lol sad, and this company is really sad, one not just based on gil farming, but actually xping for other people. Gil buying is one thing, but having someone xp for you, that should be illegal.

I don't even play 10 hours a week anymore, hahaha...

I wouldn't do that, especially for such little money.

But thanks to companies such as Gamersloot.net, new players now have an alternative. They simply pay someone else to do the dull repetitive work, and buy a ready-made character at a more advanced level.




Yeah... lets not play games to play them! no that would be bad. Lets let other ppl play for us and then go 'yeah I totally play {insert game title here}; if by play you mean some guy who cant really speak english played my charcter!"

OK, yes gilfarming is a serious problem we all suffer with, and it's gotten out of hand and inflation goes up and up. But, the actual job these people have is FAR from a sweat shop. I play my game for 10hours at a time at times, and don't even realize it. They are supporting thier familys with that little money they make by our standards, and they do what they have to do to take care of those families. That's why i am not dirrectly mean or condesending to these people. I don't blame them, I blame the assholes to exploit these cultures. And alot of them are quite nice, I know "Gongs" in preticular has saves my ass more times in Kuftal tunnel than i can even list, and even congrads me after beating the nastly little lizard once. Never once trying to MPK our group. And the whm with them while lvl'n my smn there tossed me cures several times to keep me alive and a R3 the one time i actually died. I'm not saying we should love these people, I'm just saying that I bet if they put these companies in the US, and paid them wages like, oh $8-10 an hour, I bet alot of the same people that bitch about these services would gladly take on a job that is so easy and can support a low income family. Just think of this when you want to /tell these people and be rude or nasty. Sometimes people do what they have to do. And no one, no matter how much they might fuck up a "game" for us, deserves to have people treat them like sub-lifeforms. (note, i am not including the ones that wish to mpk in that statement, Fuck them, they take it too far) Soooo... Yeah let the flame begin.

To me what is really pathetic is that the rich people who play the games for fun pay for leveled up characters and gil. Personally, I make plenty of money and could buy whatever, but what's the point of playing a GAME if you pay someone else to play it for you? Leveling and gil farming is paying someone to play for you...it's part of the game. Sheesh!

(Hey, Bret Favre, go in there and play some football for me, and I'll take all the credit ok?)

As for this as a job...ok...I've joked around about it being my retirement job...but if I invested all that time into a character, I'm not sure I could part with it, lol.
