A few years ago, something odd began to happen in a game known as Old School RuneScape. It was apparent that there were many new players joining the game, and they were all performing their tasks in exactly the same way. They would be there for hours, performing the same task in a loop. Green dragons were killed, as was the harvesting of gold. They killed more green dragons and harvesting gold.

It was clear that these new players were what gamers refer to as "gold farmer." They were raking in gold through the game and then converted the gold in the game into money by selling it to other players on underground websites. This has been happening for a while, and many games do not allow it, yet it's still happening.

The first question was: why did there suddenly appear to buy osrs fire cape be so many new players joining Old School RuneScape? The answer lies in a single economy that was crashing. Venezuela. A frenzied hyperinflation rate was ruining the currency of the nation. For thousands of Venezuelans Gold from video games had become a currency of security.
