    Why be a gold farmer when you can be a gold digger?

    Just make a female character and clang to some rich male >_>

    LOL, seems you dont know what a gold farmer really does.

    They dont sell anything to anyone. They just farm currency and gear. Its the ones the farmer's work for that sell the gear and gold. All you do is farm.

    There's plenty of gold farmers around, especially in more popular games such as WoW. I don't know who'd pay real cash for a virtual equipment though. Guess ebay has everything for everyone.

    There is an informative, but not overlong article on Chinese gold farmers over on Silicon Valley.
    At any given time, as many as half a million Chinese gamers are completing quests and gathering such assets as virtual gold pieces to sell off for real money. They toil in Internet cafes and in makeshift computer labs, sometimes sleeping on cots in nearby dormitories in shifts. [...] ``It's easier than making shoes,'' said Wang Xin, 27, an entrepreneur who keeps 30 young people working in his stable of gamers. ``You don't work so hard. The physical pressure is not high. This is much less demanding than the sweatshops.''

    It seems to be the perfect job for the multitude of "idle people" in rural Chinese areas, in particular. People who have just graduated high school and spend too much time in internet cafes can turn those previously unproductive days of hackenslashen into food and shelter.
    But the mention in the above quote about sleeping on cots in dormitories is nothing short of terrifying. I know the cultural norms are different in the exotic land of China, but I've been to conventions. Even sharing a hotel room with fellow gamers for a weekend is terrifying.

    I wouldn't consider playing a video game for hours on end to be hard work. ¬¬

    there was a chinese student who made over $1M (US) selling virtual items but don't what are the chances of you earning at least $500 a month. I'd rather work at a fast food restaurant.
