What do you plan to do with your high-end items as GW2 looms closer?

Here is an interesting topic, and one I'm sure we're all excited and curious about.

Does everyone have plans on what to do with their high-end items (asian minis, old-school weapons, etc) before the release of GW2?

Will you sell them all or let them collect dust? and for that matter, what would you do with all the ectos and armbraces?

Considering I don't like the vast majority of high-end items and really dislike the whole idea of minipets I buy only those items I really, really like. That said, I'll be keeping most of them and maybe selling a few just to have some ecto and plat for some obsi armors. That way when I take a break from GW2 I can go to FoW and buy myself an armor for teh lulz.

Keep the things that I actually like... (My Gladius/Lion Shield set... Jade Daggers... things like that) Sell the rest... and then convert it to GW2 Gold for people who want to unlock the HoM stuff. Bahaha Jk, I'll just buy more stuff that I like.

I'm planning on buying the birthday miniatures that I don't have in my hall yet, and maybe a few of the special release. I'm done with my weapon sets on all characters, the only thing I may do is buy the tormented/oppressor weapons that I don't have and put them in my hall as well. Otherwise, I'm planning on keeping the rest or helping out the guild.

I am hoping that all of you who decide to play gw2 and ditch your cute high end minis (like the IG and panda) will sell them to me for cheap since I will still be playing gw1....and I have no other high end items so no problems there.

i dont have anything really high end, but if i did, i suppose i would just keep it. or possibly let a friend use it if they were still playing. but, i think out of the people i know, i will most likely be the last one left in this game lol

I am fighting inflation in GW by buying all the armbraces in Kamadan and then deleting them. Its a tough job but somebody has to do it. Hopefully by GW2 I'll run out of ecto. Or there will be no Armbraces left. Whichever comes first.

HILARIOUS, it is impossible to buy every armbrace, but i do applaud your effort. I dont think many will understand what your doing but I think I get it. while most take pleasure in collecting, you take pleasure in destroying... that is awesome. Thanks for posting that.

I'm single-handedly keeping the Armbrace and Ecto prices up. Along with buying braces and deleting them. I buy atleast 2 stacks of Ecto from the Mat trader every day. To keep the price up. But if you guys are just going to mock me I'll just crash the market. Then who'll be laughing at some "joke"?

Look Fawxy Lawxy, people are just kidding around, im sure they did not mean to upset you so severely. Please consider the repercussions that these actions could cause before taking such harsh steps.

Kamadan will be a ghost town. It'll be looking like Ethiopia in there. Children in the streets emaciated. Because of the heightened economic depression and scarcity of food. A communist drug lord will take control of the lands of Tyria. Giving handouts of Drake Kabobs, Skalefin Soup, and Pahnai Salad to gain the trust of the people. Before we know it. We've got a Dictatorship going down. Then George W. Bush will catch wind of the developments. You know how he feels about commies. He'll be dropping bombs on us and storming compounds with his badass Army Rangers and Seal Team 6. All because some kids didn't recognize. Is this the future you want for your children?

Imagine some real skilled hacker spreading keyloggers and whatnot everywhere, stealing accounts only to delete all ectos and armbraces on them instead of RMT....

My shields are mine and they will die with me. No one is taking them or using them, they're MINE.

With the rest of my stuff, my ecto's etc, meh, I don't really care, might make some random dude happy.

I´ll keep my high-end items, try to get more and keep playing. I hope that most of the players that are leaving GW1 forever will sell off/give away their high-end-items in order to not let them get lost. There are some unique and really awesome items out there that should stay "available" in the game.
