Rumor mill about Thotbot, Cosmos and IGE

Wait, 10 million?

I've always told the 2 to 3 companies that email me per week that if they want to give me a million dollars, I'll happily sell them the Lounge.  Maybe I should up my price!

I'm shooting too low!  :)

OK, score me a rube and an anachronism.

1. I don't use Thotbott, and haven't. I do not use anything that did not come with the game. (Old Habit With me.) What I learn, I learn through my own curiosity and via forum discussions. Interesting point you make, Bolty, that your model is archaic. Funny thing, quite a few fans contributed to the official site at Blizz for DII and LoD. And, it's still got errors.

2. I am curious as to the etymology of the term Chinese Farmers. Saw it on Penny Arcade last week, and in a few links to this conversation.

3. I gather that a "Chinese Farmer" is someone who finds an exploit in a MMOG and acquires lots of gold, which he then sells on ebay or at some other auction site for real dough, just as folks used to sell EQ accounts with high level chars for cash. (A guy I worked with in CT used to do that. I never played EQ, and he did not care for Starcraft, which I was enjoying at the time. We got along fine nonetheless.)

Why a Chinese Farmer?
