Re: Poll: Chinese ban gold farming, good or bad?
I have no issues with gold farmers wanting my real money while I'm playing a game that I send real money to Blizzard as well.
Blizzards business interest lies in me (through various game mechanics) to keep paying them every month for as many years as they possibly can. Gold farmers usurp the optimal amount they can get from me.
Gold farmers obviously tap into a demand. Sadly, since it has not been condoned by Blizzard (given their fear of long term lost revenues), there can not get generated a "safe and legitimate" place to buy WoW currency.
Blizzard should work out a gold option as part of their system, which would be safe for their customers thereby destroying the keylogging hackers within the gold farming industry.
Will they? Never. They are correct to be afraid of lost revenue. Grinding is the financial backbone of any successful MMORPG.
