Online Game Gold Farming
Do you think that Online Game Gold Farming is ethical regardless to whether it is illegal for the actual game producer or not? Many online players in North America hire people in China to build up their online characters for a fee. The companies in China that oversee this pay their workers very little to do this and they have to work as much as 20 hours a day.
I don't really see the problem here. If it is affecting the game for other people WoW needs to step up and spend a little of that money they have to come up with a solution. I find it strange that a company who most likely exploits everyone it can at any angle would be pointing fingers claiming something is unethical or illegal. Plain and simple they don't like it because players complain about it.
From my experience Blizzard is not trying to stop this from going on all that hard. They do what they can but if they really wanted to come up with a solution I am pretty sure they easily could. It is just part of WoW, just like hackers took over Diablo. If you don't like gold farmers don't buy gold from them and report them when they spam.
I think the practice of having a child play a video game for 20 hours strait day after day is unethical, but then again look at the alternative. They good be in a factory making Nike shoes for probably the same pay.
