Squishy had it right to begin with. Gold means nothing on the playing field.

I have found that the longer I play the less I care about the fancy stuff. 1 set of Obsidian a couple of elites and a few fancy weapons. After 38 months or something like that any new character gets 1k max armor and a bonus pack weapon if it suits. I might have 2 million in gold and a whole heap of materials and such but that's only cause I stopped buying everything just for a new look. Playing the game is so much more what it's all about these days and I'm having so much more fun for it.

maybe they're not dupers themselves, at least they traded with dupers...

I traded with dupers, anet let them keep the armbraces so I was more then willing to take them. Am I baed person now? If you think so, oh well.
"no life" has come up quite a bit. It's quite funny really. I had a lot of wealth, yet if I /age it comes up with just under 1400 hours. That really isn't a lot compared to some on here.
Why did I accumulate so much wealth if it doesn't make me a better player? Because it was fun. Some people like to quest, some like to complete the game on multiple chars. Gaming is about having fun after all. I don't enjoy repeating the game multiple times, so I didn't.
Myth buster time! Trading doesn't require huge amount of time. If you have money people come to you. Guru sell forums and auction area also cut down time spent standing around. It was quite easy for me to offload an 1mill item in under 5 minutes. All it takes is knowing the right people.
I'm pretty much penniless these days. Might have 20k in cash, and maybe another 100k in items if that. I didn't cry/rahe etc when I dumped all my gold/items, the fun is acquiring it and buying nice items to customize.

you know what, i started to like Malice now 
on topic, quitted 5 months ago, all the crap i earned now is worthless to me. so if you still playing the game, enjoy it while you do so, because after you done with it, those minis, req 7s , fow armors means sh*t

And right now is the time to get on the train to powersell. While ectos are rebounding (from what I hear) Time to get aboard and make your claim to that +16851698109801980e shield, that no one cares you bought. As for me. Back to failing in pvp =D

What's the fun of being the top dog in GW? SO WHAT if you have 6million ectos?In the end, they are all digitized graphics, no pratical value. They can't be exchanged to avoid that foreclosure or that 1million debt, now can they? The fun I think is to play the game with the wish of wanting that one item, otherwise you'd be wondering why are you even play gw. Since everything gets old after a few month of repitition.
As for people offering 6000e for a mini, well it's really sad that GW is the only place for them to boast and show-off.

It is not illogical that the systematic interaction of how one deals with individuals in their life cannot extend to this medium. That is what it is, in logic, a medium, a constant, defined in itself and by those who indulge in it. It is an extension of reality but defined by different rules.
I find it amusing that you choose to define those who would consider GW as a possible extension of reality as those unaware of it. Rather, it is those who treat it as such who deserve the outmost respect. You will often find situations in the game that often pertain to everyday life. You will apply the same logical constructs to these situations as you would in real life. People are people, in game or right next to do. They define reality, the medium used to allow communication is rather redundant. Only fools take advantage of anonymity, it is meaningless to me. Words have power only fools would ignore and lo and behold it is them who use them without merit.
Now back on topic.
I've always liked vending. When I first started playing GW, the economy fascinated me and I pursued what it had to offer. The human element and the logical constructs that one could apply to it really kept me enthralled.
I don't farm, it does not appeal to me and it never will. I find that it is a boring and tedious way to earn anything.
Mind you, I am not that rich. I just enjoy casual vending these days, try to make money here and there.
Many of you refer to money as not being a critical aspect of the game. I will challenge you on this argument. It really lies in how one defines GW at its very core. I believe that which defines GW are its items, this becomes overwhelming true once you have been there an done that. I am not saying that the challenges that the game offers are meaningless but one must admit that these challenges only sate a certain amount of your hunger for so long.

You see, having a HUGE number of ecto or gold or whatever DOES have a benefit. When you're finally tired of the game, and feel like quitting, you can sell it all to a Gold Farming company, and get a whole heap of cash irl. Sure, it's against the rules, but really...if your account gets banned, you still get paid. Win/win situation.

To the OP:
I know that some of these uber rich "players" havent been playing GW for months. They spend their time in Spamadan or elsewhere making business like in RL: they buy & they sell. Check the "Pet Price" thread, it makes me laugh so much: " Bought X 5k & sold it 7k, bought Y 100k+17e & sold it 100k+23e...& so on...total profit of the day = Z k + µ e "
For your info I have been playing for 39 months & I NEVER NEVER NEVER made any business. WHY??????
I like to play GW & all what I have has been dropped. The only weps I bought.....to the merchant, are the destroyer ones.
Some people buy games only to make business with & they play the minimum to be able to make business.
I find it stupid but $/£/€ rule the whole world....so why not inside games...
Most of the threads here are the result of this race to become richer & richer (nerfs...DoA...UB...UW...FoW...etc)
You didnt notice it ????? LOL

Master Ketsu
I "only" have 500k ( in pure gold ) and +50K ( in items ) and that's plenty enough to buy random crap. You really only need 4000+ k or something that ridiculous if you want to buy obsidian for every character, despite the fact that pure obsidian sets are not that good looking and only useful as a bragging right.
No thank you. I'd rather wear an interesting unique armor combo and use excess gold to buy weapon mods and elite tomes when I need them. Don't really need much of anything else.
In other words, there is no reason to feel small next to those players. They really don't have any advantage playwise and probably get owned by FOTMWAY in pvp like everyone else. IMO Anything over 1000k in riches is really just fluff. I would only try to get that rich if I saw it as a personal goal like some people on here. I do know a few people have fun trying to get as rich as possible ( Ironically those kinds of players rarely spend there massive amount of cash ) , but that's not for me.

also, if you look at the ecto price activity lately(which is generally very positive), you'll see that the people with 8000 ectos have generated even a nicer heap of money snice ecto 3.5k---->5.5k(as of 08.09.2008)

Just play the game for fun. These people that have played for 5000+ hrs or something and have 1 billion ectos or whatever they hell they have, you wanna see what they are IRL????
Will see em out in the street talking to random women
'Ill give you 5000e if you be my GF!!'
Seriously lol, just play for fun. Enjoy you 1000 hrs or so that an average player plays GW for. These ppl buying and seeling high end stuff from eachother doesnt affect your life. Its more or less the same 50 or so ppl buying and selling the same items to eachother, just have a browse through highend lol, you'll see em everywhere.
*rant over*
And i honestly couldnt care less if ye flame me, cause ye know its true and so does everyone else.

Some of you really don't have a clue. Instead of posting random idiot comments, actually go try trading for a while and see how much better off you could possibly be.
AKB48
If it's hard for you to make 50k and you see people around you buying stuff for 6000e, of course you're gonna wonder "how do they do that?" "how can they get so rich?"
And he's not complaining, read the title of this thread: Can you really be THAT rich? He's just a poor player of GW wondering how do people get so rich. And if you're think a lil trading is all it takes to get 6000e.....my suggestion: relearn the whole trading process, por favor.
Ok, now flame:

No one will make 6k ecto these days by trading. Making a few mill still isn't out of the question.

Powertrading died over a year ago. Nobody is going to make a few thousand ectos from it anymore because everything has a basic price now. There are no new items or uber rare minis that have an unstable price. However it is possible to make a moderate sum of money with just some casual playing. I started using my ele to terra in UW when that style of play first began in ToA. Today I have around 600 ectos whether it be from buying them or farming. Making money is possible you just have to go about it the right way.
maraxusofk
lol do ppl will over 1000 ectos worth of stuff still play this game?
