    They put things on the auction house at outrageous prices to shuffle the money between accounts sometimes is what I have heard. They bounce the stuff around a lot to prevent one account from having too many money transactions. Oh yeah, and fishing pays off if you are a hunter, alchemist, or want some of the better items it offers at higher levels. You used to be able to get a decent amount of green items off of it before they nerfed it.

    I wonder if these problems are as widespread in the Rp servers? You'd think that they would be flagged more often

    Well, I'm not sure that blizzard is going to spend a ton of resources on defeating this. Personally, I'd rather have them work on bug fixes, patches, and new content than hunt down every last farmer.

    In China there are quite a few employed to farm in MMORPG's. Many of them run bots but also man the computers in case a GM messages them. They are there to respond intelligently because we all know the bot sure isn't going to.
    ...WAIT FOR IT

    the way to go is to have a support bot. A guy on the stormwind server had two accounts and one was a bot that followed him around merely as support. The bot acccount had a mage and cleric that he would "assign" to help him out. Then he played on his primary comp and only went to the secondary whenever needed. Either way, I thought it was pretty smart. Assuming you don;t mind having two accounts.

    The best is when I'm logged on as my mage and you get the pm, "Please, Water?" or something similiar. I always tell them 10g and see if they bite.

    yup...

    although I could see how this works out well if you leave in a dorm and your roommate plays but is on a break or something..
