TV article about chinese gold farmers

[ViteloElyos]

das ist schon heftig was da gemacht wird ^^

[ViteloElyos]

@ViteloElyos

aber heut so die tage sind es bots :p

[counterstrikenerd321]

I would do this for a living

[krizitoyness]

WTF it's called JOB.! we have that here in philippines.!

power leveling, gold farming, honor farming, professions, even secondary skills..

though their boss is a retard.! lol 12 hours straight, no pause, no break, WHAT KIND OF COMPANY IS THAT.?!

[darkmaster071]

most gamers do this already - 12 hours a day. But if all that time is just farming gold and not having fun anyone would go insane.

[2dayCA]

People, chinese gold farmers live in horrible conditions just because you want to gain more points on an online game.... You guys should really buy a life instead of buying pixel and making people slaves.

[blackgamen]

@2dayCA

Think about this... If you take away the people willing to buy the shit, these kids wouldn't have any money whatsoever. They would just work a different slave job. There country is overpopulated because they fucking multiplied like retarded rabbits. Our world is simply overpopulated in general and they end up not having enough work for the amount of people. Take away the games... we still have slavery and addictions other than games.. We have drugs.

[TheVekNilashGoblin]

i think its fake

[ccfccrazy]

Theres MUCH worse jobs than playing computer games 12 hours a day...

[from212]

I work on computers about 12 hours a day and if you add transportation time that's about 13 hours a day, so I guess that makes me more of a slave than them. The only bad thing is they don't get brakes, other than that it looks like they are just crybabies. They have free food, shelter and a salary in a very poor country. There is 24 hrs in a day... do they really need more than 12 hours to sleep, shower, exercise, etc? They are not doing manual labor... so WTF is the big deal?

[maddogz75]

@from212 wow how insensitive. yeah you are such a slave with your freedom and the choice to do what you want. grow up and try caring about others for a change, huh?

[from212]

@maddogz75 freedom? I have 4 kids, a wife, and a government who tries to control every aspect of my life. So, no I don't see where my freedom is. Not everyone (maybe you) can sit on their ass 12 hours a day and still support their family. Have you seen starving kids in Somalia? How can I feel sry for these lazy well-fed scumbags when there are ppl starving and wishing they had the chance to be in their position.

[maddogz75]

@from212 oh poor baby? you have a family that makes you a slave. and just because its not the worst situation, that doesnt mean that it isnt terrible you insensitive scum

[jasong2542]

@from212 hey you fucking piece of shit most of them are teenagers hoping for a better future than the shithole they live in. You dont see teenagers in the U.S.A working 12 hour shifts asshole. Did you see the poor teenager worrying about his health and education? how many spoiled fucking teens do you see worrying about that in this country? And shut your mouth stupid ass you work because you got a family nobody forced you to have a family and you can quit your job whenever you like.

[Lolshgirl]

STOP STEALIN' MUH GOLD! >:O

[iLikeAAK]

@xheroxabove *groan* same...

[xheroxabove]

uhhh, i feel guilty now..

[WorldOfBloodcraft]

ze germans

[CartmanLandZ]

noob chinese people. Study ICT/Software devoplment and make a nice bot.... dont need all thath people plus bots way cheaper no food no shelter.

[noobaday]

@CartmanLandZ, they cant study in the first place idiot. The dont have the money.

Its not like europe or the US.

[CartmanLandZ]

listing dude, they have internet. They can take free study's on the internet. its fucking easy

[frozencanadian]

@CartmanLandZ Who gets hired from those sorts of educations lol. Most online "educations" are simply scams.

[CartmanLandZ]

@frozencanadian lol, i have took many of those lessons. Its not that hard, u can look everething free up on the internet now-a days.......

[popoprd]

@CartmanLandZ exactly if you make perfect bot that uses keyboard inputs and uses mouse like human not like a bot ... yea it would be a lots of money and developemnt but better than this...

[TxMrWonderfulxT]

botting will cause more harm to the game than selling gold. i would quit wow if there are too many botters, but i won't quit if many ppl buy gold from farmers. they can buy with their own will but it doesn't really ruin the game play.

[luvnaruto44]

LOL he had PERFECT english when he said World of Warcraft.

