MMO Gold Farming Worth A Billion?

Gotta Love Gamespot
A recent article discusses a crackpot's musings on gold farming. The report speculates the practice to be worth between five hundred million to one billion dollars.

Sensationalist Trash
The so called scientific analysis is cobbled together from dubious sources. If people really are spending that much money on MMO currency then that's pretty pathetic.

Take A Hike!
If your strung out on an MMO and are forced into buying gold because you "need to." That's probably a hint that your playing way to much, I mean it could be that you need to go outside. A little sunshine might clear your head. Don't be so caught up with acquiring imaginary items.

The Jokes On You
Even if you do squander your hard earned cash on virtual items just keep in mind the game is never over. While you may have the best of everything something else will come along later. Even worse it may potentially be obsoleted with the next patch! Your a @()!# sucker if your spending your real life loot on fake life loot!
