I never said they were stupid, they just don't care about prices and therefore do not know.

Back in the days when thousands of Chinese farmers famed Griffons, you could buy rare skinned-weapons from them for 1K. A normal player would've asked 100K + ecto's for them.

Chinese Sweat Shop farmers don't watch wiki or stay in Kamadan to check prices. For them, a gold item is a gold item. They make no difference between an Elemental Sword and a Short Sword. Even if they did know, they wouldn't have the time to stand in an outpost without earning money.

If anything, the Bunnies and Eggs are annoying for them because they can't be merched for quick cash, but to sell them, time has to be wasted. Sure, some of them might sell if they have alot, but it's not like all of these farmers waste their time with communicating with other players.

every single player in this game is a gold farmer, if you ever got gold in this game by killing a monster, selling something to merchant or trading (which is everybody) youre a gold farmer, some are just better at it then others. Dont confuse farming with botting and gold selling. One is ok the others aren't.

To answer the question, let me ask another question, how do you feel about trading interaacting with pedophiles and rapists in GW? yeah its a dumb question because you cant help who you deal with, but its the same thing, as long as youre not doing anything wrong (trading in game items for in game gold is not wrong) then who cares who it is especially since you cant ever be certain.

If the Chinese Sweat Shop farmers by chance DO farm for the bunnies etc (which would be a silly move cause more profit would be made by just merching them and continue farming), it would be better for the economy. The more of these items enter the market, the lower the price drops.

I still doupt that these players who don't play the game, probably get their characters dragged to Bergen Hot Springs by someone else, don't care for the game and play the game like a Zombie (Really, doing the same farm run over and over and over again every day of the week, barely getting sleep isn't healthy) know about the game. For them it's a job. They just farm and farm and farm. They probably don't even know what Underworld or FoW is unless they play the game in their spare time.

So? These companies trying to sell gold for real cash don't have any impact on the game as I play it. I just see 2 or 3 more warriors with black-dyed FoW armours in an outpost, but that's about it.

Since you have no way of knowing how anyone acquires anything in game, transactions need to be on an innocent until proven guilty basis. Your criteria for "knowing" isnt proof enough. My opinion anyway.

Its up to Anet to stop RMT, bots and farmers under real life employment to the best of their ability. I'm not going to play a game where I need to stop and consider the % chance of someone's legitimacy every time I wish to make a transaction, nor will I purposefully go where its more expensive in a self defeating attempt to change those odds.

That said, I have outright quit games, permanently, where cheating or RMT actions simply got the point where it was no longer transparent, which killed the "point" of playing and trying to make "progress" in the game, from my standpoint. Guild Wars is an odd one in that progress in game is really only about skins, at least for most things purchased, so RMT is a little different here, but no less annoying.

Everything is naturally going to get cheaper... more money is brought into the game by loot of monsters etc...

And my opinion? They are also ruining the economy.

Q: What's your opinion on purchasing items from gold farmers in game?

A: Until there is a way for me to absolutely, without a doubt, tell who's who, and what's what, I'll continue to buy away.
