I can't wait until some disenchanting skills are put to use by the underworld NPCs.

Well Jaden, you can trace this all the way back to "Why am I playing this video game when I have a real life?" *shrug* Well when you find your answer to that, you'll find your answer to why you farm. Are you playing 'cause you're bored? Well, if you are, and you think farming is fun, then go ahead, farm away.

Never ask yourself why you're playing a game. From personal experience I then get bored of the game rather quickly.

I rarely farm, but when I do it's to buy stuff for new characters I've made. Money goes down quickly if you don't top it up once in a while. I'm not exactly 'rich' anyway, only have about 60k stored away.

Money is most important when you don't have it.
I use my dough to keep my guildies armed with the best equipment I can find. So if you don't want to spend on yourself - try spreading a little of it around.

Depends, myself as a Monk, it's pretty pointless to farm, where do I need to spend my money on? but a Warrior needs lots of money, a max Dmg weapon with perfect upgrades cost about 600K, some people even want several of these items, so then you'll need to farm your ass of. Of course, if you want a Fissure of Woe armor set you'll need to farm a long time too, and for a 15K armor set, you'll probably need to farm a little while too. It just depends on what you want.

I usually do this:
Runes = 50K (150K for a Warrior)
1.5K Droknar's Forge set = 10K
Collector's items

Everything else besides that is nothing more then luxury, and isn't needed. Of course, I understand that you would want to farm to get that bad ass look you always wanted

I make contests for my guildmates
prizes go from 3K gold to ectoplasm

and farming allows me to try several builds without limits (for instance, the price of superior monk runes isn't a problem)

very true - it's all about freedom.
It's nice to be able to experiment with dye mixtures that include black - to get the perfect color you want.

Also, if you wait until you want something (e.g. nice sword or armor) before you start saving it's much more difficult.

Heh it's kind of funny how the gold drops in GW *kinda* align with real life in how much you want before you're happy. 100k is decent, 1 million is brilliant and 10 million is just amazing.
