I can attest that both volume and sales of FFXI Gil has fallen immensely over the last month. It has absolutely decreased the amount of virtual currency available in the open market.

Don't know about this virtual buying, but if I am paying cash I want the real thing. This goes along with putting food in a grave so you have something to nibble on on your long journey

Correct me in I'm wrong, but from my understanding of the law that was passed, it's the other way around – meaning it doesn't ban gold farming. What the law aims to eradicate is the use of virtual currency (China QQ coins) to purchase real world items. I think this is the more pressing problem for China since the government doesn't have stake in the virtual currency; so theoretically, the government loses out on its potential earnings. On the other hand, if real money was used to buy virtual items, then there is an inflow of REAL money into the government. I don't think China would want to stop money, more importantly, American dollars or euros from going in to their economy.
