Talking Romance Farming
Just read this article, not that I condone it, but it's funny as hell. Essentially, this girl (or guy) farms gold by flirting with people in PUGs. They in turn shower her with in game gifts during the short virtual courtship. It's absolutely horrible as it demeans others, but it's too damn funny. This 2 week experiment netted the person about $150 USD, if you were to convert the virtual money into eBay money.

Sure as hell is more entertaining than grind farming. There's a funny part where an Asian Bot farmer flirts with the dude (or dudette, I have no idea).

Anyone have this kind of experience in GW?

Believe me, every player who advertises him/herself as being a girl, is probably a fat nerd of 50+.

Thats horribly cruel...but kinda funny, especially the bit with 'Clive'. I howled once there.

I would never get flirty with anyone online incase they did turn out to be a guy. I'd be terrified! :0

My theory about online game is DTA! Don't Trust Anybody! You really can't trust anyone who you haven't spoke with or come in contact with.

That article is hilarious.

*Hurries in-game to try it out*

Jking. But I do wonder if it would work in Guild Wars and what you could get. Would most probably end up getting some noob giving you a charr carving or something after flirting with them for ages.
