I cant do any of that. I give my gold/ecto etc away to friends, and noobs, because, I dont care for it. I love playing ot play, If I have enought obuy the max armor, I buy it. Once i have it, I just giv ethe rest away.

I collect gold as a direct result of playing the game.

I hardly ever use it (save buying salvage/ID kits). There just isn't much that I want.

I use it to buy Elite armor, Titles, and sometimes pets. I think having gold just for the sake of showing off is pointless, especially now that GW2 is getting closer. pretty much I'm just spoiling my characters.

Wow, I'm actually sort of surprised "Saving for FoW" is by far the least popular option. I was planning to spend my cash on maxing Alice's drunkard title (she is my main title getting char) but then everyone in my guild started just giving me free alcohol all the time, so that became less of a concern.

I've got a Paragon currently Ascending in Tyria for the 50k xp, and if he makes LS3 I will reward him with sexy Paragon FoW armor for his HoM.

Usually when I get enough gold to buy something I spend it and end up either broke or close but end up losing a bit each day.

I try to put a limit on it like half of what I have at the time but doesn't always work as I said above I just keep spending little by little until it is all gone.

Atm I am trying to build it up without spending any of it meaning I am just going to use my PvE character(s) for farming and nothing else until I get more than enough.

I was using gold for titles but I can't stand spending gold on something that really does nothing for me cept the title so I've decided that after playing for so 2+years, I'm getting the FoW Armor. Sad as I don't even know if I'm going to like it.

I have 100k in the vault always for things like tickets at the dragon festival but for the past few days its been nothing but ectos n shards. 15e 5s. long way to go =(

As a women it's my right to spend as fast as I can make it on stupid and useless things to make me feel special

I spend my gold on some armors, gifts, armors and weapons/also mods. Being poor isn't a problem for me, not a money packrat.

I just finished near bankrupting myself (20 plat or so left), to buy my first Elite Armor. That immediately got assigned to my HoM.

I personally save up my gold for the one very expensive purchase that I'm eyeing at the time.

I generate a ton of gold just by my playing style (i.e. doing every mission and quest solo without heroes or henchmen), so it's nice when I've accumulated enough to get that one rare-skinned item that I've been desiring. As a result, my wealth ebbs and flows...which is how it should be in a game like this.

I horde all my gold until I see something that I want/need then I spend some of it. I always keep a certain amount in there in case someone in the guild needs a little. It's nice right now cause there isn't any armor for my necro that I like so, she sits in the 1.5 k Kurkicks....for now.

I save and save and save....and then think, "well, I can finally buy X"....and then find myself unable to part with my monies. >< This is why I'm still technically saving up for my FoW armor....heh....in the end, I'm just gonna farm all my ecto and shards, I just know it. This would make you lol extra-hard if you knew how often I actually get motivated to farm UW and FoW...
