"personally, they can die - it's too bad their country is in such dire straits that this is considered a viable form of income"

This is an incredibly assanine view of the problems that accompany globalization. The endless whispers aren't typically from the farmers themselves, but rather the result of "marketing efforts" by the companies they work for. Its easy to maintain the 'let them die' attitude, when you're 10,000 miles away. I bet you'd feel differently if your roles were reversed.

This is just a game. If they found a way to make a few extra dollars, then farm away. Just be prepared to face the wrath of Blizzard I say...
