The only thing I fear is the health of those poor chinese workers' eyes...not to mention their overall well-being.
They might be better off doing labor work and going gold-farming only when they're too old to do labor.
Thats not to say I'm happy that they're stuck
with these options, I'm chinese also and I
feel for the 240 million impoverished Chinese....
- daniel-cussen 18y agoI've read that gold farmers usually spend their spare time playing even more WoW.
- gruseom 18y agoI've read that too. James Fallows has an interesting piece about these and other workers who populate the factory-dormitory world in China. A lot of us assume they're being exploited, but Fallows argues that they're more entrepreneurial than that. They can save enough money in a few years to go back home and buy land, something which wouldn't have been possible before. It would be interesting to know how many actually do this.
- eru 18y agoSometimes it's better to be exploited.
- rms 18y agoI also hear that chain-smoking generally goes along with the job, that doesn't help their overall health...
