I spend a nice amount of time before gw:en getting some cash for the new armors,

now i somewhat plan on buying the last armors i like, but i fear theyre horrible once you get them (Just like my other armors i bought already, dye system on eotn armors is so irritating).

otherwise i might just spend it on lockpicks, minipets and perhaps with a very small chance on weapons (I normally only use the weapons that drop for me, and farm for those i want.)

but i dare say i have reached a point where i don't want to spend my money, simply because what i can get for it doesn't seem worth it o.O

Goodness sakes! Another doomsday thread.

1. ANet would rather sell two games than one, think about that.

2. GW2 will be sufficiently different that many players will stay active in GW as well.

All this is a very long time off anyways.

I wonder how many people will attempt to coat an entire explorable area with 1gp coins for a screenshot. I wonder how many and how much time it would require for something of that magnitude.

I may even do it, eventually.

Depends on how close you pack them

All my weapons are customised to characters and I have very little stored gold, because I spend it (gasp! I spend it!). I may shed a tear when my ranger goes boom, but meh. It's just a game.

I plan on filling out the Destroyer Weapon Rack in my Elementalist's HoM before GW2 - that should give me something to use most of the cash I make on! Maybe I'll also get another armor set or three to put up in HoM beside my FoW (with Destroyer Gauntlets),- oh I still need to get the Chaos Gloves and maybe I could ....
Not really sure I'm gonna have anything much in storage be the time GWII comes along

Trader everything, and spend it on armor sets and miniatures, destroyer weapons, etc.

Me and my friends dropped 800k all together ( 100k each ) on the same spot. We then all picked it up and left xD

It took about 30-40 mins to do it all

I have 21 ecto in storage.
20 came from selling a Mursaat Hornbow that I just happened to have.
1 came from echo-trapping in the Underworld while trying to get Black Widows.

That isn't likely to change any time soon.
My total cash on hand at the moment is around 500k ... and that is only because I have been accumulating cash lately as best I could (and doing many dungeons).

What am I gonna do with it?
Exactly the same as I'm doing now: accumulating more.... so I can kit out more of my characters and make them pretty.
The entire Hyun family will have 15k armour by the end of my escapades, and several of them will have multiple sets (my Necro already has two {Luxon and Bonelace}, despite my Assassin only having one and being my main).

The servers will continue to run even when GW2 is out... so... why waste it?
I however did go through recently and sell ALL my materials and useless crap, keeping only the good old thing, irreplaceable. (wintergreen and peppermint weapons, random funny things)

I sell the few still precious golds and greens and invest in THE FUTURE:

Destroyer Weapons (though some are butt ugly)
15K armors only (I like most ranger 1.5ks better, but they do not go to HoM, so...)
Rare Minipets
Hero Armors
Money for various titles

All fancy gear and stuff gets sold for this. I have nothing else to do anymore in GW, I can prepare for the future. Would be nasty if GW2 turns out to be like a "we learnt from our mistakes to make even more and worse" game, and after the shallow aftertaste that GW:EN left in my mouth, I feel ANet is going into the wrong direction.

Destroyer items are the future? since when? shit skins which fall in price by the day..

Invest in items which will never be replicated in the next game eg "Tyrian" req7's, no negs etc

Rare Mini's are a bit meh...with Anet the way they are, more will be made available.

Hall of Monuments only acknowledges sh!t weapons.
Glowy black and orange lumps of congealed magma sh!t weapons... that is.

GW2 acknowledges Hall of Monuments.... thus GW2 acknowledges sh!t weapons.

Me too. I just HAVE to spend the 30k on something, its almost like i cant sleap if i know i can go shopping

So basically i have no stash, besides a few worthless greens and a few extra armor sets, my storage is completely empty, so i dont care what happens.

Just wanted to point out that the OP didn't say anything about GW shutting down at GW2 launch. When it's near-death could be anytime, from before GW2 release to 3 years after.

Anyway, I'll be stashing all my ecto and golds in my speedos to show off at the beach. And when the sun shines on me just right...

What I am going to do? well...he he, hmmn...lets see:

I already bought 2 Destroyer weapons, I like the Tormented shield & dont have one.....so I solo smites in UW, my last trip brought me back 3 ectos.

Concerning Perfect Golds, I have few (who want a perfect elemental sword req9?) & keep them in case of a crazy one is willing to pay for them

I dont need money, I have enough. I play for the fun not for the honey.

We will of course be able to use them in a special Single Player version of GW, which we can use to continue our game chr's offline! (Or is this wishful thinking? )

Nothing, because I have neither any ecto or "perfect" golds. I'm a cheapskate with roughly 9k, which sucks because I need more money to get my assassin's 1k.

This game is worse than real life, too many a$$holes. Nobody ever spares more than 1k for someone.

I 600/Smite'd 3 days ago with someone with full obsidian armor, a caster crystalline, and a mini-ghostly. He still made me pay the 500g to enter the UW. I was... astonished at how greedy GW peeps are. 500g? He has over 5mill im sure.

50/50 spilt is only fair. I'd make the other person pay as well. Why should they not?

Spend it on titles so some investments can be found back in GW2.
At least that's what I expect of the current known information.

Looks like some people here can use a new goldsink-title as well.

I have a few nice golds and 1 ecto and I need more for my FoW suit.I do tend to save my gold instead of spending it even on skills like RL I like saving it up.

I have NO ectos. I've only had two in the entire time I've played. Really that isn't a big deal. I don't engage in the player market and don't like any of the FoW armor. Only perfect golds I have are a couple of shields and I have maybe 5 greens scattered across 15 characters and all their attendant heroes.

Got 100k in the bank, so it's getting time for another set of 15k armor on one of my characters... that's gonna be only the 3rd set total. I play for fun, not to out e-peen the next person. Life is more enjoyable when you really don't give a crap about keeping up with the Joneses.

As for what I'll do with what I have when GW2 goes live.. Depends on what goodies you actually get from the HoM. If it's worthwhile I might do a bit more intent filling of a few of them. As it sits now.. If a character has anything that can go into one it does.. if not.. no biggie.

I'll probably spend it (the ecto stacks) on armor to put in HoM, or maybe on a minipet. This, of course all depends on what the reward will be in gw2 for them. If it is small or insignificant, ehh its just a video game I wont care too much
