Asian sweat shops? That sux. I am curious though if they live better working in the sweatshops than not. I do not keep up as I should. Is this child slavery sweatshops or people working to better their living even if it's at a cost? I am not trying to sound like a !!!!!!!. I am seriously just ignorant to what you mean and would like to be informed becuase I don't wanna be buying crap off of some slaver.

I saw a program on television that showed a bunch of kids sitting at rows of computers playing ultima farming gold to be sold online... this was about five years ago. I am truly honest and will try to find that episode.

That was 5 years ago, when Prodo gold still sold for 10-15 a mil and was sold constantly.
Then they add AoS, when you could go two shot a dragon.
Then Samurai Empire which increased luck with bushido.
Last but not least ML!
Which brought forth the days of Swoops, easy quests to get strongbox's.
AND! The cu Sidhe for those AFK tamer farmers

Gold is usless now and in abundence, you cant make money of it anymore unless you play Siege.

Cant veiw that link at work. Secondly gold is not useless or people wouldnt use it. Its inflation and thats how it works. its value has gone down that is all. Instead of using less gold now we use more because its esier to get, as long as people use gold as currency then people well sell it and it will be useful. This was only a post up to the sweatshop thing. I don't need a lecture. but love to give them.

No it really is usless, you can go solo strongbox quest in Sanctuary for a week and have a suit just as good as any pvper out there.
I promise, I did it on pac a few weeks ago to prove this to someone else.

Well on my shard people still use gold. In fact I sell and buy things all the time. dont let the other people on my shard know their gold is useless because then our economy might fail and we would have to use muffins as currencey.

Yes they still use it, im just informing you of its current worth and how easy it is to bypass the gold system these days.

But still you have to craft muffins so they would be worth more than gold because you would have to aquire the ingredients and have the skill to make them.
