Into the Life of a Chinese Gold Farmer

Featured Replies

Does he earn 23 U.S. dollars a month or 23 yen a month? Cause 23 yen is only like 2 U.S. dollars.

Probably 23 USD, you can't live with 23 yen a month. Bottled water alone costs 4 yen.

Twelve hours a night, seven nights a week, with only two or three nights off per month, this is what Li does ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ã

Chinese money is yuan, not yen. I should know, my parents come from China. I can speak Chinese, too.

 

 

 

The farmers aren't forced to do it, and they can get better jobs at a factory or someplace. Don't feel sorry for them.

Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall:

Wow, pretty cool. And cruel for that matter. $26 an hour? That REALLY sucks @$$ for them. And for those of you saying you hate america and whatever, go try to start a new life in china with $100. You're going to have a $h!t life.

Actually 23 yen is about 20 cents US Dollars (USD).

 

 

 

23 yuan however is worth about 3.05 US Dollars (USD).

Aww crud. Sorry for this post. Delete please.

Well it sucks that he doesn't like his job, most people don't. And I know 25 dollars a day isn't much but over in China you can get alot with 25 dollars. I've been to China once or twice before and I've seen what it's like to work out in those farms. If I were to live in China I would MUCH rather play runescape to earn money than work out in the fields.

Thanks to Stalesoul for the sig!

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

 

 

 

I agree

Actually 1 USD= 7.555 yuan, which is the currency in China and 1 USD= 155.13 yen, wich is the currency in Japan (this is acording to a diary of last thursday so it might have changed).

 

 

 

 

 

But anyway, good idea you had to talk to one of them and feel both side of the story. It is interesting, I wonder if any of them DO like the game, but I doubt it. And yes you should "interview" more of them but blur their names.

Wait, my friend said he got a keylogger and lyke he coudln't type, so I assumed it messed up his hands?

 

Congratulations, you just advanced 1 Idiocy level!

Why waste the time interviewing them or even blurr their names out. Just report them and be done with it.

How the hell can you feel sorry for those people?

 

 

 

Its almost equivalent to slaves working for our chocolate. These are just people trying to not die. Literally. You take it like they purposely farm gold to make your life, playing runescape, harder. They have no economic freedom. Ever been to china? Its not like they can pick up any job when you're competing for even the lowest rages.

 

 

 

If you're going to hate anyone, hate their bosses.

Have you ever been to China? Its not my fault they have no hopes for a future and can't do anything better than stealing from an online company. They are breaking the law by selling gold. Any sympathy is wasted on them. They are just taking up space.

How can you not have sympathy for them? They're doing this to survive. This isn't a hobby or something to do in their spare time, this is what they do every day for slave wages so they can scrape together a meager paycheck and afford food for their family that week. And yes, they are breaking the rules, but it's a necessary evil. It's like a poor man stealing bread for his family. Sure, it's bad to steal, but in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter. And, tbh, you're the one who seems to be taking up space... <.<

I'm not sure if any of you have realized this yet but they are breaking the law by stealing Jagex property and selling it.

dude...

 

 

 

i am sure there are counterfeit ppl out there other thing this that are making fake drugs, fake handbags, fake etc... okay... which r making and ripping off everyone's money on a larger scale then this...what i am saying is that breaking the law by stealing jagex property and selling it isn't like a new thing... and it shouldn't be viewed as a first. If you think about it, almost everything in the wrold is pretty much exploited one way of another to make money.

 

 

 

and the solution? y of course its our fault to begin with, how about boycotting the stuff that these fakers are selling so that they go out of business...? of course it hasn't gotten to the point where its serious...(when it gets serious...we will all find out, yes thats right, Jagex will announce that they will not continue the game because there are too much farmers.) :ohnoes: :ohnoes:

 

 

 

i am 99% sure the rs population will prob do something about it ...

Right...

China is pathetic... they don't deserve to be called communist... However, their economy is rapidly improving so soon our gold farmers might have better jobs.

Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall:

Feeling sympathy for the Asian goldfarmers isn't going to help at all. Whenever you see one, do RS a favor and report them, kill them, or do whatever to get them to stop.

 

 

 

Communism.....perfect society if it could ever exist

tbh thats not true...although the economy is increasing, its because of the massive factory productive rates just like these, but with adults and more higher wages. There will always be sweat shops still because there will be poor ppl living in poverty and homeless kids that need jobs...

 

 

 

p.s. okay do u know what a communist country is...

 

china doesn't deserved to be called communist... thats because they arn't pure communist. They are slowly switching to a capitalistic economy and are almost acting like a republic. Even in like world meetings they don't say communist china, they say people's republic of china.

 

 

 

=; Think before u blurt out stuff u don't understand and have no full knowledge of...

Right...

True to dat, bru

 

 

 

except about the feeling sympathy part...

 

 

 

I am sure we can feel sympathy for them <3: and report them at the same time...

 

what i am saying is probably when u report them maybe say something like sorry in chinese...

 

 

 

nevertheless :twisted: still report them lol.

They wouldn't be doing it if there was no market to sell the gold into. If you want to blame anyone, blame the fat, greedy little american piglets who buy the runescape gold because their society teaches them that everything should be handed to them on a silver platter with double cheese and bacon.
