This web page has some ads for World of Warcraft related sites - one of them lets you buy "gold" for real money, and they even tell you approximately how long it will take to be delivered. Does this mean you are paying to have someone else (presumably in China, India, Russia) play the game for you?
If you're talking about the Google ads on our site, we don't have much control over what keywords trigger what ads. If you're talking about the practice of people buying "pre-made" high level characters, yeah, I agree, that's completely insane, but a pretty standard MMO practice. For many MMO games, it's all about the levels, and some people don't have the time or desire to level up the regular way and just want to jump into it for the "good" stuff. I don't like to be too judgmental of others gaming practices, but buying high level characters, in-game items, etc., using real world money seems very wrong to me.
