In the US, gas prices are rising day by day. Inflation does not exist just in the reality, but also in the virtual world.

Think oil prices are high? A massive covert banning by blizzard targeted at gold farmers has crippled their operations causing the price of World of Warcraft gold to skyrocket within the past week...However, the mainstream media in its attempt to cover the surging oil prices and the subsequent effects on the "real" world have missed an even greater crisis! The exchange rate of World of Warcraft US gold has doubled from 20 USD per 1,000 gold to 40 USD per 1,000 gold in a mere week! The mainstream media with its reality bias has completely ignored this story and once again it is up to the internet to restore justice to Azeroth.

As the developing company of most pupular MMORPG World of Warcraft, Blizzard has put out some bans to save the in-game economics which brought those gold-farmers a big shock. 

As one worker for a major Chinese farming operation who agreed to speak on condition that he remained anonymous for fear of losing his job said, "We got hit hard. It always a game of the cat and mouse with us farmers and blizzard. Today they got us good. Where I work we lose hundreds of accounts and hundreds of thousands of gold. I never see banning wave this big. Some of the smaller shops may no survive or be able to pay workers."
