ok, so one of the guys in work is hooked on WoW, and he has started to talk more freely about it as I have been talking about playing LOTRO. Our company is moving office at the end of the month, and instead of hiring a removal company to move everything from one office to the other the bosses ha said that they will pay us to do it for them. Maybe about £250 each on top of what we would be getting anyway.

So we are all talking about the extra money and what it could be spent on. The WoW addict turns round and says he has the money spent already, to which I reply-ed "Yeah same here, probably use it to buy my new monitor".

He is going to spend his on leveling up his WoW character! WTF?!

He has a lvl 70 something, and has another lower lvl character, but is actually going to PAY some company, who specialise in this, level up. To me I think this is just taking it a bit too far. I mean to actually spend money on top of the subscription fee for playing the game, he is going to pay someone else!

That is just nonsense to me.

What a retard! I suggest you to slap him. Leveling in WoW is easy now, they changed it so it takes only a while.

I dont get why you would do it tho, to me the whole point of playing any kind of rpg is to have fun making your character get better, not pay someone to give u a good one

Yeah this is what I thought. I mean there are actually "Companies" which provide this service! i.e. there are enough idiots out there who are willing to pay for this service.

You know as a business idea it is great. People pay you money to play a game. Also, if you dont have anyone paying for that, then you can just level up players and sell the account to someone via ebay. win win

I would´nt recommend taking that job :S working for basicly nothing, can partially understand that guy in one aspect though. The time required compared to actually buy this service is slim do a few extra hours at work instead of spending a days in the game.

But a real waste you can question why he´s playing a game when he acually pays others to play for him.

If I'd already reached lvl 70 and wanted to try a different class, I'd rather pay someone else to grind it up doing the same quests I'd already done than go through it all again.

They get chinese/korean people to work 12hr shifts so the character is being levelled non-stop. They also get paid shit and work in crappy conditions, much like sweat shop workers.

I can't see the point in paying someone else to play the game that you have bought- surely the idea of getting a game is to play it YOURSELF for your own enjoyment...

It would be cool to get paid (well) to play a game, but it would get so boring after a while.

I saw something about this on the Spike tv show Game Nation. I showed this guy in Romania or Hungry that has 30 people working for him in 24hr shifts leveling people accounts. He moved it their because labor is cheap. He was also saying that in 08 he was going to expand to over 100 people and would be able to retire in the next 2yrs.

farming gold on WoW is possibly the easiest way to make money ever. besides my job of babysitting a high school gym in the evening.

Win post is pretty win tbh.
When I played Runescape I used to use my brothers account for a while (Level ~90) instead of mine (Level ~20) and I got bored real quick. But when I got up to level 90 I was having so much more fun. Then quit at level 97 due to a sudden realisation of how gay RS is.
