I have nothing to spend my money on, thus hardly any motivation to play at the moment. I will start hoarding ectos for the 9 rings afk fest thats coming up with canthan new year, but thats about it.

Really, when i hit 50/50 and got sweet + party title over wintersday i kinda have nothing left to aim for.

I'm working on finishing my dual vamp irregular damage type collection ie jitte/piercing axe/colossal pick.

Afterwords I will try to get irregular damage sets for guild warriors.

Then I will probably just dedicate a set of torm weapons to blow money. I will consider buying nice skins, but in GW you can't buy stuff that gives you a real advantage over other players...

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Personally, decided to actually do pve titles to half arsed try get to my 50 since i've ran out of points to get without avoiding it so moneys aimed that way. So alcohol and sweets atm.

I'm Obby armour & 10 minis shy of 50 in my HoM. So minis first then obby/ectos for the armour. Tbh though not really that bothered, I don't play as much as I used to but it would be nice to get to 50

Nothing. I don't farm and just have a big pile of platinum in storage. I'm not going to spend my entire vault on one rare skin I like, and as neat as Obsidian armor looks, it's a lot of boring grind to get it.

I'm a avid presearing player, so I've been buying the best Necro weps in pre for my collection to rot on there forever. I've reached 40/50 in my hom, so I guess I'm waiting for gw2 now. Honestly I didn't know if anything besides the hom would "carry over" to gw2. For some reason I've had this mind set of why do this or that when it won't matter when gw2 comes out. :/

I have about 138 alcohol to get... and 13 keys left to get.

After that, all my Zcoins will go to Equipment packs, and my gold to... I don't know... Maybe I'll get all the items in the Calculator excepting miniatures.

I am quite rich in game and can afford any weapon and most exlusive pets. But I already got those too, so there is no incentive to make more money. Plus, friends don't play the game anymore, so neither do I. If I log on, it's most likely due to ZM/ZB. I play SC2 instead.

I spent some RL budget on costumes but that was last year.

I AM NOT SPENDING ONE MORE DOLLAR ON COSTUMES UNLESS ANET DELIVERS A REASONABLE PVE UPDATE.

I'll say to you the same thing I say to all who post such sentiments: if you have more money in GW than you know what to do with, I could use a stack of ectos.

Just sayin'...

Currently buying lockpicks and the occasional alcohol/sweet when I see a good deal. Other than that it's just saved up to buy some mini's that I want. Oh, and I also drop between 5-10k everytime on festival tickets.

I have nothing else to spend my gold in.
Most of my characters have the weapons they need, and I don't like trading for the weapons they want.

So I' suppose I'll gather it while I get Heavy packs, and when each character gets enough room, I'll get them some more armors.
Vabbian is pretty much the only nice armor paragons have, so I'll suppose that will be the next one, even though I already got vabbian with my elementalist.

Now that I actually have money in-game...mostly HoM stuff. Finishing the stuff I wanted to put in mine, helping my boyfriend and my guild leader with theirs, and I gave a friend money to help her sister with hers.

After I'm done with that...I dunno. Splurge on stuff I've wanted but couldn't afford (mostly armor, haha). Commission artwork in Nolani. Maybe do some contests or giveaways.

I just spent some ecto on a Tormented weapon for my HOM (Gwen will like her new staff once we get full hero parties).

Other than that, I am about 800 party points shy of the title and then I'll probably start buying sweets and alcohol (not looking forward to maxing that one).

i never have much money since I never wanted to farm before the HoM update. That and I only play every other year for a few weeks.

But since I found out about the HoM update I'm fairly hooked on trying to hit 25/50. Right now I'm at 16, so a long way to go. I purchased my first prestige armor about a week ago, and another a few days later. it only took me 69 months I plan to buy 3 more sets eventually to get a few more points, and I'll leave the last two points for armor alone.

I might need to invest in getting R2 luck/unlucky title (25% there), I don't like how I did it (afk), but I could use the trophies LOL I guess I'll save up for the dragon festival in a few months after I buy my armor

BU BU and BU =\ It's like a drug, and im totally addicted! Just, runspeed and cooldown reduction makes the game more fun to play.

Gotta save up for some Opressor weapons aswell. Need to fill HOM with them and cant stand destroyer. The one on stand is allready too much

I spent a lot on special weapons for my characters and filling my Hall of Monuments, but at this point I no longer have any planned expenses to worry about. Now I just save or invest in rare materials.

I'm thinking about buying alchohol and sweets for my gf's first gwamm but since she has no interest in getting a gwamm I am at a loss as what to do next.

Buying lockpicks, saving up for more boardwalk gambling come the birthday festival, saving up for possibly replacing MOX's staves if the derv update stops him from running an orders build well, and for replacing Koss's weapons if it stops warriors from running scythes well. And if I can ever make room for more minis, buying the rest of the minis I need for the HOM points.

I used to like buying a lot of high end stuff that I never use just to have it. After a bit of a break, I'm trying to change my ways. Now it's cheap items I know I can re-sell for a profit, runes, lock-picks and weapons.

Still trying to get the rest of the keys needed for my friend to get his z-key rank. Also just bought the last of my alcohol for that title. even got a whole 5 extra just in case.

After that? Probably helping that aforementioned friend's soon to be wife get her obsidian armor. It is not like I need to spend any more gold on myself anymore.

Wow, I'd like to be your friend. (J/K)

Finished the party animal title and have enough points to max drunkard so it's now saving ectos and obsidian shards for one set of FoW armor (HoM 50/50 aim and I'm almost there) and then being a little obsessed with trying to max the lucky/unlucky titles which should give me a nice gap to getting GWAMM on my ritu. (Most of my titles are on my para so it would be nice to give my original main ritu an easier time since he can't get survivor anymore.)

Since my legacy for GW2 is completed and I feel like I have literally nothing else to do, I spend all my money on Gifts, Coffers and the like.
Basically I'm blowing my leftovers out the window for gambling.

In the rare case I get something worthwile from Gifts or Coffers I sell it and buy more Gifts.

Nothing else to do really once you realize that all your platinum will be worthless by the time GW2 comes around. Might aswell spend everything for the lulz.
