The chinese world channel on Kronos, 20 minute sample

European players tend to fear those that speak chinese. The belief that most of them are goldfarmers, spammers, botters and cheaters is strongly shared among players, especially those coming from Nostalrius. Assuming this belief is correct, wouldn't their main discussion channel in-game (中国 = China) be representative of that? I decided to join it and see for myself.

Let's see what they talk about today, the 9th april 2016, ...

This is a 20 minutes sample. Note that I removed most duplicates (LFM and guild advertising). They spam just as much as us if not more.

Conclusion

Their world channel is full of players recruiting for guilds and trying to make groups for dungeons and leveling, with a couple questions in-between. There seems to be much more exchanges of items versus other items than on the english world channel. I could not identify goldfarmers or goldselling (although there were a couple situations were the translation was unclear).

So far, they look just like us and I don't see reasons for concern.
