A few years ago, something odd began to happen in a video game known as Old School RuneScape. In the beginning, there were numerous new players in the game, and they were all performing their tasks in the same way. They were in the game for hours on end, doing the same thing in a loop. Killing green dragons, and collecting gold. Killing more green dragons, and harvesting gold.

It was pretty obvious that the players who were new were gamers refer to as "gold farmer." They were making gold winning the game, but then they converted the gold they won in the game into money by selling it off to other players on underground sites. It's been happening for a while, and all games don't allow it, however it's not stopped.

The problem was, what was the reason for suddenly having so many new players to Old School RuneScape? The answer lay in one single collapsed economy. Venezuela. Rampant hyperinflation was undermining the local currency old school rs gold. For thousands of Venezuelans Gold from video games was a source of shelter.
