Line 15:
* The [[Cory Doctorow]] short story "Anda's Game" is entirely dedicated to the titular character's interaction with a bunch of gold farmers in an imaginary MMORPG.
* Also by [[Cory Doctorow]], an attempt to unionize illegal gold farmers forms much of the plot of ''[[For the Win]]''.
* One character of [[Walter Jon Williams]]' ''This Is Not a Game'' makes most of his income by gold farming and
* ''[[Ctrl+Alt+Del]]'' made a comic (and now a poster) describing "MMO Hell" with major offenders being punished [[Divine Comedy]] style. Gold farmers and gold buyers are lumped together in the 4th circle; farmers are punished by being submerged in putrid soil and have to dig for gold coins that always slip just a little bit deeper into the muck, while gold buyers are weighed down by countless thousands of gold coins and have to crawl to buy their salvation from a vendor that is always out of reach.
* In the [[Live Action TV]] series ''[[Noob (TV series)|Noob]]'', one character has been bumped down to level 1 as a punishment for buying in-game stuff on a website called ''farmerchinois.com'' ("Chinese farmer").
