850k, a set of fissure armor, 13 mroe sets of 15k, all "perfect" weapons (not vanity skins), all made back in the day. Never famed UW.

Even still I feel poor every time I open storage

Anyway, Im not really rich, about 2-3k tops atm

, but I can make ~100k a day farming in UW as a 55hp monk and my gf who plays ss/sv necro (and I get all drops!).
My problem is, I earn money, then I join those lame FoW chest run groups and burn all my gold within a day.
I cant resist it

Most gold I ever had was 225k

Depends on what you're selling.

*Hint* Don't try FoW chest runs, unless you're feeling lucky.

Dav85 · Mar 08, 2006, 06:25 AM // 06:25

i don't really keep items, i just sell them for gems.
eternal bow worths something like 80k, serpent axe is a gold req9 unid i still have to decide what to use it for
all the monstrous claws/fangs u may notice... they're my personal bet for factions... soo cheap, no use and they have the same inner value then ectos/shards

if they get some use, well... i'm gazilionaire.
if not, i just used 300k to buy them all. and i can have at least 200k back when i want in case they keep having no use in factions!
(2000x100g inner value any trader pays = 200k). probably more since someone would be interested in buying them for 140-150g

well... got a fow set for my mesmer too but that doesn't count as richness as noone is so dumb to salvage to get a dozen of ectos back

not the pic, but the fact that you people think its for real.

Even if the pic wasnt photoshopped by a pro and it is indeed someones storage account I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY x a billion doubt that this person actually earned all FIVE THOUSAND globs of ectoplasm. Ive seen and heard of many people item dupping and theres plenty of forums out there that have the sole purpous of promoting this type of activity. (but you have to pay for it naturally)

Then theres always the ebay or IGE'd gold/items... it just takes a person who cares enough about a game to pump their real money into having items on it.

Seriously though. 5,000 ectos.

Not earned. Im sorry, but impossible. Unless this person is a robot and has dedicated 24/7 of their life since the game came out of farming/running/ and straight up playing the game all the time without rest then maybe, maybe.

Actually scratch the photoshoped by a pro line, anyone could do that.

Ruvaen · Mar 08, 2006, 09:17 AM // 09:17

If you had adequate starting capital and caught the commodity price reset with the traders several months back right away, maybe 5000 ectos would've been possible... but then I don't know anyone that made off with more than a thousand. =X

I have a very good idea I know who that belongs but i wont say

Road Runna has said he has 60 million or so but that is no way near the richest.

You cant item dupe in this game btw. And yes there are a number of people with this kind of wealth so it is actually possible. Denying it is possible just shows massive amounts of ignorance.

fiery · Mar 08, 2006, 02:37 PM // 14:37

You can't dupe, this isn't like Diablo 2 LOD when you can dupe items. Really can't HACK or CHEAT in Guild Wars.

Arya Nibelrund · Mar 08, 2006, 03:25 PM // 15:25

I know whose those belongs and it's not a fake pic; that guy made money teaching other ppl a very specific thing, really a cool idea.

Fates · Mar 08, 2006, 03:36 PM // 15:36

As a previous poster mentioned, if you have a fairly good bankroll when the commodity price reset occured, and you were online at the time, you could have bought that many ecto fairly cheaply.

I missed it by an hour or so and still got some sup monk ruins cheap. Too bad I wasn't willing to gamble more, or i'd be a very rich man today. As it was, I still made a few hundred K within a couple weeks.

Maxiemonster · Mar 08, 2006, 03:42 PM // 15:42

It's me, period. This thread can be closed.

Ajantis · Mar 08, 2006, 03:45 PM // 15:45

Not this again -_-

The pic is real, get over it

Murder In China · Mar 08, 2006, 04:38 PM // 16:38

That person made all his money from teaching people.

wolfe2dale · Mar 08, 2006, 04:52 PM // 16:52

I have never, ever had a single ruby, ecto or shard, FoW armour makes no sense to me & I never have more than a few thousand in my storage at any one time.

Yet, strangely, I don't much care, I am a member of a great guild, I have infused armour the equal of any other & max damage weapons....

I play pve & gvg & win more than I lose & have fun doing it...

Why on Earth would I want millions in cash, it has no relevance to the game at all.....

This thread is pointless unless you are easily impressed or under 12 years old...

Nice. So I'm not the only one that believes material wealth is both pointless and worthless in a game designed for skill. (AKA Guild Wars)

If it was just skill then why do the rich get advantages? HOD Sword, HOD Axe, Unconditional Weapons, 20% Rockmolder, 15% Fiery Flame Spitter. These weapons dont necessarily make a good player but in pvp hitting for 3 extra damage all the time makes the difference when using the example of unconditional weapons.

Also Fow armor allows for people to not know what type of armor they are wearing. I dont pvp but i imagaine it would help slightly.
