imo, FoW is a little boring. Make a little bit more money, and equip your main character with Torment gear Shield + Axe/Sword would be pretty cool

I just spent a large amount of my cash on 2 Torment Items. Shield for my war and daggers for my collection.

I'm now having more fun trying to get some funds back

Hold contests! Better yet, go to Ascalon City and donate to the beggars. There always tons of them there. I give back to the GW community in the form of helping people with Ruins of Surmia at least once a week. I'm poor so my philantropy is more hands on.

I'd definately join the host contests suggestion.

Also, is your guild hall fully kitted out?
Do all your characters have your ideal equip?
What about guildies?

First off, I highly doubt anything will transfer over to GW2, especially gold -- of course I could always be wrong, but I doubt it.

Now, back to your question... hold giveaway contests, give handouts to low level characters that aren't begging for it, or if that doesn't suit you I would gladly put it toward some armor sets I've been wanting.

Alternatively, you could try turning off your computer and:
A) Go outside
B) Volunteer/get a job
C) Spend more time with friends/family

I don't think anyone else has mentioned this, but at this point GW2 is nothing but rumour, and even if it does prove to be true, the rumour stated that it wouldn't be out until 2010. You have a few more years of Guild Wars yet.

But if you're bored make some new characters, try a class you haven't used before. If you really think you're finished with Guild Wars then give it a rest for a while, Chapter 4 should be out shortly and I'm sure it'll have something to keep you occupied.

start making collections. 2 million won't get you that far so you'll have to start working on making gold again.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Give it to charity. E-mail ArenaNet support and ask them to donate some money to Comic Relief for the sacrifice of some of your wealth. I'd love to see how they respond.

Well, like many long time players you can get burned out of playing any MMO. Like me I took a break from GW but in the event lost out on a few items like the first dragon mask and 1st Halloween and Christmas festival because that is when I took my break, but I dont feel any loses and was a great refresh for me because the new expansion was soon to come out and there was new content to enjoy once again.

Sometimes you have to step away from a game and then make your choice if you want to play or not since this is a free to play game you can basically hold onto your items/gold if you like or give them away once again your choice.

Take a break. I gave away all of my stuff and left June '06, about 5 months (No GW, No other games) later I came back and everything was WAY different, better than before. It was a great refresh and I had fun earning my gold back.

If you are really bored, give away your account. Uninstall Guild Wars. Pick up a new game or try something different.

Spend it all on coffers. Won't matter since your bored. you may even get a mini mallyx. Or just do a contest in which you award people for doing something.

1) Buy a nice set of fissure armor. This shows people you're rich (with the slight chance of getting called an eBayer)

2) Buy items for the titles where buying it is really really necessary (incorrigible ale hound, font of wisdom)

3) Become one of those guys who hang around Great Temple of Balthazar and just talk.

If you've done all of the above and are still bored, well better get farming because you probably wasted 2 mill on the above

Mini contest is definitely a good idea, you can also hire about 50 faction farmers to gain factions for your guild, so that you will control a town easily.

I hate it when people ask for the gold -.- You should do something for the community, like other people suggested, host mini contests and stuff in that nature.

Get yourself a torment weapon/armbrace of truth....that'll take most of your money...

Or if you're really brave, delete all your characters and start all over...hehe

When I first started GW money was hard to come by. What would the point be to amass 2 million? Weapons in PvE make very little difference and good enough ones are incredibly simple to obtain from collectors. Level 20 armour is level 20 armour. If you want the status of an expensive to make set of armour good luck to you, but it is purely there for the look, ie. cosmetics.

Seeing as this empty topic generated some buzz, I guess I'll through my 2 cents in. Here they are:



2 million is nothing in this game, I have no idea what are you bragging about, go buy a mini Naga and Yeti and you will be out of your 'riches' in a matter of seconds.