[AuReZo]

@luvnaruto44 LOL. Yeah he did :L

[wrath1132]

at 1:37, that didnt look like fucking cabbage and rice to me, it looked like rice and maybe some chicken...? i smell a liar??

[killnazis100]

poor things thay are forced to play as mony slaves

[stephenharperbest2]

LOOOOL the reporter said world of warcraft perfectly

[Sharmilka]

I was surprised too:D He is German, though :D

[pg6t55]

sounds american

[KurasDaedron]

@stephenharperbest2 most europeans are bilingual

[hyperandinluv]

oh my gosh. i always thought that the chinese gold farmers were funny but now that ive seen this that is so sad! im sorry for you that have to do this bc you ran away :( ill pray for yall!

[toyoldx]

That's really sick.Maybe it just goes to show that how cheap humans can get to fulfill their own needs sometime :/

[cozos]

This is how capitalism works.

For someone to profit somebody has to get fucked over.

[Anomalousness]

yes- and the people who do well out of capitalism demonise and sometimes destroy any ideology or regime with socialist traits/leanings- its very interesting how this game is imitating life so accurately

[stonebridge999]

Thanks for posting

[wildyriot73]

wow the bit at the end is sad =L

[Heavymetalisforlife]

Damn, i fell bad i bought some...

[synicalx1]

not the greatest thing to say out loud, blizzard can contact you tube and get your IP address and then bliz can track your IP to a particular account and ban it - permanently

[milestonedd]

thats soretarded. for one youtube values its users privacy, they cant give out ip's like that, much less blizz wouldnt go after 1 random person on youtube. think about it. have you ever tried contacting youtube admins? obviously not, theyre lazy as hell.

[hrocky101]

Because they'd really be bothered to do that -.-

[iceland10000]

I wish i could say to that kid " i know its embarrasing to go back to your parents but its better tha this"

[gtvenom11420]

It's sad.

[MrsRandomMadeMeDoIt]

can some 1 anwser me why the fuck these ''bosses'' don't just use bots it can farm like 40-50 gold per hr and it runs ALONE, u can run like 4-5 accounts on 1 computer and u never need to toutch it. and belive me u NEVER gets banned not if u know what ure douing!

[gottistar]

u idiot, they dont use bots because they run the risk of losing accounts of there own and others who pay them to power lvl there accounts, you dont think they wouldnt have thought of that already?? and to say your ACC never gets banned is pretty stupid, and yes of course if u know what ur doing??!! you go from saying thats its fool proof, to saying it could happen?? you make pretty stupid points.

[wildyriot73]

bots would cost, there cheap cunts, they don't care about anybody.

[EdwardMerriman360]

Well the question is, is there a BETTER job on offer to these people than being gold diggers?

For example a waiter, shop assistant, soldier etc.

For most of the time the answer is NO.

So in fact, these jobs are giving them LIVE but at the expense of slavery where as if they had no job at all they would be starved to death/malnourished.

[lcdmatthews]

...Si beliveten zuben schieza... World of Warcraft... Heizen gut val spielen gait huden...

[Thumpx111]

I've seen other videos, some places working conditions aren't to bad actually, the food isnt bad either, you can smoke, do whatever ya want, you just have to meet your quota. It's really hard to get a job in China, and these guys aren't paying any bills and they get free food

[garsija1058]

wpw rlz

[dozerdeath24]

Forced to play? No they aren't, they have a choice to play or not, In return they get a pay but not a lot but at least they are doing what they want to.

[ogranz]

They must lose alot of money from the internet bills... A good connection can hold 2 WoW's playing, and they have.. 140? Jesus...

[Penzacole]

Meh? Why women buy cosmetic to begin with?

[NiobNeo]

Lol, he had to read the name of the Game from a piece of paper.

[counterIife]

they took that way out of context, because the gold farmers are paid for their work,(not forced) and most of them actually play the game itself..

[mozesty]

saw how his voice changed when he said "World of Warcraft?"

[opinion56]

ya when he said world of warcraft his accent like went away lol

[fizz489]

Lol!

[franzag]

cmon... forced to play? its worst than stay 12 hs making farm jobs? thats hard...

disinformation as always works in this type of issues to german people.

