Does it really matter how many armors have you bought during this year or more, or what you have done? I mean, farming is not something to be proud of o.0 Having fun is. In my opinion having a different looking character is quite enjoyable. While playing lots of pvp with pvp char is not so satisfying in "looks" point of view. But If you are having fun why would you be sorry for not having these items...?

As of 2 days ago, number 1 as well. 16 months old.

I do have 3 sets of 15k armor tho. Any weapon I need I get in green, much cheaper.

I have now deleted 3 characters I wish I hadnt. If Anet had made it so easy to change secondaries and move skill points earlier, each character would be sitting pretty.

I've not been too much on pve in the last...oh almost year. AB's FTW!

Hm.. I've had a total of 4 accounts, I have two still. The accounts were: r11 (19k fame), r10 (9k fame), my accounts now: r8 (4k fame), r0 (0 fame). Something around 6000 hours on my now main account. Not sure what that equates to, adding all accounts hours.

aaaaaaand.. I quit gw about a month ago.

I didn't say I ONLY farmed totem axes, but thanks for sharing with us that you have very poor reading comprehension...

I said I started farming them almost as soon as I got to ventaries refuge... from that point in the game I have spent about half my time farming, the other half working on characters doing missions ect...

Don't think that just because it'd take you a lifetime to make some money that everyone is as slow as you are.

7 months, I farm a hour a week tops, mostly it's like 10 minutes. Don't eBay. All drops come from missions and the fact that I always carry keys in level 20 area's. I play an avarage of a hour per day and one day with 4 hours of play.

1) generally have arround 30k in stash, most of the times when it rises I buy something I want
2) Sevaral 15^50 weapons of several types, most of them high req. When I want something I browse sites to find something not too expensive but near what I want.
3) Two full sets of 15k, could have had three but I decided to invest in several bowstrings, axemods, refill my key collection and buy that Green that I've wanted for a while.

So, I really don't see the problem?

Two accounts...7 ascended chars, 2 others very close, one pre-searing storage character, one pre-searing dye farmer character, 1 slot with a brand-new mesmer. Between both I only have two sets of 15k armor on one character, but I've probably got somewhere around 250-350k gold, tons of max weapons of all types (collector's, purples, golds, greens), plenty of materials & dyes, spare runes, etc. I farm occasionally for fun (hydras, griffons, minotaurs, ettins, rarely desert wurms & sand giants) and with my pre- character, but mostly just play through the game. One of these days I might even get around to finishing Factions lol.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, first account is 14 months old, second is 10 months old. Never eBayed anything, only been to FoW and UW once each, never farmed SF or anything in Factions either, have done ToPK a few times.

Even playing through the game my first time, I was able to save up 40k when I reached Droknar's Forge. Later on, when I learned how to trap in underworld, I was able to make enough money for the things I wanted. I have since wasted most of the money.

Sign, and then fill in the numbers which apply to you.
1. /notsigned, currently have 150k, most I've ever had is around 175k.
2. /notsigned, have a few perfects/greens...although some chars still use blues as their primary.
3. /signed, I've given up on 15K/Obsidian armor. I don't have the time or money to work toward those. I'd love to have them, though. Hard enough for me to just get the 7.5K ones.

I'm around 600 hours played since GW:P release. Started during E3 for Everyone. I'd probably have more hours clocked, but I've got a wife, 2 kids, and 2 jobs. And my wife wishes I played less.

it feels strange that the OP has so little since making money shouldn't be a problem if you play the game normally and getting perfect weapons nowadays is relatively cheap depending on the skin of your weapon.

1 can apply to anyone
2 makes no since it handicaps the person and getting like I said before is easy.
3 this is a choice for people since not everyone likes buying armor that others won't notice right away or at all. This is mainly for self-satisfaction.

Come on man, you're just lying. You get way over 10K by just going through the storyline, you can easily buy 1.5K armor by the time you get to Droknar's Forge (and probably at Kaineng City too, but I've never had a Canthan character), and the last missions will most certainly get you a couple of Platinum.

1. The most gold I've ever had is 1000K (I also had 250 Ectos and 250 Shards at that time). Didn't take long to spend, and now, I barely have anything. I deleted both my characters with a FoW set, including all their customized items, of course.
2. The only perfect Gold item I have is a Gladius at this moment, with -5 Energy, but I guess I'm just one of the few that doesn't mind using Collector's items.
3. I only have one set of 15K currently, but I've had 2 FoW sets, and I'd say about 20 15K sets over the last 16 months

These days I don't really care about gold anymore. FoW sets are all ugly, so I don't have to worry about, and if I want to, I can farm enough gold for a 15K set in 2 days, so if I want a 15K set, I just farm a couple of hours.

