China Bans Gold Farming.... NOT!

Trust WoW Gold Facts to bring the cold, hard facts to light.

Early this month, InformationWeek published shocking news that "China Bans Gold Farming." Anti-RMT zealots and those who have too much free time rejoiced albeit short-lived.

The real deal is, that China didn't ban gold farming in any way. China only had this problem with QQ coins (virtual currency in China or whatever) and they didn't want the QQ coins to compete with their real currency. This is further reflected on the title change at InformationWeek's article because of how incorrect it was.

EGF recently got a response from an anonymous gold farmer who sheds further light on the issue. The truth about the Chinese virtual currency issue. It's great inside info from someone outside the looking glass.

Go on, read it. Gold farming is not a crime. It gives people jobs. It is not against any law. Before you start slinging your high moral standards against a legitimate business, get your facts straight first.

Pigs signing out.