[Ewqa8]

Huh! germs are first to comment the 'slaves of WoW' while they're crazy themselves and keep offending others. Go to hell with your hitler, germs!!! (BTW: I am from Poland...)

[aubirdforce]

Hitler is dead. He didn't sell virtual currency either. What's your point? Bias much?

[seriall1337]

The generation of WW2 people is almost gone. Stop blaming Germany for the WW2 because most germans these days does not have ANYTHING to do with it.

And no, I'm not german.

[NiobNeo]

But they DO offend Poland and they DO give a shit about Our lands they want to claim for therselves. Nearly every week I see on tv, in the net, in the newspapers how they agressive and offending Us. I see you do not know about it much...

[counterIife]

why dont you make a name for people that act like what you describe as "germs" and not germans themselves, because the news company and the reporters made the story, not the whole german nation

[NiobNeo]

But the representants of the whole german nation, who represent the state of their country, DO offend Us.

[ging4649]

It's not that easy of a job, when I was farming for my epic flyer. I farmed for like 7 hours a day, gaining probably way more money than these guys do, and I was doing it in a more fun way, while listening to music, and it drove me nuts. I don't think I could do what they do for 12 hours a day.

[milestonedd]

What a whimp!

[ItsMeWT]

Michi lacht euch aus... hehe

[Namqula]

thats sad...

[tashtigo]

supply and demand.

this is the price of globalization. if you are north american and u are really really disturbed by this vid, then i feel sorry for you (you're clueless about how the world runs).

i will say this beats the heck outta being in the human trafficing/child sex slave worker circuit.

[koreanweed123]

they probably just saw a guy outside and made stuff up while they were talking

[fumbli]

if your life is so bad then go back to your parents im sure you couldnt be that imbarresed... and if you are seriously being imbarrased will go away but playing 12 hours a day wont.

[blatrla]

For fucking sake i didint see anything sicker in my life to do something like that just cause of stupid game!

[xTraiNxWrecK]

go pick some rice gook cunts

[lacrymosa2]

Go suck some dicks, moron. LOL

[koreanweed123]

its not gook, gook is korean u fucking white piece of bread. ur suppose to say chink

[Fredthefish12]

Those Bosses are dickheads I hope they burn in hell Besides blizzard will be taking money away from players if it was traded by another player over 50g and if it is mailed over 20g

[FrambledEggs]

He said World of Warcraft so perfectly!

[tomme0]

Stop AUTOING in Runescape, ITs ruin for everyone else there its nearly impossilbe to train woodcutting because of autoers!!!!

[hweenmask]

i auto in rs and im not gona stop it hehe:) i want cash! red h ween mask 300m and more from autoing. im not stoping it cuz it ruins the game for ya boy. i get money:)

[Codyyomama]

lol its hella funny how he says World Of Warcraft he says it like perfectly

[DeuceOnFace]

force teens

id be like sweet ok hahaha as long as you feed me ill play all day

[floyd2303]

feed me and I'll play all day .. WOW ! you really must be a fat looser.

Stop wasting your time on a computer game...

[DeuceOnFace]

or a kid who works 8 hours a day at a job i dont like to pay rent and food while going to post secondary ? if yuo go look at the profiles of most pro gamers, youll see they are not fat....

[Zraythe]

If the place is indeed somehow forcing people to work there, then I am all for shutting it down. But I just don't see it. I used to play WoW 12 hours a day, but I didn't get paid for it. Lucky them.

I'd rather play WoW for work than stock shelves, answer phones or work in a coal mine.

[RevOGx]

Yeah, but 100 euroes a month... 16 yr olds on there very first job get like... £200 a week atleast..... and 1 euro is half a pound... so thats about £200 a month, comapred to £200 a week in a normal job.

[adonis1077]

if they didnt force them, which would still give them a profitable business, they would get a lot more workers. But This, This is really saddening.

[Zraythe]

2 of 2

If the person accompanying the hidden camera is a 16 year old student, that means he is in high school. If he is in high school, where most Chinese stay from 7:00am to 6:00pm or later, how can he work 12 hours a day? So part time is offered. That means the employees have a choice. If the wage is so bad, why didn't the documentary say what it is?

Chances are they are getting paid decent wages by Chinese standards, and NONE of them are there against their will.