1) Around 2000k actually XD
2) I tend to use collectors and greens or crafters, but I do have a 15^50 req.8 Wingblade just for the looks
3) Yeah that's me, FoW Barragers tend to enjoy being nublets these days for some reason. But I have had around 8 sets of 15k over the past 12 months.

Heck, I've been playing the same girl for years, and I can't seem to get her past Level 7.

Ok, truth is I don't have 10 plat on any account. Heck, I might not have 10 plat total. I don't have 15K Armour on any of my girls. I buy a lot of stuff for friends and newbies, so I tend to have gold run through my fingertips. The only thing I'm sort of manic about is the holiday items.

And I don't have... ah wait, I might have the perfect weapon, thanks to a guildie who gave me a lovely vampiric bow. (Come to think of that, that may not be perfect, but dang I love that bow!)

lol,

Gaile, I find it hard to believe that you don't have a "God Mode" command. If you want I can show you some great farming spots, and If you are really lucky I will show you my 55 monk sweet spot. It earns me about 100k in 2hrs. OMG what am I saying! Gaile I will pay you 100k just to do a mission with me. Then I could take screenshots and tell everyone about our romantic time together.

I never get to 1000k, everytime I get close to it, I get lazy.
Money is only meaningful if you have something in mind=P
I dont dig the look on any "set armor" I perfer mix them around myself so I dont need to worry about ecto and shards(I gave them to friends that want them)
I dont realy need gold perfect stuff, I can settle for green=P As long as I can pvp with them. (but yes I do have a few gold perfect weapons, which I find them myself pefect platium sword, gothic axe, golden maul, divine staff jade and amber bows, for god sack I been playing a year)
Hardly farm, cause never find the reason to do so....make enough money for normal spending is my goal, which I already am.

but yes, I do know one that have very little to nothing for a year of playing, he is one of my old guildi=P
a year of playing not a single pve char=P but hey, he get something money cant buy..pheonix!!

I did the same thing when I first started guildwar
Now, all my friend are wealthier then me.
I am the last to get my 15k armors
So other then ecto and shard or perfect items, they hardly ask for anything anymore And the guild dont have new comer for sometimes.

I still have few perfect and close perfect weapon that I dont use in stock. Money is only good when you have something in mind, so I never get off my lazy ass to sell them I think I have a few perfect bows, since I find you doing a good job as a pr, I will make sure I give you something next time I see you.

If you did this for a week, honestly, you had to have earned at least 10K during that timeframe, even if you sold everything you found to the merchant and material trader. I have a hard time believing that you didn't receive one shard that entire time.

played since the start of guildwars
1. yeah I have more than 10k, but thats like owning nothing anyway
2. Got like 20 perfect golds I think, not so hard to get. Forget about farming try trading
3. 5 chars, 5 sets of 15k, 2 sets of Obsidean armor

15k armor isnt hard to get, I remember when I got my first and that was just from playing the prophecies story line.

knowledge = money, even if you know how to do it you still have to actually DO IT. There is no place to go where you receive a sure 100k an hour.

1. /notsigned I currently have 981k + 2350 Ectos and have maxed all my materials in storage (Have spent nearly 35 Million or so since I started right after the beta. Made most of my money before AoE nerf soloing UW)
2. /notsigned I have an undisclosed number of perfect rare skinned golds and some not so rare skinned perfect golds + I have some Greens
3. /notsigned I currently have 8 (1 of each class) PvE characters 5 of which have 1 set of FoW and 1 set of 15k each. The other 3 PvE characters are my Monk, Assassin, and Mesmer. All are female and I am not fond of the way the FoW armor looks on these 3.

I have played since the first day Guild Wars was released and I have unlocked all the skills for all the professions and have almost every Elite Skill for each profession all unlocked through PvE. I have 11 Players Slots (8 PvE, 1 Mule, 2 PvP Slots). As far as disclosing the number of hours that I play I am at work an d not able to check that figure nor would I care to tell any of you that number cause I am sure that it is an extremely embarrassing number. But hey at least I have a fun hobby that I never grow tired of. I can't wait to dig into Nightfall!
