I agree. I could have had 1,000 platinum several times over, but what is the point in having money unless you spend it?

Learned my lesson a long time ago...I gave everything that was of no use to me away. I also gave large amounts of gold away to Guildies. Huge mistake. I contantly got requests for items and/or gold. The worst was an honest request for 90k so a Guildie could buy 15k armor for her Ranger. 90k, WTF?

But back to topic, yes, the more I have, the less I spend/give away. When I had 30k, giving 5k away was nothing, now, at 700k, 2k for a salvage kit kills me.

LMAO fgarvin - that's why I buy the Expert Salvage Kits.

quickmonty · Mar 15, 2006, 07:48 PM // 19:48

I'm usually around 300K total. (plus 200K guild "bank" money that I hold = 500K)

Over and I buy more vanity armor, nice green itmes, pay for guild mates Drok's armor or help in other ways.

Under and I farm for a while.

I always buy ectos or perfect rare items, its up to you what you want to collect. Seeing stacks of ecto used to do it for me, but not anymore. Now I just buy perfect items, for my collection. You can always buy in FOW armor, but I think it would be worth your while if you waited for chapter 2.

Mordakai · Mar 15, 2006, 08:04 PM // 20:04

Just curious, how many hours do you guys have on your account?

I have 300+ hours, and only 30k. I just wanted to see how I was doing...

Lasher Dragon · Mar 15, 2006, 08:08 PM // 20:08

Haven't checked in a while, last time I checked it was over 1000.

Less than 900 hours, and been playing since June 05.

Im in the *Cough* 100k-200k range more towards 200k, i would have probably triple-quadriple that had i not bought two sets of 15k for my war and my mes, and started maxing out a new account ym friend gave me, but now i am just saving my cash

eternal_paladin · Mar 15, 2006, 08:44 PM // 20:44

i have about 500k, but many perfect items...also *cough* 1500 hours playtime...

Macktar Wang · Mar 15, 2006, 09:05 PM // 21:05

I am sitting just under 100K right now, but usually try to maintain around 100-125K. Everything else I give away to those who need, not those who beg.

Oh, and about 750+ hours.

I am finding now that gold starts to have little meaning and I no longer require it for anything so may aswell buy another set of fow armor or get some nice casting weapons to finish my collection. Screw chapter 2 as none of the armors look remotely appealing for me.

PVP is also looking scaringly attractive

Cador · Mar 15, 2006, 10:29 PM // 22:29

You can see the chapter 2 armors where?

1,000,000 gold? Good job. gold isn't hard to earn but it is tedious. Anet has made it substancially harder to earn gold in the past 8 months. So Job Well done. once ya learn how to make cash its easy to make 100-150k a day though with a i-monk. However dont make the entire game of it. i like you give out tons of hand outs. I basically funded a guild of 20 with 1-2 lvl 20's decked out.
Dont think of giving gold as a gift. Think of it as an investment in your gaming future.

Cador · Mar 15, 2006, 10:31 PM // 22:31

oo i want to log on SO bad well it certainly is not fun not being allowed on video games

Fungus Amongus · Mar 15, 2006, 11:52 PM // 23:52

I usually have about 100K. The dye trader has my other 900K.

~Edit - Forgot to answer the original question.

I am a tightwad until I surpass 100K. I don't think I will ever hit 1 million. When I see 150K in storage, I proceed to blow 75K-100K wasting dyes, only to revert everything back to the last color I had anyway. Then I am tighter than your "duck's proverbial" until I pass 100K again.

I have about 600-700 hours, and if I never went on a skillbuying binge, I might have enough for 15k armor. Right now I'm at 12-16k (might buy a new longbow). My wealth is in my faction which right now is about 220k. I don't burn money on anything stupid like req 7 chaos axes but skill trainers are my weakspot, as shown by my thread in Q&A
