With China out of WoW

Does this mean we’ll see more gold/bot farmers on N/A and other region servers?

0/10 bait.

You can already see them if you open your eyes.

None on my server but there were a ton back when I first started during BC. I don’t mean farmers, I mean mean RMT bot sellers.

You have to know where to look. They pretty much run on every server.

Bot farms make money pay ccp tax/bribes they will still be here unless blizz finds aay to ip ban asia they will always be here.
Also there are Na/SA bot farms and gold sellers so yeh.

Probably will see more from the S. American servers, not necessarily a bad thing, due to Blizzard expanding marketing there.

It’s generally low priority in the USA. There are plenty of Americans doing very obvious illegal things in plain sight online. A bunch of people I used to know over the years had reported scams and much worse criminal activities and I doubt anything was ever looked into. If there is money to be made, organized crime will find a way.

In the us they can sue you to bankruptcy, in china not a chance if the scam/bot farm is paying that ccp bribe.

Sounds about the same everywhere. Pay off the right people who have their hands out and your problems mysteriously disappear. At least for a while. People who have their hands out never are satisfied with how much money they have in the bank.

Pretty much how it works over there as long as they are high enough up in the party chain your untouchable unless you tick off someone higher.

VPN. Google it.

Vpns dont work against govs that control 1/4th the internet access points.

They do. Just not many options. 5 seconds of googling:

Not when they can shut down your access and force the ips to turn over data which is their m.o.
Also vpns only worked in and around hongkong because they had more western protections/freedoms until ccp decided they were done tolerating the 50yr deal.

Well of course they can shut stuff down. It’s a game of cat and mouse. I never said using a VPN in China would be easy. As for forcing over the IP’s. Hate to break it to you, but that stuff happens everywhere. There’s only about a dozen or so VPN’s in the world that explicitly do not keep logs. All the rest (including all the ones you probably have used) keep logs and will happily hand them over to your ISP for copyright infringement notices.

This is one of the few VPN’s in the world that is actually safe to use because it doesn’t keep logs:

Yea vpns do keep logs they are forced to or face immediate shut down it just takes longer to get the data courts have forced nord and the like to identify users in the past.

Seeing what China is poised to do to Hong Kong, as well as the state of many third world countries, I don’t think I can get on the train that post-colonialism is a good thing. Western influence may be viewed as an evil but it is the least of all evils from how the late 20th and 21st centuries have played out.

Well that wasnt colonialism china was forced at cannon point to hand over hongkong so the brits could use it as a port. Eventually they didnt need it anymore and couldnt afford the costs after ww2 til around the 1990s and agreed to turn it over under the condition it would be democratic for 50yrs.
Well ccp said fudge that and took golden ticket under the turnip and locked it down by force.
