  • lol poor people i have over 70k on my main :D you can buy gold £1=1000g

  • you cant expect kids who devote so much time and money to a fictional game to care about real life issues.

  • @jerrycarney Google "Child's Play" . To give just one counterexample.

  • i...did not get it.

  • i lol'd so hard at the "dont spend it all at once" i waited for a load of gold but then 90c xD

  • i dont understand

  • @ takatoekoe me either i dont understand the troll was angry because somone bought his thing or somthing idk

  • Awesome! that is so true :( our world is strange

  • !!! trader FTW !!! We Love Farmers !!

  • Should have vendored it instead =)

  • Where does a level 1 rogue farm runecloth?! It must be stolen!!

  • i play WoW, i'm a mage, I started playing world of warcraft in 2004

  • That is quite an achievement GodIncarnated. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

  • haha :D

  • Thanks appreciate the info, Great vid as well very true in reality though these days in WOW the farmers are the ones exploiting the Auction House prices or at least on my server.

  • yeah, I don't mine much saronite, but when I do I always find the prices so dam low its hardly even worth selling, you can even sell a stack of cobalt ore for more gold then saronite

  • whats the addon he has at 0:23 the hp / energy bar where his entire character is shown at the bottom chat bar? would be extremely greatful thanks

  • I believe that's MazzleUI.

  • F2P at aninetwork. com

  • HAHAHA

  • yea nice video xD

  • the place where the orcs where in UC was a wrong place to be, Undercity is on the Eastern Kingdom's not Kalimdor

  • The red line goes to the Eastern Kingdom's to where the Undercity is. If you actually watched the video you would know that.

  • what? the red line thats supposed to be going to Undercity went to Wailing Caverns or something in the Barren

  • Yes, and then it went to Undercity. Watch the video again.

  • Wait. Sorry, you're right.

  • hey! this is fun to watch AND educational

  • If you don't get it, it's encouraging you to buy items, food most commonly, that have the fairtrade sign on them as shown in the video.

    Good video.

  • i dont get it

  • Great Vid! This puts exploitation of the people that farm things in the real world in good perspective. Imagine how you would feel to do hours of runecloth grinding, and only get 90c? When it is being sold in the shops for 2g 30s? Because all the industries in the middle such as transportation were taking thier cut?

  • I dont get it...

  • the music at 1:25 is it the theme of Line age 2 of hunter's village or im wrong plz answer

  • its echo isles music

  • Wow, I never really thought of it this way.

  • What Addons haha ? ;D

  • Ffs... how can a single vid have this much spam...

    I play WoW but i still found it kidna confusing :p

  • WTF? was dis?

  • yooo!! msg me! id is in my profile on the top. <3 muah bye 6

  • 22/f/single/cam! ne1 want to see? 6

  • ROFL!!!!!!! xDDD

  • That was great!

  • ROFLMAO same thing happened to me,i sold a primal life for 4 copper somehow i was pissed

  • lol that has to suck!

  • yep LOL,there prolly r those orcs in the game XD

  • This video is great, and if you don't understand it I hope you will if you keep playing the video

    This exactly is like today's real world

  • funny but sadly it's true. this is exacly like in our world :S

  • nice vid :)

  • Haha

    WTF????

    Glad You Asked...

  • ummm, what?

  • i just don't understand how people don't get it. guy sells something for gold, but only recives 90c in the end. it means it-s unfair. that's it in extremely simple terms and if u can't understand that you need help.

  • ok basicly the company aka orcs are exploiting the farmer by making him end up selling his cloth for 90c they get the profit when they sell it for over 2 g and only pay people to transport it 10 s its not supposed to be like in wow but more like in real life

  • You are obviously missing the point, as this is a metaphor for happenings in the real world.

  • rofl

  • WTF????????????

    Glad you asked...

  • I want monopoly over the Auction house trade :(

  • i had it once on linen cloth

  • if you do can i have the shoe?

