China bans gold farming

Comments

• I do not see this happening... Seeing as how the chinese gold farming operations work, it is nearly impossible for China to pull this off. Sites such as www.MOGS.com are USA based and the games they sell are USA based, granted a majority of the supply there is from players in the USA some comes from China gold farms... if China is going to ban they are going to focus on domestic games to China, however the level of corruption in China at a local level is insane so for the State wide government to do this they have to get through the corrupt local government... All I can say is good luck! Posted by jim, United States
• The interpretation that the new regulation is about gold farming has spread like wildfire. Unfortunately, it is not correct – the regulation is about the Chinese government staying in control of currency movements within the country. It’s not targetted at gold farming, and unlikely to have much of an impact on gold farming.

• This will definitely result to loss of jobs. The We experienced the recession already, this looks another form of it. Many are thankful of the jobs made out of the gaming industry. What will happen to these people just like the student featured on an article.

• As a gamer, I was alarmed about this news. I thought WoW is included and it's a good thing that I read an article which clearly explained that China is after the banning of QQ coins. Might as well share it with you:
