I spend far too easily. When I gain some cash I have to buy ectos with it because it's too tempting to buy lockpicks.

I never have much wealth at one time.

Getting a PC on my account would indeed be pretty cool. My Warrior has KoaBD and FoW so I guess that already boosts up the demand for the kiddies.

16 months or something, 12k in storage. 3 15k sets, 0 FoW. Nothing expensive in my storage either, apart from a crapload of materials, which aren't worth much anyway. Most money I've ever had was 100k, which was gone in a few hours.

In general, I suck at making money.

I hardly make any money, but I always seem to have 100k+ in my storage and I have plenty of 15k sets. I just get lucky. I've got like 5 items that are worth 50k+ from chests during missions.

I think I suck at making money or rather I'm just slow at making it. It took me 5 months to get my Fow armor. >.>

Currently in teh bank: 7k+ (I went shopping. I just had to have Primeval Female Mes armor.)
Playing: Since july 2005
Elite sets of armor: 10 (15k sets+ 1 fow) Ever growing btw. I'm collecting all of the elite mez outfits just for the hell of it.

2.5 years

About 500k in cash, and several each of the various (actually valuable) rare crafting mats.
1 Set of 15k, my Drago's Flatbow (remember when they used to be like 100k...?), about 200k worth of alcohol and sugar (not counting the 150k worth of sugar I've already used), 200k+ in undedicated minis, 100k in dedicated minis

A long time ago I realized that there really isn't much point in having a ton of gold, so I make a lot on certain festival weekends and don't worry too much the rest of the time. My real wealth is in the titles I work on instead and in my fantastic guildmates and friends.

Playtime: 17 months

Result: got many friends, few of them really close, some enemies, and even a girl. I think that beats all the millions, ectos and rares out there.

I've probably spent almost 3 million on various sets of 15k, Vabbian, rare weapons and dyes. In the last week I've managed to accumulate 160k through farming, but that was promptly spent on my dervish and I only have 30k left. Now I don't bother hoarding gold, I just spend it.

You make me feel horribly ashamed that I've measured the quality of my GW experience in terms of wealth.

Yeah, I'm just about like this, except without the farming. I've got 7 characters with 15k armors, 2 of those have 2 sets, and 2 have Vabbian. I've spent way too much on dyes, fixing up heroes on all characters with runes and stuff, keys/lockpicks (have at least 1 rank of treasure hunter on all characters, rank 2 on 2 of them), bought a few items in Ventari's and in-game, and I rarely, if ever, sell to anyone.

I'm sure I'd be among the GW millionaires if I weren't such a reckless spender. Then again, I'd much rather have the things I have, then hoarding a bunch of plat and ecto. Besides, it's not about what you have anyway, it's about getting it, and looking good while you're getting it, even if looking good means 1k armor and collector weapons.

Poor, and doing horrible at making money, but then, I have something that I'm SURE people on this thread have, but they don't really care to show.

Like odly said, I have a good guild full of nice people (besides one person >.>) who do stuff together and overall have fun. It doesn't matter how many ectos you have or how much time you waste farming in UW or FoW, but rather how many friends you can make, how you can be nice to people. In that case, I'm doing just fine.

after 2 and half years playing, think i'm the middle class, since i only trade weapons instead of rare minis (man, u can really make good money on them)

24 stacks ecto, 2 stack shards, 100 black dye, some other dyes (i collect what dropped for me), 3 stack lockpick, 10 mil weapons on all char, some 15k armor (don't like fow), just got 4 storage account hacked, lost 5.8 mil cash from them.

use to trade and farm a lot, but got lazy after duped armb came out, no1 can ever compare to those hackers.

Well, its kinda weird to call these people "friends". Maybe you play with them all night long, talk with them and stuff, but you probably wont meet them ever (there are exceptions ofc). Cant really compare real friends with these "GW friends". Well just my thoughts, a bit offtopic .
And if its the case, I've made about 15 "friends" in ~20 months (Prof, Truth, Jack etc etc etc). Not that bad .

I wouldn't call you middle class, more likely f*ckin rich .
