If the Chinese government has blocked access to the World of Warcraft game then it doesn't matter what server they're on. If the people doing the blocking are worth keeping on the job, then they blocked all of the IPs that WoW uses, especially the game servers all over the world. Otherwise, why block any of it because it'll just keep right on going and no one would even notice. If the only thing that is blocked from China is the main website, then I LOL at the Chinese network people, but I rather doubt that is the case.

I know these people are based in China, but they are farming on European and US servers. I absolutely understand how eCommerce works, it's my day job :P I’ll make a minor edit to this as perhaps it wasn’t clear, the final line meant “they aren’t farming on chinese servers” as opposed to “they aren’t farming in China anyway” which is what my whole article was geared to, hence the Chinese servers being down making no difference.

First you say it makes sense for the Chinese to gold farm as they would be better paid then if they went for an "average wage job". Then you say "they aren't farming in China anyway". Remember, this is the internet, borders don't make a difference who you sell to, I can "farm" in china, then sell to some Americans over the web. Perhaps you misunderstood how eCommerce works. this article makes no sense.
