This is most of my belongings in the game.
Try to beat that!

As you can see, i have an ecto and FIVE shards!
I also have a couple of nice weapons and one green scroll.

Seriously, i dont really feel i need to be rich in Guild Wars. I can enjoy the
game without expensive weapons and rare armor. And i really dont need to
have 1 million gold sitting in my storage doing nothing.

Maybe thats just me. Maybe im crazy

I get rich on experience rather than gold and items

I currently have 4k. I am then getting 300k soon (dont ask what im selling) I have 15k armor on my beutifull ranger (Goddess Of Melandru) and I have 15k Ascetics and 2 peices of FoW armor for my monk. I am quite wealthy with a perfect req 8 14>50 eternal bow. All I need now is a good healing icon for my monk .

I have:
around 18k
no shards
no ectos
no materials at all actually
no rare weapons
and 15k armor on my Ranger.

Puts me at the low end huh

I've never even been in the UW or FOW, and I have never farmed not one griffon.

The FoW tats are armour not tatoos, all FoW has the same appearance, which for necros is the spikes, the tats you might be thinkin of are the 15k ones.

I know I am even below Oreos and this is just the unwanted items or partial stacks that I gave away at the LBS Christmas party...

Once you become "rich" in your own mind you start to meet people in the game that make your mind spin. I also believe that I know the richest person in the game if it is .......oops almost posted name.

I would imagine LBS has unheard of wealth. I mean, she's been running forever, which collects a lot of gold. And let's not forget her shield and the other shields she has. That tall shield of her's is worth more than you. Yes you.

Not really. Just about a month or two before the price reset there was another update which made all the traders work on that principle of "what players sell, is what the trader has", which made the prices of materials fluctuate madly. At this time the economies of america, europe, korea and international district were different. People in korea had very low ecto/shard prices, so they dumped it to the international district. Few smart americans got the times of this down and were present in international districts to buy this cheap ecto/shard and sell it in american market. I knew a few folks who had a few k of ectos/shards this way. They are not playing the game anymore though.. lol.

And you're full of shit. The most I have ever sold anything for in GW is an Icy Dragon Sword for 50k. Almost all of my money has been from coin drops or selling items to the merchant. Anyone who has a W/Mo and at least an inkling of skill can make 20-30k a day, every single day, and never have to sell or auction a thing on a forum or in the trade channel. There are enough builds in these forums for anyone to use and be rich, if they donated their time. People who criticize and whine have no assets in this game only because they make no effort. Anyone who complains that they grind all day and only make 500g need to move on from Charr. Sheesh I could make 10k a day just farming undead in Nebo and Gates of Kryta mission. And that was before I discovered that the desert was a flourishing goldmine. There is no better return on money for time than in the desert, for a soloist of modest skill. Advanced players can solo more lucrative areas, but I consider myself the poor man's rich man, and I always try to promote builds that are easy to adopt and don't require expensive runes or equipment.

My net worth is a little over 1 million, and ZERO of that came from exploits or ebay.

Shield cost about 320k, the most expensive thing I've ever bought, by far. All the dyes farmed, not bought.

so what ? do you think that 1 million make you "one of the richest people"? come on... richest people have LOT of millions... and they exploited the game in a way or another. the only exeption might be runners. Still, I think you can't have like more than 1,000 ectos by simply playing the game. Definitely

Aww you think runners are more honourable than solo farmers ^^? Getting a lv 4 to augury so s/he can skip the entire game and ascend themself, then leech of real chars for the duration [hehe srry LBS].

NEVER use the same email address you register on ANY forum, as the same address you use to sign in with. The email you sign in with should never be used with any guildwars affilated site.

Besides all the creeps that want your accounts now. Do you even enjoy the game?? Like playing with friends in tombs? or just helping them for free to get somewhere?
Or is the day on Guildwars only poor griffons (they must be extinted by now) farming and running around all over the map?

Before you asked. No i dont have massive amount of money and i dont need it. I have what i need to fight and have fun in the game.

Good luck farming/running.

Believe it or not, some people enjoy running all over the map and killing things. And helping guildies and friends. And helping random strangers do missions. You'd be surprised what some people accomplish in a day's worth of playing Guild Wars and still have a little wealth. Nobody needs a lot of money in this game. Some people like expensive armor. I just like expensive toys.

It was posted some time ago that what, 90% of the GW players have less than 10 plat or something like that, so I'm at least in the upper 10%. And why not have 1000 ectos? Spend enough time in the desert and you can have thousands of hydra claws or griffon wings. Spend enough time in UW and you can have thousands of ectos. Some people are dedicated to getting what they want. Some people are dedicated to bitching and denial.

he (and i knew the guy in real life, he used to work where i do, b4 he got fired) was one of those people that was mega rich b4 the ecto price-reset, and what he told me is that he managed to buy over 1,000 of them at a severely reduced price, and then resold them for lord knows how much, waited for ecto prices to fall, and then repeated.

i did a similar thing, but i was not nearly as wealthy as he at the time of the price-resets.

Ahhhhh I couldn't resist
I know I'm far from the top, still I managed to put away a little money. I have 2 more chars with 100k each and inventories full with gold weapons, nothing extraordinary but good level items, and I have a friend holding 500k for me as I really don't know where to put them (she also got 40 globs, 20 shards for Christmas and 200k worth of green items).
By the way, I solo farmed a couple of weeks not more, and I don't resell stuff (except 3 Rago flame staff that's all).

For everyone who was asking abnout the swords, here they are. Not as exquisite as some, but they serve me well. I'm still looking for three or four more req. 8 wings to complete my ___slaying set. Aslo added a few things form my other characters. Out fitting 11 characters across three accounts is not an easy, nor cheap, past time.
