There's no law for it yet. But our main product, the top-up card, is mandated by law to be taxed. We do pay taxes but not directly for the sale of each item. There’s no law for it yet.

If it reminds property, it reminds taxes. That's my comment to the first poster. Does LU pay taxes for each cool super hat that it sells GM T? ;-) Back on topic, thinking here, I don't really mind those farmers. If they play by the rules and someone wants to pay for whatever they produce, that's fine by me. I don't do that and I don't recommend others to do it for many reasons, game rules and account security mainly. What really breaks a game in my opinion is botting and other means of cheating.

The only different is that he still had a full time job but whenever he stays a home he gold farmed with his partner. He is doing this for more than a year now. While for him its not feasible for local games when he tried doing the same strategy in one online game in the country. Whats your stand on this ? in most cases its considered illegal for most game publishers but if it can give jobs to unemployed filipinos maybe it can be re-considered ?
