15k Armour is 75k per set.

10x75k=750k

Black Dye goes for around 7k right now. Per set that comes to 5x7k=35k

For all sets, then, 10x35k=350k

750k+350k=1100k

1,100,000 gold.

And that's not counting crafting materials, which are often in and of themselves particularly expensive for some sets.

I save up until I reach my benchmark savings amount (currently 215k), then I start saving up for the next item I want. Currently, I'm going for a 15k set of Templar for my Warrior.

Beyond that, most of my gold has gone to armors. About four sets of vanity armors for my Dervish up to this point. However, I do splurge sometimes; for instance, I spent a good amount on a on a nice minipet collection a month or two ago. Not to mention spending lots and lots outfitting and developing new characters, whether they are mine or friends.

Altho I had to try really hard not to select the pudding option, my gold goes to titles. For the moment that means drunkard.

I have no gold left by now, they only valuable stuff is made up of a few rare items. No intention to rack up gold again as there's nothing left which I actually desire (besides a shadow shield maybe ).
Most stuff was used up on Fow armours of which I have about 8.

Even tough i have only one character since GW:EN came out, i still spend every penny i get for skillhunting, armor and secondary profession skills. My monk is becoming more in-depth every day.

I use it to buy skills and lockpicks on my main character. One day, my PvE mesmer will have every skill in the game. Just because.

I try to keep at least 100k in storage, when there's something I wanna buy, if I have enough & like the price, I buy it. I try to stay outta LA, KC, & kamadan though cause I end up with no money after a spending spree.

I only save my money when there's something worth saving for. Once i have enough, obviously i spend it; hence i never have any money

I also spend my money on titles, but the poll didn't allow voting for 2 choices

I'm a big spender. If inscriptions were sold by merchants i'd probably buy those too but right now most of it has gone to armor skins, runes, tool sets, lockpicks, skills. I've always been bad at saving a lot of gold :P. But i keep collecting weapons/shields/staffs, i'm not even using them.

I usually just let the money accumulate 'til I find something I want to do with it. Storage is still pretty empty from buying Rit FoW last month, but what I'm making now is going towards monk FoW. Once I finally have that under my belt I'll just let the cash add up again ^_^

I'm one of the said hoarders, thing is i just don't have anything i really want to buy atm. All my characters have 15k armor or armor that i really like the look of so 15k's or FoW is a no go area, imo all the male FoW armors are fugly anyway.

All of them have all the weps they need, but i guess i could get a few more.

My excuse is i'm waiting for stuff to get cheaper and cheaper so my money will go even further than it does atm

save it until there's something i want (like min/maxing all 25 heros for 1 char instead of using the money for FoW) and then save again for something else~

What do I do with my gold? All the usual things :
Count it
Polish it
Take it to bed with me

Actually that's a lie - polishing is too much like hard work - I hire someone to polish it for me

I give it to people who play Guild Wars more than me and thus would actually do something with it.

Option 5 was just too cool

Seriously tho, I spend most on armor (2-3 15k sets/char, 10 chars and 3 x fow).

That's a very noble thing to do. In my guild we all help our members to get their favorite armour, which of course doesn't mean "roll a char just to get donations".
