Why are there so many vietnamese and indonesians with infinite tokens?

The thing is that countries like Vietnam only got access to new technologies fairly recently, internet games like these are like IRC in Europe 15 years ago. Not everyone had internet at home and meeting people over the internet was exciting.

Cyber cafes here in the West were already disappearing by the time the Vietnamese government started to sponsor a program to give mass internet access to its people.

It is a matter of social history and its effects on the people.

It seems as Vietnamese are acting like new rich people. It's what happened in Brazil when Lula da Silva started a national program to give internet access to everyone. Many internet games had to ban Brazil at some point because its new netizens would flood servers. If a Brazilian was banned in Warcraft 3, they would spread the word and invade.

The thing is... Don't be fooled thinking people here in the West can't buy tokens or win a bid war over an internet game, because we are dumb or because we don't have the money, we just don't see the point, it doesn't rock our boat that way.

The frustration of the opening poster is because most people here play this to chill out, this is already post-tech for us, we can't understand how someone in the other side of the world plays this so seriously and kills all the joy by overtaking a Facebook game.
