Originally by: Tala Sasaki You don't know they're chinese that's racist or some form of bigotry.
You don't know why he said they're chinese so you're jumping to conclusions.
I just really dislike how it's always 'chinese gold farmers' or 'chinese isk farmers' with absolutely no proof what nationality they are and how loosely the term is banded around accusingly so much in so many games.
That's because most of them bloody well are Chinese, and you know it. Why do you think, in documentaries on "gold farming", do they concentrate on the Chinese element? Because it's by far, the largest. -- Ralara / Ralarina |

Originally by: Ottman Edited by: Ottman on 10/05/2008 16:46:51 its so freaking easy the solution, trial accounts have to be limited, no trade, no isk transfers and then the never ending stream of 14 day trial accounts selling isk in eve will dissapear. the only way of selling isk will be linking websites then and that can be followed more easy then, less work for ccp, less frustration for us players.

Um, trial accounts cant do that anyway. I dunno about item-trading but they cant do trading with isk. They can't transfer isk, they can't do contracts...
If you're talking about denying them access to the Market, you may as well just remove trial accounts since they'd never be able to get out of their Velator or Ibis. -- Ralara / Ralarina |

It's only racist if you think it's racist.

How cash can change online games
Geoff Iddison, chief executive of Runescape maker Jagex [...]"A lot of this is coming from China," he said. "We had tens of thousands of accounts in China that were just bots working the game to make gold and then sell it."
^^ stumbled on that, randomly, today on the BBC website.
And here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_farming
It has an entire section on China, but not on any other countries... I wonder why?
It's not racist or stereo-typing when you can back it up with facts and figures.
The majority of isk/gold farmers come from China, that is a fact.

There are gold farms in many countries even western ones but you and many others don't want to see it, it's so much easier for you to just see it as a 'chinese farmer' someone for you to direct your hate towards.
I don't hate them - I don't know them. Any "gold farmer" is bad. Calling them a Chinese isk farmer is just more simple.
Unless you're saying that to call someone Chinese is Racist, I don't see what the problem is.
Quote: Using "facts and figures" to justify stereo typing and prejudice well if you can't see how ridiculous that is... well I'm done here.
Would you prefer it if we said Asian Isk Farmers then?
People-from-poor-countries Isk Farmers?
When the BBC say it's mostly from China, when the owner of another MMORPG says it's almost exclusively from China and when the Wiki entry has an entire section on China, I'm going to go with the notion that they're mostly Chinese.
That isn't racist. -- Ralara / Ralarina |
