Agreed.

Being in a guild is very helpful. Try it.

I'd love to see a detailed step by step accounting (detailing every gold piece) of someone making a new character and then having 100k by Droks just by playing through the game normally. Wouldn't ever happen IMO.

You are correct.

After playing a Rit over the weekend in the BMP, I've decided to make one. So, I'll accept that challenge. I'll make the Rit then transfer across to Chapter1.

Set your parameters.

Note - Could take some time though. My play time is weekend ony generally, and then it's only a few hours per day.

I have purchased less then 20K in goods from other players. I've farmed and just played the game for most of my gold.

Have you ever bought or sold any materials/dye/etc to a trader? If so, then you have at least some gold that was laundered by the trader orginated from gold farming bots. Keep in mind that the money you recieve from NPC traders selling goods had to originate from somebody else buying goods from the trader. Prices for stuff would not be the same accross the board if bots didn't exist.

I barely have time to farm anymore, & when I did I would farm for about an hour a day. Other then that I've made my money from, *gasp* playing the game normally. Most quests give money, completeing missions the 1st time gives money, vanquishing gives money, picking up every piece of garbage & selling it to the merch gives money. None of my money came from selling anything to another player, I just don't have the patience. So, if you have the time to play the game, then you have time to make money. stop crying about being broke & play the damn game.

time, and learning. we learned what to keep, and what to merch. when to salvage, and when to merch. We learned what people would buy, what they wouldn't. As we learned, so we hoarded, and thus, money!
