Rules and Enforcement
Many game developers expressly ban gold farming in their game's EULA or terms of service.
Game developers such as Blizzard and ArenaNet are combating gold farming by including real-money transaction systems within the game environment itself. This makes it more difficult for third-party gold farming companies to compete with the in-game market, but individual players still work as gold farmers (especially in developing countries) by trading game items for real money.

“Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence: in other words it is war minus the shooting.
”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“For 350 years we have been taught that reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man and writing an exact man. Football’s place is to add a patina of character, a deference to the rules and a respect for authority.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
