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.

I'd f**king do it.
after reading the article the simple thing to do to get rid of the buying of gold from 3rd party 'Unknown' sources is for the games comapny to sell it at a better rate which would also earn them some extra cash in the process...
