I have 1 mil, what should I do with it?: Spend it, Power trade it, Invest It, Keep It - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

runite ringleader · Aug 29, 2008, 02:08 PM // 14:08

So your basically saying 'i've played a game for that long working hard and once i had achieved what i've been working for, i don't know what to do with it'. Here's my advice, since GW2 is coming out i would suggest that you get some titles, minipets and go to HoM. Do what the others are saying some of them are right (Zaishen or Party Animal/Sweet Tooth titles).

Sir Tidus · Aug 29, 2008, 03:42 PM // 15:42

You have three options:

1. Give it all away and quit the game (since endgame material is all about grinding anyways).

2. Sell it on EBay and donate the money to starving children in Africa.

3. Don't listen to what other people tell you and do what you want with it.

Shursh · Aug 29, 2008, 03:59 PM // 15:59

use it to powertrade and make more money, duh...

you can easily powertrade on weekends and make 250-500k (rough estimate, i'm sure there are people that make loads more, that is just from personal experience). then spend that easily made money on titles.

ALF71BE · Aug 29, 2008, 04:13 PM // 16:13

This thread is stupid. What do you think you do with money?

Spend it.

Then repeat.

You really only have 2 options here.

The OP is the one asking for people to tell him what to do with his money.
If he already knew what he wanted to do with it, then he wouldn't have started this thread

unkleanone · Aug 29, 2008, 04:34 PM // 16:34

My personal advice would be to spend it all on z keys wait till the new tonic is put in then go use em all odds are you'll end up with a one or maybe more of them wich will atleast net you 500k more than likely you'll get quite a bit of alcahol and sweets use them for your title or sell them if you've already got those same with any tonics you get that aren't everlasting. sort through all the golds you get and sell the ones that are of value, Merch/salvage the rest rinse and repeat with all the money you get until you end up with max zaishen then use whatever cash you make off the golds and what not you get maxing zaishen to finish maxing any other titles. Its really your best option with the large amount of cash you have.

The only point to GW at this point is you get titles and fill out you HoM in preparation for GW2.

free_fall · Aug 29, 2008, 05:38 PM // 17:38

Buy a Tormented shield and give it to Koss, then take him into pugs with you.

Nainoa · Aug 29, 2008, 06:53 PM // 18:53

Sell it for real money and buy a better game. Lol @:

Make a thread on a fansite so everyone knows how cool you are.
It is fake money who cares what you do with it.
You should give it to me if you are too stupid to think for yourself.

Alice pwns all · Aug 29, 2008, 07:43 PM // 19:43

honestly I think you should buy extreme show off armor such as fow mixed with eotn armor. Then go buy yourself awesome show off weapons like a voltaic spear and a tormented shield. Then maybe give some to your friends to make em happy. (that is if you have any left)

Now stop showing off your money on these forums and go waste your money. You didnt need this thread you couldve went to kamadan dis 1 and looked at cool things ppl were selling and look to see what armor theyre wearing that ppl look up to. >_>

Don Doggy · Aug 29, 2008, 07:57 PM // 19:57

Power trade it your rich, become richer.

Bad advice. If you're going to spend money, buy something that YOU like on YOUR character, not what other people like. If other people think that having 57 sets of FoW is a sign of a uber-leet player, that's great for them but half the FoW armours are ugly in comparison with others (Elite Kurzick comes to mind).

Voltaic isn't cool anymore since it can now be farmed by PuG's.

If you lean towards giving some of it away, I used to see people now and then in outposts having games. Some sort of trivia (gw-related or not) game in local chat. First correct response got a prize (gold or items or something.)

I always loved those! They'd really get a conversation going sometimes. I'd play just for the fun of it - the prizes didn't matter. But it always got a lot of people involved.

Back before Factions, standing the Thirsty River outpost, there was often quite a lot of tension on the local chat with folks ranting about the mission's difficulty and/or pugs' incompetence. I saw someone start a trivia game in there one day, and that guy changed the entire mood of the outpost - It was really impressive! Once, I saw a game in Ascalon that had so many people involved. The host was asking trivia questions about gw and then random questions. When the host ran out of prizes to give away, folks were having so much fun that they started donating items just to get the guy/gal to keep the game going.

As for going to newb areas and simply giving stuff away to new players, sadly, I don't recommend that. It used to be fun to do those give-aways, I used to do that with weapons I didn't want to keep or be bothered to sell. The last couple times I did it, though, I just wound up having to add a lot of terribly-mannered people to my ignore list. So I recommend prizes rather than give-aways.

lol at these comments about buying things because strangers in a video game will think you're cool for having them. Who gives a shit if some gamer geek kids think you're cool or not.

Narcissia · Aug 30, 2008, 02:54 AM // 02:54

why would u power trade and get more money when u dont even know what to do with the money u have now

to have it and make urself feel special? pssh, spend it

Super dark assassin · Aug 30, 2008, 08:36 AM // 08:36

I say use 500,000 of it and save the rest for Titles and you will still have 500,000 Buy anything you want with the first half

Issac · Aug 30, 2008, 07:42 PM // 19:42

Drop it outside then go back in town and come back out again, it'll be twice as much then lol.

jk, if you got everything u want get the titles.
