In terms of gaiming? A very interesting article i found.

According to Doctorow, gold farming is viewed as somewhat of a get rich quick scheme. The idea of getting 10 gamers in a room and having them play through some MMO gives the illusion of fast and easy cash. A lot of these fly-by-night, start-up gold farms don’t make it as business acumen and an expansive network (see above) is needed to make the enterprise work. Doctorow notes that in 2008, many gold farms were being set up in rural parts of China, because all that is needed are computers and an internet connection.
Food for thought?
