I have used things like are posted in this thread in desperate times and may use some of them again.

If you don't like them just don't use them.

If you think everyone can just go out and get something better then you clearly don't understand the situation

Path of exile is probably the easiest to do real money trading with since it's free to play. If you're good at it you can make 50-100 exalts in a day and get about $1 for each most leagues.

There's a goon in Creative Convention who's claiming to make over 500$ a day by self publishing hastily written erotica on Amazon. Financial woes, begone!

I can't even come up with a way to make fun of this post

Just thinking about it feels like someone is holding live electrodes to my temples

:confused: farming MMO currency is an entire industry. It's very real and people very much do it for a living all over the world. loving steve bannon used to do it for fucks sake.

I think most of it is done with bots but if someone is actually good at an mmo then it's just a matter of finding a way to mule out your gold to the real money trading pipeline for whatever game it is. I personally think playing a game you like for 8 hours a day and selling currency is a shitload better than working a minimum wage job, and posts like this are dogshit. If you don't have something other than trolling to contribute then just gently caress off, we get it, you're privileged and can't imagine having to do things for money that you don't love. just shut the gently caress up

point by point I guess

1. Steve Bannon owned a stake in a gold-farming company that employed Chinese workers each operating multiple instances of a given game for nickels per hour

2. These workers were, while not exactly chained to their desks and whipped, in any case exploited to satisfy the demands of wealthy western consumers and owners like Bannon. You say they were actually playing fun games all day, which you judge is a "shitload better than working a minimum wage job." Again, I have trouble even mocking this point of view, it's so appalling. Your claim that sitting in front of your computer all day monitoring Runescape in case a GM messages is similar to being a wealthy capitalist should make it clear to anyone still in doubt that not only are you totally ignorant of basic concepts like class and power relations, but you also have no common sense. You're a classic bird brain.

3. I am contributing by pointing out how misguided the "advice" itt is. I hope by doing so I will prevent you from doing any real harm to any naive goons who may have opened this thread in the sincere expectation of learning how to make ends meet

ok, I get it, you're trolling. have fun I guess.

playing path of exile I could easily generate $50 a day in in-game currency if I focused on it, only reason I don't is because my wife and I already have ways to generate money and I don't know a real money trader to link up with. If I did I'd probably already be doing it.

whippet box said his friend 'almost' paid rent with the money he got from playing Diablo all day. even in New York City, rent would have to exceed ($15/hour * 32 hours * 4 weeks/month = $1920/month) for a full-time minimum-wage job not to cover it.

That wasn't me you loving idiot

You can imagine that the argument I'm making is 'minimum wage is plenty for anybody to live on' if you like, but what I'm actually saying is, 'working a minimum-wage job is a better option than farming MMO gold all day'

Just because you cannot imagine someone else's circumstances does not mean those circumstances do not exist
