Lu/Tank came to Guangddong area because he was told that he could become a very rich. However, he and other people who came with were working in a bad condition with bad pay. Moreover, no one can get real paper to live there so that they buy the forged ones. Because of this reason, they are living in an atmosphere where they are scared of police because police can put them in jail. Moreover, their bosses know this fact and take advantages of them. Lu said that this is a serious problem in China where riches get rich and poor are being used.
Justbob had her whole network online. She forms the good fighters and treats them well so the fighters love her. Her mission is to take on four worlds at the same time: Mushroom Kingdom, Zombie Mecha, Svartalfaheim Warriors, and Magic of Hogwarts. She wants to seize control of the economies of all four worlds. She wants to get the majority of the gold, good items, and power. Webblies and friends of Webblies such as Leonard, the American who came ovesea into China are fighting together in order to help gather around goldfarmers around the world and make the world better. The whole point of the second half was that the majority of the main characters work together to make some good changes. During the fight for making the better world, hacks and difficult proxy changes were involved.
People are working in such bad conditions with low pay only because they are doing it for their living. This book teaches many other aspects other than just the definition of goldfarmer. It teaches the ethics, economy, culture, virtual society, and so on. Goldfarmers are still out there selling items and game money, and one can find them easily online. I Googled “buy game money” then it shows hundreds of links. No one knows under what kind of work condition these game money and items are made or found. It may be similar to the Goldfarmers from “For the Win” or not. Moreover, there are still goldfarmers out there with low payment and poor treatment. I think this issue could be related to “Fair Trade” because similar to the goldfarmers many farmers and workers from other countries worked in a poor condition with unfair trade; nowadays, fair trade help the farmers from other countries to trade their goods in a fair price. Fair trade is an organized social movement and market-based approach that aims to help producers in developing countries obtain better trading conditions and promote sustainability. The movement advocates the payment of a higher price to producers as well as social and environmental standards (Wikipedia).
Q: I talked about fair trade and how it relates to the reading. Do you guys think goldfarmers are deserved to be treated better with higher pay?
