China farmers i can explain. Imagine a call centre selling insurance, a complex where everyone has a computer and a phone and their one goal is to sell insurance. Now replace the phone with RS. They play RS all day long as their job, 'farming' items i.e green hide and d bones or yew logs etc, sell it for cash and get GP. This GP goes to the owner of the centre. They get paid a minimal wage for doing this. THe owner then sells it on the internet for real money, therefore the business makes profit. Say for example that they earn 500 k a hour, making around 5mill a day, that fetches the owner say $25, where as the staff that got it get paid $10 each. THats an example btw. Mark.
