Ya think he'll ever get just how big of a schmuck he REALLY is?

Gold farming is a multi-million dollar industry, approaching a billion depending on who you ask.

Knew that of course, what with the alt-currencies and all, but still, ya can see the non-existance of the non-employment he is pursuing...

Nah, there was articles a few years ago where they chained people in jails to computers and made then "earn" fake points or coins or whatev so that they could be traded for real monies.

Some people juggle geese, I guess. Idiot demand = supply... for idiots.
