Libbell - Life of a Chinese Gold Farmer
This article was about a Chinese guy named Li Qiwen and tells us that he plays World of Warcraft for his job. He explains to us the game, and how World of Warcraft is a fantasy title where people create avatars and disguising themselves. The players need coins to buy gear, weapons, etc... and they get those coins by either playing until they have enough coins or paying someone else to get their coins. Li works with 9 other workers, and reports how much coins he got to his supervisor, and that's how he gets paid, by every amount of certain coins he gets, he gets paid a certain amount of money. Businesses like these that are neither owned or operated are called gold farms.
The video was showing us how their life-style was like and if they can't make money, they try to have fun playing the game together. It also shows us their life-style and how they work for 12 hours, seven nights a week, having only two or three days off a month.
