o.O That's... amusing to say the least. Was it 15k armor out of curiosity?

Save up to about 200-300k. Then blow it on weps and armor and junk.
I've kissed off about 250k in the last 2 months or so on golds, greens, and on Asuran and Dwarven Armors.

none of the above.
I save money for things like skills (& cap sigs)
I save money for GOOD armor (not that uggggghly fow junk).
Or I keep it until I need something else (like more skill caps, more skills--when eye came online 20 new skills for each character I have).
and then if I am done I will finish furnishing my material storage.

What I do with my gold is not in your choices. I save my gold until I want a mod/upgrade for a weapon/shield/or offhand I've discovered. I don't just spend my gold as soon as I get it as one of your answers provided. I've never wasted money on vanity armor thus I do not own one single piece of 15k armor though I have enough money to buy all the sets I would care to have. Vanity is a waste of money in this game for it adds no value to combat, but, having weapons of all various kinds and 4 weapon slots makes for many different ways to improve yourself during battle. The way armor looks doesn't improve anything. Shields are now included in this power as well since I can equip four different types of shields with various +10 protection mods in them like +10 vs physical or +10 vs fire, same with offhands as I like to build up my armor for casters with +5 or +7 mods. So, there needs to be a checkbox for "Spend my money wisely upgrading my equipment"

Ehh I suppose I keep it mostly..
I always try to have as much in storage as possible. From time to time I have a spending period, where I lose 50k-300k in a couple of days, other than that I hord it :P
Currently 450k & 570e's in storage..

But hey .. I'm dutch, I'm living up to the greedy expectations international society has set for me xD

The "only spend money on things you really need" method only works if you don't have horrible luck to begin with.

Richest I've ever been on one character is 80k.

To make sure I don't kill my finances, I keep 50k in storage.

Most of my characters never see more than 20k at one time...

I saved up a fair bit of gold for when eotn came out b/c I assumed there'd be something expensive worth buying. But then it turned out all the armor was cheap, and the expensive stuff (blindfolds, chaos gloves, destroyer weapons) was ugly. So I've been slowly buying armor for my chars that I like, suits I kinda liked but didn't want to spend money on before.

I don't really farm any more, and anything I sell I generally just let go for way below list price just to be rid of it.

After all, what's the point in having money in a game that's basically over? When we know for a fact there'll never be anything else to buy?

I would love to save it, but I just... can't! I always end up buying some new armor/weapons. If tou want to take your PvE's to PvP, you need to waste alot of money with them x).

Since Gwen, Pimping out the hall of monuments with elite armour - just a Gwen set and Obsidian to go. After that cash will go on mini's, hero armour and destroyer weapons to spruce it up.

Then maybe some skill capturing (capture sigs) for some extra titles.

Not surprised to be in the majority group..... yeah I have a reserve which changes in value depending on my self-discipline. Somewhere between 50 and 200k. But anything over that is usually being saved until the second I can afford armour, pretties etc.
