(If someone can make it into a poll, would be nice.)
I wanted to make a poll but I don't know how to do that so do you:

Keep collecting gold/ectos/armbraces and leaving it in storage and look at it
Spend cash as soon as you get enough to get something
Saving for Fow armor
Spend it on titles
Other

This was inspired by the other thread "How much gold you have?" in offtopic and to those people who are just collecting cash, why do you do it?
with GW2 on the horizon (very very long ways away but still), why are you collecting?

myself, I've been collecting lately but I have no desire to get another fow or tormented weapon and not enough to get a uber rare mini. I might just unlock skills or buy something (dunno what yet) but I don't want to just collect and leave in storage. I hate doing titles so that's not going to happen.

do you just keep it because you worked hard for it? but why not spend/enjoy it? is it because you don't know what to get?

I keep 100k in bank an spend the rest, what's the point of having characters full of monies to just sit there an look at it? :P

GWs is my retail therapy. There's always an armor set I want or some new weapons

Spend on things I think would actually do something(new weapons, shields, etc.) and is valued in the GW community.

Heavenly Messanger · Jan 16, 2008, 01:19 AM // 01:19

I use the majority of it, but always have 50k in storage, to spoil a new character, or if i'm just in the mood to buy my characters new stuff/armor.

I usually keep saving and then when I have a lot of money I screw up like a week ago when my friend moved everything to my pvp character cause he's too stupid to know that pvp characters dont hold all the gold. I then deleted it with 100k and several ectos. I learned from that so from now on I spend everything I earn.

Jake_Steel · Jan 16, 2008, 01:22 AM // 01:22

I spend it, mainly on mini's because I collect mini's.

You can't see me · Jan 16, 2008, 01:22 AM // 01:22

I save for things I want and then I buy them when I have enough. Since I work on one thing at a time with my cash, I guess you could say I save it until I can afford the next item on my list?

(By the way, the list doesn't end.)

Nevin · Jan 16, 2008, 01:25 AM // 01:25

I used to horde it (had over a few million at one point) just hoping something would come along thats over priced and for once I'd think it was worth it to be the first to have it. Day never came, nothing ever impressed me enough. So now I just buy armor sets left and right, never FoW though, FoW = Rip Off.

Lawliet Kira · Jan 16, 2008, 01:26 AM // 01:26

I hate myself, i would have over 1 million gold right now if i didnt buy 10 15k armor sets

Lady S Shiva · Jan 16, 2008, 01:27 AM // 01:27

i have /had pretty much everything i ever wanted, guess ecto is the only thing left to collect.

shrouded^god · Jan 16, 2008, 01:29 AM // 01:29

I spend it...but Im usually saving up for something high end...then ill blow it all...then restart the farming process.

Shayne Hawke · Jan 16, 2008, 01:33 AM // 01:33

Since I have yet to go for Drunkard and Sweet Tooth title tracks, as well as a few others that require great sums of cash to complete, I save my money in case a time comes when I want to buy something to progress myself in one of them. I'm also kinda saving up for FoW armor.

quickmonty · Jan 16, 2008, 01:36 AM // 01:36

Other: I spend it if I need something. I don't buy high end items, just maxxed stuff (except elite armors). Got enough stashed away to get anything I need.

undeadgun · Jan 16, 2008, 01:37 AM // 01:37

i spend them most the time, since PvE is really has nothing else left to do besides weapon skins.so yea, everytime i see something i like, i just buy it, and use them in PvP

chowmein69 · Jan 16, 2008, 01:54 AM // 01:54

spend it .

Accursed · Jan 16, 2008, 01:59 AM // 01:59

I try to save for Elite armor (currently saving for obi armor)

I only spend money on things I actually need

Solus Spartan · Jan 16, 2008, 01:59 AM // 01:59

I keep everything

WLlama · Jan 16, 2008, 02:01 AM // 02:01

I let it sit in storage until storage bursts. Then I'll buy lockpicks since they have little to no variation in value. If a character happens to get somewhere for armor (and has the rep points to talk to the armorer), I'd think about doing that. Unfortunately, I'm too lazy to farm Norn points for my monk to get her a furry Norn bunny suit.

free_fall · Jan 16, 2008, 02:03 AM // 02:03

I'm with quickmonty. I just bank it all away and then, if I see something I want, I buy it (and can afford to buy it). That's not to say I don't spend money, I do; I just try not to spend it foolishly.

Bought a Joko mini last Friday for 25k, and have already earned 15k of it back; would've prob earned it all back by now except I spent several hours when I could have been playing reading over the MallyX bans thread.

yishin · Jan 16, 2008, 02:12 AM // 02:12

I used to keep the gold, but since GWEotN I've been working on titles and HoM. At the beginning they cost gold but working on some titles actually generate quite some gold (to be spent on other titles).
I predict by the time GW2 comes my GW1 chars will be broke.
