| #5 Easy - I play on a PvP server when I was active gaming in WoW (with a bunch of others - you'd be surprised how many old veterans you find in this game). You spot a "gold farmer", you kill him. If there's more than one, you get a posse and kill them all. Repeatedly. "Ni hao, now die you fsking gold farmer" |

| #2 Well, it is possible to play without buying gold, I've never done it. What's stranger... the localized for-Chinese-people version of WoW is two major versions behind, last I checked, because of a bureaucratic insistance that having skeletons present in-game would be obscene in Chinese culture and tradition. (Note that not only do no other east Asian countries have such a restriction, but there are other online games in China that seem to have skeletons with no bureaucratic problems whatsoever). |

| #1 I quit on-line video games the day I learned that people in China mined virtual gold for people who played WoW in North America. |
