True, when your on your first charactor you salvage and keep everything.
But after your first charactor most people dont save salvage materials, you need the space for mods, weapons, offhands, shields, dyes and other things. To be honest the only materials found in most peoples storage are materials that they feel like they can make money on...... like wood for parchement and parchment itself.
And how many people do you know that have actually had all the materials required to make Droks armor by the time they get there? When I got to Droks I sure as heck didn't have the:
200 iron + 28 Steel to make Platemail (15,500 total) or
200 iron + 128 Tanned Hides to make Glads (13K total).......
So if you dont have all the materials you have to buy them

Nope. No need for massive amount on gold in the game. Glad there are others out there that are discovering this... Generally speaking I try to keep around 20 to 30k for armors or whatever... but that's about it...

I rarely have much more then 30k... Which often gets me laughed at in Guru. as most in here think if your not uber rich, your a n00b... whatever... But in reality... almost every great item in the game is available as a collector item variant or a drop from a boss...

most I have had at one time was like 40k. That went quick though. I had just went thru characters leaving about 1k on them & just deposited the rest into storage. I was talking with a guildie on the guild channel when I saw someone selling a sup vigor for 32k. So 10 mins my storage acct was at 36k. think I have actually finally gotten it back up to 31k again. usually I hover between 10-18k in storage.

1) Bragging rights.

3) Perfect weapons in rare skins -> more bragging rights.
4) FoW armor -> more bragging rights.
5) all of the above in black plus full storage with nothing but 255 stacks of ecto -> ultimate bragging rights.

In short, no you don't NEED more than in the region of 15K at any point in the PvE game (to buy Droknars Armor), but to some it's kindof a game in itself.
