This will be interesting. Especially with all the whining in "how are you supposed to make money?" thread.

Don't post an amount without a SS.
This is going to be fun.

Edit: SS = Screenshot

I hope you realise no one will have over 1 million (or 2 with a 2nd account etc.) because it's the max you can have. If they add characters, then 1.4mill. This is stupid.

when u reach a milllion mark, u start counting ectos/shard/sapphires/rubies and other expensive stackables. BTW i wonder who would actually post their ss... considerign that they probably be bombed with pms and beggings.

basically someone who :
- exploited old farming
- exploited newbs to buy low sell high all the day
- exploited the price reset
- exploited ebay
- exploited xxx
- exploited yyy


"Richest" people are people who exploited the game in a way or another.

This is an easy problem to get around.

Step 1: Make a new character

Step 2: Leave Presearing with your new character

Step 3: Transfer the majority of your weath onto the new character for screenshot display

Step 4: After screenshot has been taken, Transfer wealth back to where it was.

Step 5: Delete the character in the screenshot.

Not necessarly exploited the game, but people who exploited other players fit this category too.

:On that note, Rich people in RL exploited the world. They hack and are horrible people! Wanting FOW armor is a sin and if you want it but don't want to spend 10000000 hours getting a million gold from 8 person parties I guess you have to stop playing:

I am rich i got 5 sets of 15k armor that says enough of how rich i am

Na j/k i do have that but im kinda now to say it POOOoOOR!!!!
Being rich is something lots of people argue about whats rich? haveing 1mil on your storage? having FoW armor and 1mil? most of the time you used Ebay for that. Others say that they are rich with 100k on the storage i agree more with that because you can buy the most of the things for 100k >.< still a lot but 100k is a good starting fund if you look at it.

Hmmm something is missing but i forgot what it whas il be silent for now .

The richest will be item collectors, with all the 15>50 Crystallines and such. Hands down. That and the odd 15% no condition ones that are floating around, they beat any number of ecto :P

For sixty bucks real money I could claim the prize. It's called EBay and requires no skill.

I think there was some statistic floating around, apparently the majority of accounts have less than 20k. I'm sure a search would find results.

Too much to bother with the screenshots. I only have 15k in storage, however I also have two perfect and almost perfect vampiric eternal bows of fortitude (req 9 15 in a stance and 14>50), one close to perfect, two perfect zealous short bows of defense (one req 10, other req 9), one perfect poisoners storm bow of defense (req 9 15>50 I got rid of the chaddy 10/10 sundering and +30 fortitude), a perfect vampiric cleaver of defense (req 9 15>50).

I also have three sets of armour for my ranger, one with minors, one with majors, superiors in the headgears and a 15k set full of superior vigors so I can mix and match to be completely flexible. A few rubies and sapphires and 83 shards.

I wouldn't say I'm the richest, but I know I am pretty damn wealthy to be able to afford all that junk.

I hit the gold limit for my account a while back and realized that I am still very poor compared to those who trade the higher end items. =X This is a difficult title to claim due to the subjective nature of the item values.

Aside from people who exploited earlier on in the game, runners can easily make a million.

I've probably spent around 700k on my chars and I have 170k in storage. I've never done any serious farming or running, it's just come from selling things and making sure I always keep the money I have in storage going up instead of draining it.

The richest person in GW is probably a bot, anet loves botters.
I have seen the same group of bots going out of augury for the last 2months, so im guessing its the person who owns those :P

I don't agree that you have to be an exploiter to have a lot of ingame wealth. Those who farm SF a lot and get lucky drops can easily make hundreds of thousands off of sells in no time. A lucky FOW or UW chest drop can easily make you over 20-30 ectos. It's a matter of how you spend your time in game.

On reflection, Henchies are the richest players. Imagine how many Razorstones they have stolen over the months..

i'm pretty rich (around 290k), but i wont buy the last 2 missing fissure pieces for my main character (dont like to look like an ebayer clone)
i got the fissure armor from solo monking back in the day, my weapons from griffon runs and then there are green items on each character, of course. i didnt farm in a while and was down to around 100k before xmas. but i made some gold from ids farming.

A friend of mine has around 200k, full fissure on his mesmer, 2 piecesof fissure on his necro, 2 piecesof fissure on his monk, and is about to get fissurelegs for his warrior.

Time it took him to get the money for his full mesmer fis? 3 weeks, intense green item farming. @_@.

But not 2 man groups in very smeckzy places rake in the dough, and I'm lovin' it. <33 @ sahdowy creatures.

I believe that this storage belongs to Foe Toe [SHOP]. I personally have experience with this character.

Hockster, if you're not even top 10 in your guild, can you ask one of the top 10 (preferably the nr.1) to show his storage/inventory?
