A few years ago, something strange started to occur in a video game called Old School RuneScape. It was apparent that there were many new players joining the game, and they were all operating in a similar same way. They would be there for hours , doing the same thing in a loop. killing green dragons, taking gold. Killing more green dragons while harvesting gold.

It was apparent that these new players were what gamers refer to as "gold farmers." They were winning gold in the game and then converted the game's gold into real money through the sale of it to other players on underground sites. It's been going on for years, and most games prohibit it, but the practice continues.

The main question was why was there suddenly many of these new players entering Old School RuneScape? The answer lies in a single collapsed economy. Venezuela. Rampant hyperinflation was undermining the local currency. For thousands of Venezuelans the gold from video games was becoming a means of shelter.
