Curse

I've blown quite a bit of cash filling out my HoM fairly rigorously. I'm not rich by any means, but I feel like my hall is pretty competitive. On my main I have every monument "filled". On my account, I have one of every armor in the game with one or two exceptions (Silver Eagle? Screw it) and around 50 minis. I've got a bunch of hero armor pieces that I'll use to outfit every single hero if there's additional benefit. I've also got a couple of Armbraces that I'll turn into weapons if there's additional benefit for it since I've got 10 Destroyers and 1 Tormented in my Hall.

Basically, I'm hoarding stuff right now, but am willing to blow everything I own to send it forward to GW2. I figure even if I don't like GW2 and come back to GW1, I'll at least have a bunch of cool stuff.

I'm just title hunting. My HoM is currently filled. I might get some more Tormented Weapons or cool miniatures, but my main focus is on titles now. I hope to reach GWAMM before GW2 (unlikely though) but at least My GH smells of rich mahogany. Saving up a bit to buy sweet tooth/party animal and to have somebody afk vanquish Tyria for me.

Saving it all for filling out HoM and title hunting. I get a little bit OCD with games like this, to the point where I give myself a goal for the day and have even been known to schedule play time like revision time. SO yeah basically going to OCD my HoM and Titles.

I never had treaures. Nowadays I mostly give my stuff away to guildies who can make better use of it.

The HoM creates an interesting way to transfer Guild Wars 1 wealth to Guild Wars 2, albeit with no guarantees. I'm certain it will be against the rules but it would interesting to track.

People who build up a bit of wealth in GW2 could pay GW1 players in GW2 currency to obtain HoM items and unlocks for their newly purchased GW1 accounts. I could trade 10 GW2 ecto for a number of minis, hero armours, weapons and runs through Urgoz/Deep/UW/FoW etc thus unlocking lots of HoM points on another players account. I don't think this will be a huge market but I can see it happening. More likely, players like myself will be giving away our minis and extra HoM point items to guildies and friends in GW2 who want to go back and unlock stuff in the old game. It becomes and interesting dynamic.

Another interesting scenario and possibly will be a bigger problem is will an RMT market be set up on ebay etc selling GW1 accounts with 30 HoM points. The gold sellers could easily set up a way to "farm" 30 points easily on an account by combining their resources and essentially selling them to GW2 players who want flaming hands. Judging from how they track gold sellers, hacked accounts and trade transactions, I see this being incredibly easy to track (Chinese IP farms 30 points working with a number of other IPs doing the same thing, suddenly account is linked to an American GW2 account and IP) and thus ban and the time investment becoming ineficcient compared to simple gold selling. Still an interesting possibility and something GW1 players might consider doing with their old GW1 accounts and wealth with more success (you only need to make the sale to profit, if they get banned after purchasing it you don't lose anything).

"Who'd go through all that red tape just to get some mediocre-looking items?" is a question I'd like to be able to ask but meh.

Option A

Earning it was the fun bit, once you own everything the fun dies.

@Malice - I thought you gave it all away ages ago?
