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.

Famous quotes containing the word rules:
“There are two great rules in life, the one general and the other particular. The first is that every one can in the end get what he wants if he only tries. This is the general rule. The particular rule is that every individual is more or less of an exception to the general rule.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
