DETECTING ONLINE GOLD FARMERS USING NETWORK ANALYSIS

Abstract

There are many online games having their own ecosystems, where players can purchase in-game assets using
game money. Players can obtain game money through active participation or “real money trading” through official
channels .Here gold farming group come into picture .Gold farmers, are players who stay online for extremely long hours
and farm mobs for the purpose of selling the in-game money they accumulate for real-world money. Also, any farming
bots with multiple accounts will reap more benefits for playing the game in this way while the people who play normally
suffer. So to avoid this, we are proposing a system which will target to find out such groups and block them.
