Didn't Blizz ban all China, Taiwan, Hong Kong IPs from WoW USA recently? Becoz legit players are complaining about it in WoW Customer Service Forums.

think communication is not only a language problem but understanding the game in general. i'd rather take a good player who types in broken english rather than a lousy player that can't communicate decently or is unwilling to take directions.

and errr...your post may not speak about farmers but your Post Title was Chinese Farmer. Hee hee...

The former. Everyone types broken English anyway when fighting.

I wouldn't say people are all lousy. Just that some folks don't understand how to optimize their class or they don't understand information that is already available online.

But I can tell you that I'm getting tired of repair bills. Nearly 7 hrs in Shadow Labs coz stuck at Vorpil because of lack of DPS from one person. Sigh. And when people say that they're still learning, I wanted to bash them extremely hard.

And the worst bit is that there are probably pugs out there who are getting keyed for Heroics and yet have not completed the proper instances. *shudder*

At least I'm not wearing BC epics so costs are less than 10g when completely red. I dread the day when I'm carrying epics.

careful where we're going with this discussion. starting to get a bit borderline. not quite but nearly. hopefully not too many ppl get too mad when we talk about farmers, be it that they are Chinese or otherwise.

When seen first posted it up, she was referring to Chinese-speaking farmers but not necessarily Gold Farmers. She clarified that later iin another post. Unfortunately, most people do immediately jump to the conclusion that it's a rascism promotion post as with any community forums, anyone will post anything under the sun, even to the point of instigating forum flames for it.

Probably another comparison that can be made is to the response I got when I posted about females having it tougher in a gaming community than male. Rather than negative responses, I got positive ones. Not to mentioned that I got told off (albeit nicely ) by a few people.

But, as in all forum posts, each one will eventually die down and will fade into oblivion. Only thing left is the impression that we made on the readers, be it positive or negative. And sometimes, posts like these are needed, just need to be carefully moderated. If it was possible to change the perspective of even one person, wouldn't it be worth it? A small drop in a huge ocean but we take our small victories where we can.

But like I said, needs careful moderating. It's lucky that so far we've had no serious flamers yet.

*hands out free pots of understanding, patience and forgiveness to both plaz and seen*

that suddenly didn't help.
