Finally!!! im broke again!

finaly, after about 2 weeks of farming and trading and chest running, ive finaly gotten my 15k platemale set and black die for each peice, victos battleaxe and bulwark. when i was making the 220k it took to get it, i started to hate playing guildwars more and more, because all i was doing was pointless spaming in the trade chat, and farming for ectos or weapons. i completely stoped my goal of getting the last .6% of exploration of cantha during that time, and i did absolutly no missions or quests, and was doing no abing(one of my favorite parts of the game). but now that i only have about 8k in storage, i realize that the best experiences ive had during guildwars have been during the periods that i have had absolutly no money at all and have no goals to buy that uber weapon or set of armor.

so what about everybody else, do you like having close to no money at all and not having to worry about getting money, or do you like to make millions of bucks and miss out of a lot of the game aspects.

The irony is that 15k armor w/ Black Dye isn't "uber."

I pretty much stock up money but that's mainly because I don't find most of the 'uber' skins all that appealing. I guess maybe when I find something I 'need' I'll sing a different tune but to me, most 15k armors are overembellished (decorwise) for my tastes. I don't really farm to have the cash...just pick it up along the way.

Yeah, every Wa/Mo has a set of black fissure. you are teh suck.

Kidding, kidding. It was the same for me when I bought my Sephis and Kurz 15k.
Good job on yours though, I must say this: Sundering Sucks.

Farming for my FoW actually made me leave. But i came back finished my set and now I can enjoy the game. I

I Like to be broke cause when you need something you in a hurry to get money or whatever...im like at 60k now and sometime i buy stuff for nothing
but whatever..when i will have enough maybe ill buy a 15k for my Elementalist...
But whatever ...being broke is nice... you can't buy all those cool things anymore....and that hawt :P lol
anyway if i was rich i would buy every little things i want for nothing..lol and i hate farming....i dont know where to and its all pointless with all those nerf right now....

zinger, i know 15k armors arent that great, i ment saving up for anything of large value. i bought guildwars to avoid the grind and just saving up for all of that stuff was too big of a grind to me, and for the ppl that do have millions of bucks will think that the amount of money that i had to made is close to nothing. usualy what i do is what WLlama does.

I remember back when I got my first set of 15k armor. I got it from chest farming, but not that pitiful excuse for chest farming they have going on now; I'm talking the old school solo chest runs back before chests needed keys. Anyway after I finish the latest campaign with all my characters, I like to farm a bit to buy all the new skills and a shiny set of 15k for my new character in the next campaign.

It cost you 220k for a set of armour (75k), 5 black dye and victo's battle axe + Bullwark?

Deldrimor Steel costs 750g or so a piece i believe, black dye is 50k, Victo's Bulwark + Axe is like another 50k.

congrats, i find the 15k platemail to be the best looking warrior armor in the game.

Sorry to be negative, but why did you make this post?

Does it add anything to knowledge of mechanics? Does it convey anything that relates to anyone on the forum? Does it suggest an idea? Present facts not otherwise known by the general population?

The answer is no.

Anyhow, blowing all your money on things that have become cliche is nto too wise either, especially when Nightfall is coming and you might want some of the stuff that's there.

can only say one thing to that.

Well, all he wanted to do was to ask if anybody else liked the thrill of being a little strapped for cash and working for a higher priced item =/

edit - and lol @ that picture

Lol to the pic.

Personally I usually have around 100k, its just an average. I'm working on fow armor for my ranger, and just need the chest piece. However, I agree endless farming and spamming in trade sucks. I pushed myself this weekend to spam for over an hour to sell the 20 or so items I had stockpiled Still have a few but sold enough to make me not hate myself for that hour of spamming. Although, its probably that reason why I've had this game 16 months? and still need the chest piece for my Ranger

Farming like that would make me go nuts too.

I can't even pull in an hour of farming before I get bored from it. So to raise money for armor or whatever I just look for skills I want to cap, bonus's I didn't do, Fed-Ex missions I passed over, and areas I never been too. After a while the gold starts to add up as long as I watch my spending I find the goal very reachable.

Thing is I had a bad key habit for a long time, I probably spent a load of gold on just those, and this was before the titles. But then when I did that I had no 15k to go for or special weapons I wanted.

other than that I try to have fun with the game and try to save up at the same time, power farming just isn't for me.

oops, turns out platemail is the worst armor type

You saved 220k gold, and spent it on:

Sub standard warrior armour.
Black dye.
A sundering weapon.
A decent shield.

There's only one thing in there that was actually worth you buying, Victos Bulwark. The rest were quite bad choices.

i love farming.. i hate spending.. all i ever do is farm... missions suck pvp sucks.. but farming is awsome. i guess its all about what you like to do

just gotta farm a wide variety of stuff.. i cant wait for nightfall cause although i have a full plate of farming spots with factions and prophecies.. no self respecting farmer ever refused a good farming spot.

I would have gone with 15k Luxon or something. 15k Platemail really isn't much more impressive than 1.5k... and in most cases either Sentinals or Knight's is a better armor choice.

Plus, black dye just looks dumb on that set.

All just my opinion of course, but I think you wasted your money.
