[edit] Rearranged parts of the article
I've revised the page a bit so there isn't all this "further research" and Q&A-like junk gumming up the page. 208.127.155.92 (talk) 03:39, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Changes made to information regarding Jagex/Runescape
Anyone with even a slight understand of how the mostly Communist country of China works will understand what I am saying. There is almost literally NO WAY any gaming "sweatshop" could ever operate in China. There are thousands of reasons why it wouldnt work. Not only is the entire idea of gaming sweatshops ridiculous but its just not plausible in a Communist country like China.
Added the following:
However, this, in no way, can be proved. The idea that an insignificant company such as Jagex would have sufficient foreign affairs to aquire these details from otherwise communist countries is absolutely absurd. On top of that, the government of China enforces many strict rules regarding internet usage. The country itself actually uses their own firewalls which block many things. The idea that any company in China would have the resources to buy numerous computers, networks, and pay for internet usage (not to mention paying for the "slave" labor) is preposterious. The most logical assumption we can make is that Jagex lied about this entire story in order to gain player support for new updates. The facts are staring us all in the face - the costs to run a "gaming sweatshop" far outway any monetary gain. Thats even if it was possible in a country like China; which it clearly is not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.37.228.61 (talk) 07:16, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
You do realize that Andrew Gower is one of the richest people in Europe right? That to me doesn't seem very insignificant. At any rate Jagex is not the only company that has problems with gold farming. See macroing... Dagorlad 3 (talk) 12:46, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
