There's also supposed to be a group that does this for Xbox Live Achievements and the online Leaderboards.

It would also explain how some pennyless noobs in this game - who claim to work 40 hours a week on top of college - can muster up 3 jobs to 75 in less than three months time with said jobs and college in play. And then somehow they've become really successful with gil.

Outsourcing.... rapidly becoming the American way.

These people become very apparent when they have skills none in party.

"This is just a job. It does not matter how we make our money as long as it's not immoral."

So... I guess saying you'll abide by certain rules and then blatantly breaking them is not immoral in China.

Re: MTV- The Real Price of Virtual Gold

The difference between the two games is basically the source of income. In FFXI the only enemies that drop gil are humanoids and certain notorious monsters. Almost everything in WoW drops currency or something valuable enough to be sold to vendors for currency. The farmers in WoW don't have to monopolize anything because everything drops something, unlike FFXI where there's a select few items worth farming and a select few places to farm them.

I do feel bad for them. I know what it's like to work a crappy and humiliating job, and it would suck if people were out to stop me at every turn. If only they knew of the few sites out there that they can sell their currency without having to go through a broker and taking the kick to the profit.
