I would agree to more space for items, but not gold.

despite I have never had that amount of gold, it poses a problem for ppl who want to keep their gold and down want it's value go down the hole because ecto's aren't in demand etc...
besides ppl have multiple accounts to hold extra gold so I would rather see the gold limit raised to maybe 2M for now or extra storage space

For anybody and everybody that said no to more gold capcity in storage because you have never had a trade worth over 500k rethink that plz. One day everyone will have 1M in storage its enividable. Then the econmy would be out of balance which is not going ot help this game. So once everyone has 1M then there is no buying or selling, becuase u cant make more than that now. But if Anet raised the capacity to lets say 5M then there is still a rich and poor side of the game which balances out the econmy. I dont want to just bundle up my money and not spend it. I am waiting for prices on certain things to drop so its a more reasonable trade. So plz dont be discrimnating anyone in this thread. I only posted it to get positive feedback so Anet might change it for us poeple in the game that have alot of money. I believe that i shouldnt have to buy another account to hold items or money because i enjoy playing the game alot.

So you want more money to have for when prices go down? That is not the best use of logic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflation

The cap on the amount of money you are able to hold is not there just to cause some of you personal grief. It is there to help limit inflation. If we could hold 5 million in storage, and trade/hold 300k between players at a time, that poor guy coming from pre-sear with 317 gold will be SOL as he will have to farm and grind for all of his upgrades as even the crappiest +10 hale staff head will sell for 5k as our in-game money will be even more worthless. I have been playing this game for 10 months, about 1400 hours, and the concept of paying or receiving more than about 200k for anything but fissure armor boggles the mind. But then, I spend my money. I buy armor and dyes and mods and skills. If you aren't spending your money now, and you aren't earning interest, what do you need more for?

BTW, Fissure armor is supposed to be impossibly expensive. It is supposed to be near impossible to obtain, EBay notwithstanding of course.

I for the life of me can't fathom the minds of these people who think ebay is the only way to make it possible to have too much gold -_- I'm not gonna bother delving into it, as its simply stupid.

Raise the gold capacity in storage to a reasonable sum(2-5mill), I doubt it'll affect the market as messed up as it is now.

streets101 · Jun 20, 2006, 07:31 PM // 19:31

I'm not saying i just want the storage capacity to increase becuase i need it to buy things. There is also the fact of everyone in the course of there time playing "Guild Wars" they will obtain 1M gold. Once everyone has 1M the economy will shater into pieces. If everyone were to have 1M which will happen sooner or later, then the prices of items would continue to rise because more people would have the money, but if someone were to just purchase the game it would be extremely difficult to buy anything. This is why i am proposing that Anet should at least raise the capacity to a reasonable amount

Oh and plz stop complaining about Ebayers they wont stop, and do not accuse anyone of Ebaying in this thread please i just mentoned i would like positive feedback on my last post.

no we will not all have 1 mil plat eventually because:
1. We don't spend all our time farming poorly programmed AI.
2. When we do get money, we spend it. You people hoard it to make yourselves feel more important.

Raising the storage capacity is just plain stupid. The rich get richer and in perspective the poor get poorer. There is absolutely no reason to raise the storage capacity. If your trying to buy something thats rediculously expensive its 100k + ectos anyway, so invest in ectos when you can't hold anymore money.

Conquering Lion · Jun 20, 2006, 10:32 PM // 22:32

saying everyone will have 1 mill gold is just plain ************************

There will always be noobs, there are over 2 million people playing games and a small percentage saves up that much. People are amazed and say they are rich with 2k, so how can you say everyone will have 1 mill?

Yawgmoth · Jun 21, 2006, 12:22 AM // 00:22

1 mln limit is here probably to prevent some huge exploits and to make the professional farmers have to buy more and more accounts to store their millions.
I myself also have sometimes problems with not being able to store more gold, which makes trading difficult. What the game needs more than raising this limit is adding something to spend the gold AND adding more storage! I would make a few 15k armor sets for each character if only i had where to store them. Now its impossible.

Undivine · Jun 21, 2006, 12:42 AM // 00:42

15K and FoW armor and things like that are meant to be gold sinks. In other words, they are to get rid of gold. People who play the game normally will not eventually get 1M. I have 3 characters over a year old, yet my money only amounts to 40K, and I still haven't bought a lot of the new 15K armor. I only made that money with a good sale of a few nice gold items (at reasonable prices). Don't forget that when a new chapter is released, a lot of people start spending like crazy.

