i was sittin in a town recently finding myself more bored then normal and a question struck me. If i lost all my gear loot etc would i start over at this point in the game. (meaning at this point in time of the GW shelf life).my question is would you? now dont flame and scream and holler.
if the post is in the wrong spot i apologize.
When i sat and thought about it for a minute i dont think i would. when i started this game in the way long ago everything is fun right. wealth just kinda accumulates. As i progressed through the game i started doin UW Fow soloing this and that, then the gold begins to pile. everything becomes a bench mark to hit and work towards. at least thats how it was for me. now im sittin with stupid amounts of gold blowing it on Zkeys for the most part. lol. <Enormous waste> heh. anyways im not strokin the e peen but i figure i might have like 3-4 million in gold and ecto and if it poof went away i think id just shelf GW. what would you do?
Cronk
PS maybe this is more a question if i should even be playing anymore lmao?
Would you or wouldnt you?

No, but I would dedicate myself to getting LDOA.
Alleji
Yes. Well, I'd continue to play as much as I do now... which isn't very much at all.
I'd be annoyed at having to use ugly-looking PvP chars though >.>

No lol.
I play like 7 minutes a week as is, so w/e.

lolno, I'm no masochist
Lycan Nibbler
no, but I have other accounts anyway
Shadowhaze
I'd probably be to depressed about all the hours put into the lost chars to play right away. Would I go back? I'm not sure. 
Chicken of the Seas
I'm not sure if I'd go back after all that work, I might just start anew with GW2. Then again I'd be reminded of all the extra stuff we might get from titles and such, so I'd probably remake my character(s) again. 
The Red Messenger
i like to start from scratch. always have in past games i played.
but it would have to be all items AND characters. just losing all the loot would feel more like a waste than a fresh start.

StormDragonZ
Of course, I would... then, devout my entire time to that one, new character.
wind fire and ice
I would make a ranger ele war and monk,get them semi-decent skins,and a set of 75k armor and AB,talk and RA like i always do.
Soo,yes,if i could keep my main account i would restart.

Couldn't, I've already played this game too much : o

Under my schedule, it'd take too much time to regain so much work that I've put into all my character, along with a few precious things that I've earned/done.
If I didn't have anything to lose, or rather, I was a new player to the game, I'd probably try to make one new character and only focus on it.

I might start back over with no gold, assets, or built up characters. Id probably make a female character and stand in presearing and pretend i was a newb asking for help on "how do i play this game" Ive noticed that lots of players will assume that a female character has a female playing it and in turn will offer all kinds of assistance.

If I just lost the armor weapons and money, I don't see why not. Borrow cash from a friend, get max 1k armor, farm a bit, pay them back, go on as I did.
If I lose the characters themselves. I'd probably remake my Necromancer, but hardly play *just do enough so that I can participate in community events - the biggest reason why I still play*. No biggie. I just wouldn't have anything near GWAMM by the time of GW2. I'd probably only pay attention to the Forum, get on to talk to friends, and be around for events. Other then that, I'd probably play other games.
Molock
I would still come online once in a while to chat with friends but I wouldn't continue working on my titles.
Luminarus
Id completely restart with a brand new main. Probably wouldnt be a ranger coz ive alrdy done him, probably a warrior, paragon, or assassin.
germanturkey
if i had to completely restart, i think it would be an interesting thing to do. i recently powered my 30 something month old monk from level 11 to 20, and boy was it refreshing. doing something new is always good. and i basically spend all my money all the time anyways, so having no assets isn't that much of a change.
if i had to do it all again, i would stick with an ele and maybe a monk. just because its fun to play as them.

I'd just quit GW.....Demigod is coming out in a few month and Starcraft2 is coming out in December and so is Red Alert 3(I think). So lots choices out there and GW=trash now anyways filled w/ no lifers and overpriced craps.
Icy The Mage
I recently got hacked a couple of weeks ago, and lost everything but my armor (they left my chaos gloves ~.^) So yeah, even though I lost everything, I pretty much kept playing, there's PvP to explore if you've been PvE'ing for a while, and the contrary. Plus, there's always friends there to help you out in your time of need 
realtalk916
ive started new accounts manytimes, but as far as what ive accomplished this last time. no way, id play another game

My favorite titles are the Lucky/Unlucky chains and the Luxon-groupie one.
One of my favorite things to do in GW is building up a new character. I've deleted Legendary Survivors in FoW, guys that were 2 years old, ... just to be able to create a new guy that could run around Shing Jea again (and yeah, bringing a lvl20 guy there just doesn't feel the same ...).
So losing all gear wouldn't pose the slightest problem. I'd just make a new ritualist ...
If on the other hand my account would be banned and lost my above listed titles, then I don't know if I'd continue playing. I've invested WAAAY to much AFK-ing into Lucky to just start over ...

