Hey, WoWcraft Gold-Buyers!

My only interaction with gold sellers is when I report them.

Despite the serious nature of the article, I chuckled that the chosen picture was a close-up of a blood elf female's face. Wouldn't, like, a grab of a gold seller's chat spam or even in-game images of items or gold or something have been more relevant? I mean obviously you, as the author or editor, choose WoW over other games 'cause it's got such a friggin' huge subscription base and established identity, but they may as well have just put up like a famous Chinese model or actress or something as the image.

I can see how playing forever like that is worse -- you're sedentary, abusing the crap out of your eyes, getting no exercise, and physically harmed for failure. Not that mining or assembling shit is any fun, either, but I suspect its easier to overwork someone you've got glued to a computer than someone who will more readily tire out swinging a pick or working with tools.
