However, the wave of anger cresting from the RS gold community this week isn't at the gold farmers, it is at the people killing them (in the game).
"It is this post that disappoints me, its the blatant racist and'edgy' remarks left by people that have zero clue what it must be like to reside in a circumstance were your market is falling," composed a moderator, who locked the ribbon five days ago. The"manual" seems to have pointed out in which the prime farming places were, therefore anyone in that region, particularly killing green dragons, was a candidate for getting attacked.
Venezuelan gold farmers are in the wilderness PvP region harvesting green dragons, the selling the hides and bones that they drop in Runescape's Grand Exchange. That money computes to about 50 cents per hourwith much more innovative players getting around $2 or $3.
This story in The New York Times last week mentioned buy OSRS gold that inflation has dropped the value of Venezuela's money to half the dollar, effectively reducing minimal wage earnings to $5 a month.
I have been a part of the community because old-school came out and have never seen so much hate and racism," wrote Redditor glow_party (at a comment moved into the peak of the ribbon by moderators).
