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.
