Sweat shops?

Question

Has anyone heard of people cheating on online games,mainly world of warcraft, by buying usernames made by forcing people overseas and having them play to get at a higher level? Also its not always in a sweat shop. I also heard there are people starting businesses and making millions. Should this be allowed or not? Please support with why.

Answer 1

::nods:: There's plenty of "levelling services" out there - some might qualify as sweat shops, depending on the particular service. Typically, they work in conjunction with the gold-sellers; essentially, the person takes an account, force-levels, and any of the stuff that they collect (using a routine procedure to maximize gold and XP) along the way gets sold on the auction house. Quite an interesting business model, really.

Personally, I think that neither of them should be allowed. The gold-farming causes unnatural inflation via price-fixing, which any economist will tell you is bad. What's worse is that they go after rare, particularly needed items, and auction them - meaning that you pay real cash to get the gold... that you then give to them by buying the auctioned items. Creates a nasty cycle.

As for the levelling services - it just creates players who don't know the world, don't know the class skills, and don't appreciate what it takes to get there. Someone who has played the way to 60 themselves knows the locations, knows what the character is capable of (both in the past and at current), and knows more of the lore of the world. Using a levelling service is like reading the end of a book without ever reading the rest of it.