I would start over again, but only not that dedicated as we are now getting
titles etc.

If I lost every penny, yes. If I lost my characters I'd be done.

Is this some poll to see who you can hax and cares the less?
Or who cares the most?
What should I answer?
If I don't care then you break in knowing you're doing no moral harm. If I do care then you break in to screw those that care the most.
*looks over his shoulder*

I'd keep playing as long as my characters are safe. ^^
CronkTheImpaler
i hope alfie is kidding seriously. this is not a poll nor am i "haxing" wtf??? haxing lmao. anyways this is just a reflection of all the people who have achieved wealth titles status of any kind at all. it is directed towards those players that feel they have really accomplished what they wanted out of the game AND whether or not they would re-invest all the time required to get back where they were.
one year ago i wouldnt have batted an eyelash at it, absolutely i would have got right back after it. now i just dont think id have the interest ,drive, whatever ya want to call it to get back to where i am now.
Cronk
maybe thats the difference between those that play because they love the game and those that have to have a reason to play?
<<< keep the comments coming there is a larger picture that will snap into focus once i have enough responses>>> thanks

Amnel Ithtirsol
Yes.
I'd be a bit p1$$ed off if I lost everything. Braces, ectos, mini's, skins... took quite a bit of effort to get some of those.
But I'll calm down eventually and continue playing.
At least until Aion, D3 or GW2...

nuff said.
Recently Opened "GW Trilogy" (i think that's its name on USA), no weapons, no cash, no balthas, no unlocked skills.
Pretty Much fun haha.
Shasgaliel
I think I will not go back. GW is wonderful game but I would just not start anything from scratch again. I could survive loss of minis. titles etc but I would not want to go around every corner and redo all the quests/missions again. I guess I might restrict myself to pvp and pre-searing for a while but I am not sure it will work for a long. In other words I would probably quit the game after some time this happened.
komma
I would play again but with an entirely new approach to the game....would prolly do alot more pvp.
pumpkin pie
I think me buying and starting new characters many times should answer your question. only if I have the money and time to invest into this game further, but I don't! I don't even have time to log in for the Halloween Reduex that i see players mention here.
Taking a break now, then back to work... tight deadline!!!!!! damn it, I am going to miss the AB weekend again.

If I lost everything... Well, I guess it'd take me about a day to get max armor and weapons for my main avatars again. So no big loss.
Issac
Only really play two characters so I would only work on them if I lost everything.
I know all of us would be hitting the gold sites lol.

If I lost all gold/weapons/armour, then I'd keep playing and working on titles as usual and rebuild wealth over time. gold/weapons/armour aren't quite as important as the time investment put into the achievements.
If I lost the characters too then I'd keep playing, but would not work on titles. I don't work on titles that much as I play mostly for fun and the social aspect of the game. Once I got a couple of characters back in a fit state to do HM dungeons and play with guildies I'd be quite happy to keep playing.
If my account was banned or stolen, then I wouldn't return to the game.

It would actually be a kind of liberating experience, I guess.

I start again, you'd still have your account wide titles like the PvP ones and Lucky etc. Might be quite refreshing to view the world through a newbs eyes again.
Aera Lure
No. No way would I start over. I have a hard time finding the desire to log in as it is, and a technological hurdle to overcome before I even can. Not motivated to do that. Three things would deter me from starting over. They even deter me right now from logging in:
Play has shifted dramatically towards AI usage. Much of the fun I got from playing was in all-human groups and that's just too rare these days.
New areas to explore, new monsters and items to find, but there is no more new content.
Limited character development and the use of max-stat skins. Great at first, but over time, I found little to strive for, which was the death knell for me given the previous two things I loved had begun to fade or come to an end.

Interesting question. For myself the answer is no,- I've spend way too much time taking my main char through everything and getting GWAMM. Just thinking about having to do it all over brings tears to my eyes!
