dealing in real money for Gold or in game items is directly against ToS.
2. Opening up a gold selling business however is not illegal. It does though, fck with the economy. Gold buying and powerleveling make noob high level chars that don’t know shit about the game.
3. Violating ToS is a risk taken… I have no sympathy for the greedy businessmen that try to profit from it, though I do have some for the poor kids in sweatshops

Good video.
Personnaly I think that gold farming is a good Idea.
It gives work for a lot of chinese and it is better than other chinese who are living in the street or who fight some people everywhere. But now I know that it doesn’t respect the Human rigths
But some gold farmers says : ” It is better than work in a plant”…
They have : a roof, some food and are protected by some accidents.

So that’s not very terrible for them.

That’s my opinion.

u started it faggit, wid using the word ‘nub’. so before stating something look at yourself.

such a little kid comment.