[Jonah196]

He might not be in highschool.

[hweenmask]

umm u fucking faggot didnt get it huh? those people dont go to school u fucking retard... god how can people be stupid geez

[Zraythe]

This looks misreported to me. I'm from China, and if some evil employer was treating me like crap and not giving me enough breaks or pay, I'd simply leave and find another job. It's not that hard. NO ONE can force 140 adult males to work against their will.

They have that job because they chose to work there. Period.

1 of 2

[Dragon2sword]

Exactly Zraythe

[soluble2]

just to say to anyone who buys gold from farmers.. did you know? you are acctually doing deals with CRIMINALS. yep thats right. this report prooves it. blizzard say it is against tos. PLUS they say its illegal to do it on wow. PLUS the official authorities say that chinease buisnisses like these up here ^^^^^ are illegal. so unless you want to get fined/locked up. i sugest you stop buying gold from gold farmers and get it yourself

[aaronjim]

It's not against the law to buy pixels from China.

If it was against the law, sites like IGE would not stay up.

[Placentah]

Either it's the German TV's fault or it's the translator's fault, but the english subtitles are wildly off from the Chinese ones, and in a bad way.

[minkyspoon]

its hard for them to get jobs, tbh if i heard that il think ace a fun job, but i couldnt live of rice n cabbage.............

[subftw2798]

haha chinks got it rough

"you sit here u kill boars u skin boars 12 hour then sleep then cabbage rice and all over"

[desertraven]

The problems in china have always been there - it's not like WoW has started anything, and I'm sick of all these new documentaries coming out telling me I should feel bad for them, give them space, and buy their product. No. Whether you're making tshirts or farming wow gold, you're in a sweatshop. So why don't you get a job that makes a product instead of inconveniencing players who try to enjoy the game?

[chjustin69]

if any fucking azn / chinia kid wants to pl me PM ME :P

[eugene188]

even as a Chinese Born Canadian who has lived in Canada all my life, i would never think of running away. and if i did, like the kid said "too embarrased to go back". its like, you bring shame to your family, and relatives. its a different culture that North Americans cannot yet understand. i've known people that have ran away then just went back home.

next time you're on the street, take a note of how many street kids are asian, and how many are caucasian or black.

[ScarFaze90]

tbh money in wow means nothing .. you buy mount you buy flying mount .. thats about it ... and most items you get are bind on pickup

[MrsRandomMadeMeDoIt]

theres something i don't understand... back when i played before i decided to quit i looked in to botting and programming after like a week hard work i made up a bot it costed me like 10$ and some hard work !, this bot could NOT be tracked by blizzard and it made me ALOT of gold and ALOT of xp ! i had more than 12 lvl 60s and more than 10k gold !, now ive stopped cus i find the game pointless... why aren't they running bots 24/7 they work harder than people and costs NOTHING i don't get it ????

[soluble2]

I totally agree with you.. but im not sure if people who play wow that are chinese can get banned... you can DEFINATLY get banned for botting. it may take you 1 minute to 1 decade to get banned for it but you will eventually be banned. but i dont think chinese people get banned from wow.

[ObsTheGreat]

That's what I was like. Minus the selling the accounts part. But my computer went splode and no WoW for me right now. ;-; Play, Sleep, Dream/think about WoW xD

[1loco69]

Even if they are deadly ill, they will not say because of pride. different culture, don't blame that.

[kasei0]

Is it so hard to just swollow your pride and go home? I don't buy it.

[goblinkilla]

I don't know the culture their, but they might have a higher pride/respect factor... Like the runaway is the only link to passing on the family name, and to run away! *shrug* IDK the kid is only 16, so his mentality might not be as realistic.

[wackystu]

Do you really think that they are so shallow minded that it has to do with family, and that they havnt already tried going home? Knowing china there probably isnt a home to go home to. In China its allready extremly hard to find a job, let alone a job which they get to play games and is not physically tiring. World of warcraft is allowing many chinese people to escape tiring physical labour, even if it does mean being exploited mentally on a game.

[Exhiei]

lol learn how not to runaway from parents step 1 step 2 find a different job step 3 buy gold from those people to help the community out j/k scratch step 3
