what would a fun way to spend 300k be? - Guild Wars Forums

samqk · Mar 08, 2008, 05:24 AM // 05:24

zaishen chest perhaps?
something fun, please give me ideas!!

MercenaryKnight · Mar 08, 2008, 05:26 AM // 05:26

Buy a bunch of snowman summoners, bottle rockets, sparklers, ghosts in the box and run around low level starter towns popping them off for new players to look in amazement.

Lord Darksoul · Mar 08, 2008, 05:33 AM // 05:33

you can invest in zaishen chests, if i had nothing to do with my money, i'd throw it into the chests, hoping for an eternal sword.

**cosyfiep** · Mar 08, 2008, 05:36 AM // 05:36

buy lots of ecto and watch the market crash.

or buy every elite armor you can...

Luminarus · Mar 08, 2008, 06:12 AM // 06:12

300k... fun way to spend it... hmmm

If i had 300k and wanted to burn it, id probably spam in kamadan giving 5k to the first person to tag me (have like 5 big sugar rush items in inventory) and run around kamadan for 5 mins, then pay someone... its funny watching all the noobs chase you. Do that 60 times, and your 300k is gone.

Or do as others suggested

Darkobra · Mar 08, 2008, 06:18 AM // 06:18

Give 1k to each person who spells properly. See how long it takes you to spend it all then.

Operative 14 · Mar 08, 2008, 06:39 AM // 06:39

Well, I'd start by giving 10k to all the posters in this topic.

Seriously though, I think I'd organize an event to just randomly happen in District two of one of the major cities, and just blow it on competitions and games of chance for all the people there.

Luminarus · Mar 08, 2008, 06:42 AM // 06:42

I like the 10k to each person posting in this thread idea

BTW, does it stack, so each time someone posts is that another 10k *hint hint*

farmerfez · Mar 08, 2008, 06:48 AM // 06:48

Yeah Z chest defientely
XD

Smilin' Assassin · Mar 08, 2008, 06:52 AM // 06:52

hold an alliance party, where you supply all the alcohol, sweets and prizes .. and don't forget the Fireworks~@

whenever I've done this it only costs around ~ 80k, even with Ecto, Black Dyes etc for prizes

FengShuiDove · Mar 08, 2008, 07:58 AM // 07:58

Firstly, I've always thought that if I had a ton of money that I had no use for, I would pay someone a RIDICULOUS amount for something not even worth it. Like, I'd "WTB 1 regular Sin tome" and the first person that politely replied and offered would get like 50k =P.

I'd buy a nice set of armor for an old, ignored character, a shiny new set for a favorite old character, and then invest in helping some people out. There are a lot of willing newbies out there that could use a 10k boost and are willing to learn what to do if you help out one time.

Zaishen Chest is just... blech =P.

Dras · Mar 08, 2008, 09:48 AM // 09:48

Personaly, i'd pick my favorite proffesion and campain.
Then go to the starting area and buy some new player Q9 weapons and a few decked out(runes and insignias) 15k sets

Numa Pompilius · Mar 08, 2008, 11:16 AM // 11:16

Offer 1K in Ventari Sell to everyone who sends an e-mail to ArenaNet and tells them what a great guy you are, and demands that you be included in the GW2 beta. With cc: to you, of course.

Oukanna · Mar 08, 2008, 11:30 AM // 11:30

mm 300k, id do loads xDD

First id get a party of guildies into an explorable area and kill surrounding enemies...then I would tell them to wait by entrance and I would drop the gold (1gold piece at a time xD ) and spell the word rich (just for the hell of it. ) Then say GO and let them pick it up. hahaa i dont know why but it would amuse me.

Then i would by looooads of sparklers, poppers and snowmen and give loads away to set them off in a district and see how full of snowmen we can make it.

Steboy93 · Mar 08, 2008, 01:30 PM // 13:30

Buy a set of new elite armour, buy and customize some rare weapons, your money will be gone in no time at all.

Holly Herro · Mar 08, 2008, 02:27 PM // 14:27

Gemsets.

Coffers of whispers lol.

Or zaishen keys. Those are fun.

Similiar train of thought here too.

I was going to suggest giving each nice player you came upon 1g but then I thought you would never get rid of the cash if you tried to do that.

tijo · Mar 08, 2008, 05:42 PM // 17:42

If you are in a guild and some services are still missing, you could always buy those and make your guildies happy.

I think he wants to spend the gold, not save it.
