Kind of sad in my opinion but peoples gotta get by somehow right?

ummm, is this going anywhere lol... sounds more of a comment than a thread. :?

Actually quite interesting.. do you speak to the players known as "gold farmers" a lot?

Please edit his name out, I don't want to have people banned. Also, I feel this is depressing. It's sad to see how bad some people have it, I live a perfect life in comparison.

I hate what has come to runescape. But i cant help but pity the goldfarmers themselves.

 

 

 

I honestly dont blame a single goldfarmer, but the people that get kids to play games they dont want so they can sell pixels for money, and pay thier workers a pathetic salary. (aka the bosses)

 

 

 

Its life, but its wrong

1+ I agree shows that they ruin the game to live, can't help but feel sorry for them.

The topic's moral: Don't just look on a situation from a single perspective. What may be right to you is not to others and vice versa. These people may be/are disrupting the game but they don't have much of a choice.

Sweatshop conditions, can't expect them to even have a chance of enjoying the game. Must be hellish conditions for them

yes i do actually i have also alot of other convos but i usually dont save em

I wouldn't go that far. Look at it this way, would you rather work in a shoe factory or coal mine doing manual labor 12 hours a day, 7 days a week... or would you rather work at a desk, sitting down somewhere indoors?

 

 

 

Excellent job Hydraweapon, that was a really cool idea to actually get to talk to one of them

Well maybe I was a bit over the top but then again, it is quite possible that I am not. I was mainly talking about the fact that they get $25 a month which really can't give them much of a life style. I should of made that more clear :^o

They aren't kidnapped and forced to work as slaves you know....There is a lot of unfairness in China yes, but these people are ex farmers/peoples parents who were farmers, whos farm land has been turned into mines/power plants/luxury housing etc.. and now they live in the cities and get whatever job they can. This migration is natural in an industrialising country but the organization of the 'peoples party' and lack of civil liberties mean that its happening unbelievably quickly and with little thought for a few million people who have to struggle to be able to eat.

 

 

 

Still if people followed the rules and didn't buy gold then there wouldn't be this problem, really the blame is on these people who buy Runescape gold for money and the Chinese 'companies' that violate Jagex's intellectual property(game).

A fascinating insight, I'm really at loss as to what to say.

It really is unfortunate that people are forced to do a mind-numbing like farming, for 12 hours. Some of them don't even like RS one way or the other.

 

But where they are, it's either a bad job or no job.

yes exactly if u guys wud like me to talk 2 more of em and translate to english?

Yeah, you really do have to feel sorry for them...

 

 

 

Yes, I'd like you to do more!

I don't really feel sorry for them, Its not like they're being kidnapped and forced to work there. Not a lot of people like they're jobs, I don't like mine, but at least its something that pays. It also might not necessarily be a kid who is playing.

This better not be another bleeding hearts thread about the poor goldfarmers :roll:

(From an American perspective)

 

I've said this many times before, and I'll say it again. What is $25? In America, $25 is minimum wage for 5 hours. You can buy half a tank of gas with it. However, you have no idea of the purchasing power $25 can have over there. $25 might be a comfortable wage to support a family. Until you have lived in the country or have a better idea of what $25 is in their country, you aren't informed enough to pass judgment of whether or not that is a "good" wage.

Hmm... that's interesting. Next time I find a gold farmer I'm going to open a translator and start talking to them.

 

 

 

offtopic: do you speak fluent chinese? thats pretty cool!

Hope he gets banned.

trust me those translators arent correct

 

 

 

yes i speak fluent chinese, japanese and english

Very nice, and thanks for letting me realize that I can apparently understand ping ying pretty well :thumbsup:

 

offtopic: how hard is it to learn japanese by the way?

Wow, this was very interesting to read. You can't help but feel bad that he hates the game but plays it to get cash. I'd love to see more. Blurr the name though..

 

 

 

By the way, anyone know what $23 a month = in other countries, like USA, Australia, etc?

Lmfao thats kool

 

 

 

Do you speak chinese alot?

 

 

 

Very funny what was he doing?
