Choice P:

I play the game. I get what I get, and I use it for things I need when I need them. Otherwise, it collects dust. I don't spend much, but when I do, it's definitely worth it in the end.

Choice A:
I just don't want to take the time to find the right price. If I want to buy or sell something from/to another player(which is pretty rare), I would just pay any reasonable price the other player asks of me.

I'm an impulse buyer... If I see something I like, I'll get it. (Which is probably why I'm broke atm!) So um.. put me down for A I guess. Money seems to be very easy come easy go.

Nothing matters, I can pwn more face with my customized collector item than you can with your Super Leet skinned 5 million dollar weapon that isn't customized.

Somewhere between A and B. If there's something I want that's pretty but expensive and not necessary to play, I'll wait a little while for the price to drop. I won't wait a year for it to hit rock bottom, though.

Something between P and A.

I rarely go to the player market to buy or sale - I try my very best to get everything I need for myself. I generally call it cheap - I do so because I don't like to spend gold on things I can get for free.

But then, for either things I can't get for free or things that are rare enough that the likely hood of me finding are so rare I *have* to go to the player market I will pay through the nose for if it makes a difference, of course there is a limit.

Generally speaking I check the current price range, I figure I will sell at the bottom and buy at the top. After that I look at the likely hood of me getting said item and if I will make more by farming for those hours or spending what the upper bounds of cost are.

For example, I usually purchase most rare crafting materials instead of farming them. Most normal farming materials are easier to farm than to purchase, though there are exceptions. There are also golds that I hate farming for so I know I will not do enough to get one - so I purchase them. Then there are things like Elite tomes - I rarely every purchase one because I'm happy to farm most of them. Lastly most greens are famed, there are VERY few exceptions to that.

Hmm, A. I only spend money on armors though. But I don't bother getting good deals on mats and just buy them at the trader (I even did this for most of my FoW).

I guess it would be P, for the most part.

Collector: I don't "collect" anything per se, but I'm always looking for cheap minipets to fill my HOM. I've decided to keep one of each pet in storage just to have, but the others get dedicated and trashed.

Seller: I'll usually undercut the going rate to sell quickly, but most stuff goes to the merch

Buyer: Mostly lockpicks and title stuff.

I collect whatever I want to keep.

I sell at whatever price I want to sell.

I buy at whatever price I want to buy.

Answers:

4 (For gold weaps, If I know it's worth at least 25k I'll go through the hassle of trying to sell, if not it gets stored, but eventually merched cos I just can't be arsed to stand around selling, and using Guru for low end stuff is just irritating now. For other items like Gems, armor remnants, etc, I try to collect a few and then sell them in a town for the going rate. But I get stuff like that few and far between.)

D (I don't tend to follow trends, I just like what I like. If I know my Monk or Ele, or whatever, will look great with a certain weapon I'd try save for it and get it as cheap as pos, but that's very rare as I tend to go for stats rather than looks. But for armor...I save up, then blow it all on the one set )

I choose A.

There is no room to collect anything.

If I start collecting, I Want It All, not just waht my storage can fit.

I can't go with miniatures or armor unless they add a way to save progress on those I got without having to store them and without losing them.

e - I'm an obsessive armor collector; my Xunlai Vault is better described as a Xunlai Wardrobe. By the time I have one set completed, I've already planned out the set I want to buy next. Current target: Mesmer Primeval

There's nothing of any value in the game other than VANITY(once you have maxed out weapons and armor). Thus, buying things just to improve how one looks is a waste of coins. I suppose P would be my choice. I play when I feel like it, but, lately that hasn't been very much since there is nothing that will improve my POWER. One should concentrate on Ursans Blessing for a skill. Treasure Hunter and Wisdom Title tracks for savings. Lightbringer for POWER in the latter parts of Nightfall if you like playing there. Sunspear is meh, if you could use it in PVP that would be a plus though.
