After making up my choice of what to do with my 1Mil I have decided to use it and add it to my pool of money which I would power trade from.
So 6 hours later spamming in kamadan AD1 something like this...
WTS Meelee Fellblade Q9 55k ||| WTB Armbrace 100k +10 e/ Torment Shield 100k + 5e ||| WTB Ectos 3.7k
Nothing. Did sell a Torment shield for 100k + 25e though which was nice, but still doesnt suffice my 6 wasted hours in kamadan. Is power trading not very efficient or am I just extremely bad at it and / or extremely unlucky.
People have been telling me how great power trading is, I've been trying to buy high-end items for cheap prices but nobody wants to hand their item over, i try to sell high-end items for high prices but nobody seems to want to buy.
Questions:
1. Who am i actually trying to trade to? (other power traders, desparate traders, farmers that want to make some quick $$$)
2. Is it better then farming?
3. How often would I expect to sell / buy high-end items for cheap cash?
4. Should i spam in trade chat, use party search or both? or is guru better.
5. Is power trading worth it?
6. Am I doing anything wrong?
I have 1 mil, what should I do with it?: Spend it, Power trade it, Invest It, Keep It

Option 5. Spend a chunk of it on capping elite skills.
Fun, useful and gets you 4 titles.

I think the first thing you're probably best off doing, is sell those consets/gems. Because selling all of them at an optimal price might not be as easy as you think.
As for your 4 options. If you want more than that million you have. Powertrade.
If you're not all that interested in having more and just want your obsi armor, go get it.
I wouldn't bother with 1. and 3. tbh.

Use it. Do not keep it for the hackers to get interest in your account. Get the money sink titles like party animal, sweet tooth, drunkard or Zaishen. Equip all the heroes on all your characters. Unlock all skills on all chars (but you need skill points as well). Buy a tonic for 500k or smth. possibilities are plenty.
Strife17
ye spend it on titles that need alot of money to achieve, drunkard, party animal
then get title thingy in HoM. and then enjoy the perks that come along with the title HoM for GW2

/agreed with Pleikki.
Buy 200 Z.Keys and get r3. But open when they upgrade with the September's Tonic...so you have chance to win some cash.
Zaishen Title =
-Gold items. (Wisdom title)
-Alcohol. (Drunkhard title)
-Tomes. (Skill Hunter title)
-Sweets. (Sweet Tooth title)
-Lockpicks. (Tesaure Hunter title)
You can be lucky and get even a High-End item... that perhaps worth more than 1000k (i.e: Eternal Blade r9 or Eternal Blade r10)
Good luck if you take that option ^^
Baku The Killer. (I'm r6 Zaishen...never get any good,but well...perhaps you have more luck xD)

Don't listen to Pleikki he smells!
Power trade it so you can have moar moneh. *Say 2/3mil* THEN go for whatever Z-Rank you can.
But it won't be easy to sell all that stuff you have at max price by the way.

So your basically saying 'i've played a game for that long working hard and once i had achieved what i've been working for, i don't know what to do with it'. Here's my advice, since GW2 is coming out i would suggest that you get some titles, minipets and go to HoM. Do what the others are saying some of them are right (Zaishen or Party Animal/Sweet Tooth titles).

You have three options:
1. Give it all away and quit the game (since endgame material is all about grinding anyways).
2. Sell it on EBay and donate the money to starving children in Africa.
3. Don't listen to what other people tell you and do what you want with it.

use it to powertrade and make more money, duh...
you can easily powertrade on weekends and make 250-500k (rough estimate, i'm sure there are people that make loads more, that is just from personal experience). then spend that easily made money on titles.

This thread is stupid. What do you think you do with money?
Spend it.
Then repeat.

The OP is the one asking for people to tell him what to do with his money.
If he already knew what he wanted to do with it, then he wouldn't have started this thread
unkleanone
My personal advice would be to spend it all on z keys wait till the new tonic is put in then go use em all odds are you'll end up with a one or maybe more of them wich will atleast net you 500k more than likely you'll get quite a bit of alcahol and sweets use them for your title or sell them if you've already got those same with any tonics you get that aren't everlasting. sort through all the golds you get and sell the ones that are of value, Merch/salvage the rest rinse and repeat with all the money you get until you end up with max zaishen then use whatever cash you make off the golds and what not you get maxing zaishen to finish maxing any other titles. Its really your best option with the large amount of cash you have.
The only point to GW at this point is you get titles and fill out you HoM in preparation for GW2.

You should give it to me if you are too stupid to think for yourself.

honestly I think you should buy extreme show off armor such as fow mixed with eotn armor. Then go buy yourself awesome show off weapons like a voltaic spear and a tormented shield. Then maybe give some to your friends to make em happy. (that is if you have any left)
Now stop showing off your money on these forums and go waste your money. You didnt need this thread you couldve went to kamadan dis 1 and looked at cool things ppl were selling and look to see what armor theyre wearing that ppl look up to. >_>

If you lean towards giving some of it away, I used to see people now and then in outposts having games. Some sort of trivia (gw-related or not) game in local chat. First correct response got a prize (gold or items or something.)
I always loved those! They'd really get a conversation going sometimes. I'd play just for the fun of it - the prizes didn't matter. But it always got a lot of people involved.
Back before Factions, standing the Thirsty River outpost, there was often quite a lot of tension on the local chat with folks ranting about the mission's difficulty and/or pugs' incompetence. I saw someone start a trivia game in there one day, and that guy changed the entire mood of the outpost - It was really impressive! Once, I saw a game in Ascalon that had so many people involved. The host was asking trivia questions about gw and then random questions. When the host ran out of prizes to give away, folks were having so much fun that they started donating items just to get the guy/gal to keep the game going.
As for going to newb areas and simply giving stuff away to new players, sadly, I don't recommend that. It used to be fun to do those give-aways, I used to do that with weapons I didn't want to keep or be bothered to sell. The last couple times I did it, though, I just wound up having to add a lot of terribly-mannered people to my ignore list. So I recommend prizes rather than give-aways.

lol at these comments about buying things because strangers in a video game will think you're cool for having them. Who gives a shit if some gamer geek kids think you're cool or not.
