Not much more info in the actual story to be honest. first time I'd seen an amount earned for the farmers mentioned anywhere.

I never can decide how bad gold farming is. I know it destroys the game economy on the other hand paying someone a small amount of cash to save me hours seems like a good idea. Then I wonder if these kids weren't doing this work what would they be doing.

Oh and if someone could add per month after $80 that would be good.

Not read the article, but it is always worth pointing out that 80$ a month may be a lot of money in some countries.

And without being flippant, playing games may be more fun than making t-shirts and trainers.
