Talk to Chinese Goldfarmers (the better way)

[metus]

There's a very easy way to talk to Chinese Farmers nowadays
If you want to test it just search with:

/who hunter dire maul

and whisper them with a nice 'ni hao' (also: hello).
If they answer with 'hao' or 'ni hao', you know they are Chinese (or they probably read this and think that YOU are Chinese).

Now I've found out that the language the Chinese use in-game is called Pinyin. They use this language because they can't really make keyboards with all the different Chinese characters on them.

To translate English to Pinyin use the following website:

Now you should try to make friends with them. Ask them if you need to reset their instances from time to time (invites) and stuff. Try to become their 'little brother'. In China it's a tradition to take really good care of 'little brothers'.

So eventually you will be able to buy items off them for little gold

I've been using this method for over a year now, and I'm not really lacking in items/gold

I know a chinese farmer, I was talking to him.. like saying:
Hey, Are you all the same person?(pally, and 4 mages) then he said yes..
A day later he started to talk to me by saying: Ni hao!
And the following question was: Do you know how to whisper a GM?
Me: Yes.
Farmer: Will you report me?
Me: No, ofcourse not brother =)

And now a couple of times when i needed the Shadowcraft parts he helped me getting them, lol

I find most of my farmers in Burning Steppes. Being a leatherworker, I ask them for any Black Dragonscales they have, and they usually give me all of those and most of their rugged leather in exchange for not reporting them and helping them farm for like an hour or so. Over the past... 2 months, i've leeched a good 400g worth of items out of them. Really ups your appreciation for the Chinese though

[Nugma]

Hah! Nice i'll try this out
Reppie, i'll go help some of them.

They thing i'm not getting is you are all talking about them being afraid of being reported. If they are at keyboard grinding then what could they be reported for? You might find chinese farmers this way but as far as them being reported they are doing nothing but playing the game.

so trying this

[Xposed]

This is the method I've always used. They'll usually respond in Pinyin, at which point you get one of your chinese friends to translate

What they do is get the items, then sell them to websites, to sell to people like us.



that they cannot do.

so use the threat I will report you, which makes them lose money.