  • Sorry for double post so its more like you buying something for 15(your currency) and it only costs 5 somewhere else (Its the person that bought he runecloth that got ripped off)

  • lol thats nothing ive lost over 30gold in auction house transactions. i made a sale for ~250g in the neutral AH and they fucked me so ad

  • It's a metaphor - just like the troll gets treated very badly in the game, people get treated that badly in real life, if they're farming coffee for some corporations. Hence, Fair Trade good, because just like it'd suck if you only got 90 copper for your Runecloth that sold for 2 gold, it sucks if the people who farmed the coffee you pay $3 for only get $0.01 of that cash. NOW I GET IT!

  • ?? it'd suck if you only got 90 copper for your Runecloth that sold for 2 gold, it sucks if the people (who farmed the coffee you pay $3 for) only get $0.01 of that cash. NOW I GET IT!

    Person armed didnt get riped ie they got 2g

    The eople hu got the runcloth didnt get rpped

    The person hu bought it I.e the buyer to deliverer gt ripped off by buying someink for more thn he got it boght off of him for.

  • xD Fairtrade!

  • hehe cool

  • haha! love the vid!

  • Thanks!

  • nice man and very funny:))

  • Thanks!

  • lawl. a 4g cut

  • xD!!!!!!!!!! q trolada

  • haha!Awesome!

  • Thanks!

  • i ..am getting confused...oh well

  • The troll's unhappy because instead of the 2 gold or so he expected for his runecloth, he got paid 90 copper - because the middle-men took all the rest of the money. It's an analogy to the situation of coffee farmers and others in the Third World, and an encouragement to buy Fair Trade.

  • ooo hehe now i get it! lol

    cool video =P sorry for taking you time btw =D

  • No worries!

  • nice msg, well done

  • i dont understand lol nice video though..i think lol

  • Do you know fairtrade? Under the trademark, they buy products from 3rd world countries for a fairer price. And this should be fairtrade for the goldfarmers. ;)

  • very well made and a great point but uhhhh

    why horde?

  • I had a Hordie character around at the time - no other reason!

  • ah ok

  • because horde rule

  • go horde!!!!!

  • I love the vid dude. WOW IS DA BEST

    ALLIANCE!!!

  • Very original, short, sweet, and to the point. Good work!

  • Thanks!

  • 3 times and now I get it for those of you who dont know what it means the troll is the farmer who only gets 90 COPPER!!! For runecloth then the orcs who have the tuxedos sell it for 2.3g The undead is the guy sending it. Hope this helps.

  • That's it! Thanks for clarifying that - I know we could have been more clear...

  • Nicely done...using WoW to make a positive social statement - who woulda thought? ;) Good vid.

  • Thanks!

  • and your point is ...?

  • Exploiting people = bad, pretty much.

  • funny video. Hope I explaning this right to everyone that does not get the video. This is a message about real life and not world of warcraft. It showing how cut throat the business world is. How the rich poeple keep getting reach by robbing from the poor like Wal-mart and Starbucks.

  • That's pretty much exactly right. Glad you liked it!

  • Thanks for the reply. I did like it alot.

  • I may be focking stupped cuz this may be wrong but I hope I'm right is the whole point that whatever u make in life u have too pay so much taxes for it u wont keep much left of it ? If I'm totaly wrong then I lol myself :P

  • uhm.. I didn't get it at all what was going on...

  • Lol.

  • Amazing, that kind of things totally sucks!

  • lol freekin hillarious

  • took me 5 times 2 get it lol

  • he sold a runecloth but because of the deposit was higher than the price he sold he got ripped off and lost money and not gaining it, that was funny

  • Thats harsh

  • hahaha no

  • what the hell?????

  • Me neither (o.O )

  • i dont get it either lol

  • i dont get it 0_O

  • Good video, nicely done

  • Sadly, I might have to use this video to explain to guildies why I don't shop at Walmart or Starbucks. I have tried books, diagrams, even pictures and they just dont seem to understand the high human cost of a low price.

  • i dont get what happened, then again ima noob =]

  • um well not funny do!!! but i see the point some quest are gay

  • fail...

  • what

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Nice

  • Favourited. o_O

  • haha

  • so i get lilen and other stuff 4 my pal he distributes it and gives me 100 percent pay

  • hilairious

  • what the heck?

  • Superb video- an imaginative medium indeed ^^

  • novel way to get the message out :)

  • ooooooooooooooooookaaaa

  • ^_-
