The World of Warcraft phenomenon might be affecting people in a more subtle way than we think. Yes, there have been some cases of dearth (allegedly) caused by over-exposure to WoW, but what's even more disturbing is that people are beginning to spend important amounts of money for this game.

I've been searching the internet for the last few months for info on how to make gold. The best tips, tricks, and techniques for grinding, and I recently started buying guides to learn more about making gold.

World of Warcraft economy is a lot like the real thing. You have products, a place to sell them, and buyers. You can also just take your items to a vendor and he'll give you next to nothing for your hard work and send you on your way. You can even buy your items back from those vendors. That's why I think of them as a World of Warcraft Pawn Shop! They give you next to nothing, and if you come back before you log off, you can get it back.