There is no sense hoarding your gold. There is no sense in continuing to farm more when you're so damn rich either. If you need something to do but insist on playing Guild Wars, I guess you're out of luck. And by the way, part of the reason you have nothing to do is because you have so much farmed gold and can buy absolutely everything you need right on the release of a new expansion.

CartmanPT · Jun 21, 2006, 12:43 AM // 00:43

What i want is more nice stuff to spend gold on, then if ppl just want to stay staring at a number instead of enjoying the game its their problem

Um, what the hell are you talking about? The rich get richer and the poor get poorer? This isn't real life dude, what the hell are you ranting on about? It's a game, and if someone wants to spend there time getting more gold, they should be allowed to store it. Just because you don't want to spend the time doing it, as most of us don't, doesn't mean others should suffer because you have a job that prevents you from farming all day, or whatever your reason may be.

I probably have less gold than everyone on this board, and I can't understand what it is you all keep babbling about. Here's what I've gathered from the posts that say this is a bad idea...

I don't have that much gold, you don't need it, so you shouldn't be allowed to have it.

I can't follow the logic on that. You guys are bitching about people who have more time to play games than you. I think most of you are upset that you work a dead end 9-5 job and would rather be playing GW, but instead have to make that rent payment, so in your envy, you say this is a bad idea, when it's really not. Just a thought. Now the other thing that you are all bitching about is Ebay. Why? What's the harm? Give me a reasonable answer and I'll shut up, but I haven't seen one yet.

"Oh No! I've spent months getting this, and someone just bought it off ebay, whine whine whine!"

Why did you bring up what you would like to spend your gold on in here, as if it has a purpose. Why would you write /notsigned after writing "If people want to stay staring at a number instead of enjoying the game, that's their problem."? You made a point showing that there's nothing wrong with people having a ton of gold, but then typed /notsigned. You know what you should do about trying to get more "nice stuff" to spend gold on? Start a topic to get just that, not come into another topic that has little to do with it and use it as a reason for not signing.

i think people need to stop thinking of this idea as the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. people with 1mil plus dont want to invest in something as fragile as the ecto market. if the stock market fluxed so much as the ecto market would you invest in it or keep your money? sure ecto prices rise every once and a while but then shortly after they crash agian. with something that really doesnt hold its value its pretty easy to see the need for more gold space in the storage. oh and there are people in this game that have 1mil + and still farm because they have nothing new to buy. i know there are a few people with every set of fissure armor. what do you buy after that?

o yeah, people who say gettting 1mil in a singal trade is impossible, please take a look at some of the actions that go on here. a 15^50 max damage gold crystalline goes for 2,500,000g easy.

so yes, there is a need for a gold increase for the minority of the guild wars population.

Can't store more than a million gold? If you cant find things to buy, why do you need more money?

Whiplashr · Jun 21, 2006, 06:55 AM // 06:55

As someone who plays casually.. I find the idea that someone who has a full stash of platinum, and chars with the max platinum.. and yet they are still worried that their ectos are going to lower in value.. I dunno, I just find it a bit disturbing. I can't believe how fixated some of you are on wealth.

Like when reading the "what would you do different?" thread, and so many people are like "I would have hoarded ecto's to sell when they were 12K", and many other variations of the same basic thing.. they'd have done whatever they could to be as massivley stinking rich as possible.

I wonder if these people are going to work on Wall Street. They probably should, they are completely fixated on generating more, and MORE, and MORE, and MORE, and MOREMOREMOREMOREMOREMOREMOREMOREMORE!

EDIT: I understand that many people save to buy things, but come on, as others have pointed out, if you aren't spending what you already have, do you really need to have more? I just suspect it's about being the one person who has 1billion platinum first or whatever.

Increase/change storage so those who have the $$$ can spend it on useless stuff like more armour or perfect, rare skinned weapons, without worrying about how little storage space they have.

Keeping ingame money is USELESS. Since the majority of trades above 100k are +ecto/shards/amber, only selling these materials will get the trade value above the 1 mil mark. If you are so rich that you have 1 mil in storage and 100k on each of your six characters and ectos/shards/amber/jade to spare, logic says that you have to find something or someone to spend it on. Go treat a guildie to some spoiling.

art_ · Jun 21, 2006, 07:59 AM // 07:59

If you somehow hit the limit just treat your characters or give some away.
