I got 60k in storage maybe 150k total if that. Probably made around 4 million in the game. But I spent it all on armors. I'm really lucky that's how i made that much, I don't overly farm at all just got really lucky.

This is my 1st and primary account, the 6th slot is reserved for PvP-only characters.

Have a 2nd account.
Total 1,400+ hours clocked in accross all characters.

Wow so much money.....

I have trouble keeping my money at 1k, heck it's probably around 500gp right now. Though to be fair I'm pretty new and my first and only character is lvl 14 right now

I also have "Treasure Hunter lvl 3" title as well as "Adept Skill Hunter lvl 2" title, so I've spent PLENTY of money.

It comes and It goes.

You own me lol, been playing since may, I have 1.5k armor and 60k lol.

Addone_Abaddon · Aug 30, 2006, 05:02 PM // 17:02

me complaining in the UW because all the time I've played the game, I've never had a good drop, then suddenly
"The Terrorweb Dryder drops a Glob of Ectoplasm which this party reserves for The Eith."

Poison Ivy · Aug 30, 2006, 05:12 PM // 17:12

2000 hours in 12 months.

Around 2000k, 3 sets of 15ks on my Necro, 1 set of 15k on my Warrior, Kurzick 15k on my Assassin, mainly collector's weapons...

BTW I've never really farmed much, I only farm for the challenge.

Daemon Dremora · Aug 30, 2006, 05:24 PM // 17:24

well i have been playing for about 14 months now and the most money i have ever had at one time is about 100k. i dont do alot of farming, and every time i save up alot of money i end up finding something i want to buy. but now my warrior has the best weapon and shield i can have for him. it might not be the best for everyone but the build i run on him makes these 2 items perfect. and his 15k plate looks better then any 15k in factions. so maybe i can save some money now.

Hand of Ruin · Aug 30, 2006, 05:38 PM // 17:38

About 650 hours of game play

650k in storage + 50e and 30~ shards

Two 15k sets on my warrior

Alas, the beauty of farming.

Carth` · Aug 30, 2006, 05:46 PM // 17:46

You won't have over 100k just from playing the game. I played the game for over a year and didn't. I never farmed, and I used to never have more than 20k. One day I got a lucky break, and Kanaxai's Axe dropped for me in The Deep (back when it was worth the most). I sold it and then I considered myself quite wealthy, although not compared to some farmers. But because I had the money (now over 100k), I could then afford to trade around a bit, buy other stuff, sell other stuff etc, and my money grows quite fast now.

A Factions player will have more money than a Prophecies player, for obvious reasons.

What the average player has depends on your definition of an average player, and I don't think anyone knows what this is. Probably a W/Mo who likes to take mending, and is stuck at THK.

The Herbalizer · Aug 30, 2006, 08:29 PM // 20:29

What is considered average? Playtime? Experience?

yes GW wrote about some statistive in the game and about 75% of the people who own this game had less than 20k. But this was written a few months ago, the statistics might be slightly different. I'd say about 10% or 5% have maxed out storage kinda money.

I doubt that, actually, because there're so many gold sinks in the game, like FoW armor, titles, chests, etc. I would say 1% at most. The rich people in Ventari Sell aren't indicative of the financial state of the general GW population

Keochti_PR · Aug 30, 2006, 08:46 PM // 20:46

50-75k here and thats with constant farming and chest drops.

Your average also depends on the actual playing time of the player. A once a weeker won't have nearly as much as a full timer... but I guess that should go without saying.

Addone_Abaddon · Aug 30, 2006, 09:34 PM // 21:34

about a week ago, I had 5k, so in one week I got 55k, that's good, for me.

quickmonty · Aug 30, 2006, 10:36 PM // 22:36

My first character through the game was always poor. Had to scrounge for that next set of armor and bought it a piece at a time when I could afford it.

Now, a little over a year later, with 7 PvE characters and some luck farming during the Wintersday event I have all seven decked out in 15K (each with superior vigor and superior absorbtion on warrior) with optimal weapons, lots of "stuff" in storage and a total of 300K cash.

But I don't consider myself "average".

llsektorll · Aug 30, 2006, 11:00 PM // 23:00

the average player should have around 10-30k.... if they don't farm, buy/sell, or run players...

Sour Pancake · Aug 31, 2006, 12:46 AM // 00:46

i have no idea how much i typically have, right now im at a little under 20k, but i have been over 800k like 3 months ago. i love my monk, so i buy her armor like, constantly. just got some black 15k canthan a week after i got teal 15k luxon. thats about 200k, spent 50k on pvp weapon sets for her. weapons for whatever.... keys for her title.... yea. very resource consuming but worth it in the end, i can farm 50k a day with her.

Moiax · Aug 31, 2006, 01:42 AM // 01:42

15 months of play
1200+ hours logged

1 character with sorta half a 15k set, 3 characters with 1.5k sets, some other level 5-12's with meh. Only greens I have, I got for free for beating factions. I have about 3k in the storage. Most I ever had was 40k ish when amber was worth 3k apiece. Must be doin' something wong......

Arturo02 · Aug 31, 2006, 01:52 AM // 01:52

and let's not forget the 70k (approx) you spend on skills too per character. (That's for proph, I haven't figured out Factions skill cost totals yet)

Yes, I know 70k sounds too high but it's true

Carth` · Aug 31, 2006, 02:25 AM // 02:25

I'd like to see more statistics from ANet. Like how many characters have achieved each title, it would be interesting to see the percentage of the population with KOBD, Skill Hunter, 100% Exploration etc. And how many characters of each class. I think we'd be surprised to see how many monks there are. Or how many PvE mesmers.
