Gold (cash) not accumulating properly? - Guild Wars Forums

lordtrillbane · Sep 30, 2006, 05:50 AM // 05:50

I'm not talking items, I mean the actual gold dropping from mobs. I've just verified that on 2 of my characters, gold dropped from Mobs is not accumulating in my inventory correctly.

For example, if I have 300 gold on me, and I pick up 82 gold from a mob, I will now have 310-315 gold. Anyone else experience this? I've already submitted a bug report, but wanted to post this as it may go unnoticed.

Are you with a group?

lordtrillbane · Sep 30, 2006, 05:54 AM // 05:54

With henches only. I'll go farm an area solo and see if that effects anything.

Savio · Sep 30, 2006, 05:55 AM // 05:55

Party members and henchies split the gold with you. It states that in the chat window.

Lol, wow. Has it always been like that and I'm just blind? I've never noticed that before --- I thought it used to be whoever grabbed it got the whole pile...

Always been like that. Annoying isn't it

Holy shite. Guess I never really paid attention. Been playing for over 9 months and never noticed lol!

So I bet for nine months now you have been rushing to the spot of a dying mob to make sure that you were the one to grab the loot. Did you ever see the gold sit there and let someone else have a turn to pick it up (when not playing with henchies)?

lordtrillbane · Sep 30, 2006, 07:00 AM // 07:00

Nah I never rushed a pile. Actually I've never really paid much attention to the gold drops, which is probably why I'm just now realizing how the distribution works. =P

i'm not really sure why henchies take some of the money. it's not like you can go farm stuff and get a butt load of cash with them even if they didn't take any.

it's not comparable to 55'ing or similar farming, anyway.

Uh. If henchies didn't collect some of the drops you could farm anywhere or anything. Hell, there'd be no need for SF groups. Just hench it with 8 henchies.

There'd be a huge difference.

And don't worry lordtrillbane, we all have things we never really noticed.
