Going back the often used saying of "You can't take it with you when you're gone" I am asking to those of you who have accumulated massive and maybe not so massive amounts of wealth what will you do with your money when Guild Wars 2 comes out? Especially those of you, like me, who will probably not return to GW1 once GW2 is released. Will you distribute it to the masses in inventory clearing events that will have people talking about that guy who just gave out 600 ectos in TOA last night or will you hold onto it just in case GW2 turns out not to be what you thought it would.
In addition what do you think will happen to the GW1 economy once GW2 comes out? Especially if more people choose to never release their wealth back into the game?
If this topic has already been discussed before I apologize for the duplication.
Also this is not a thread for asking to be on the receiving end of any give aways since there is clearly a section of these forums dedicated to that very purpose.
Full Disclosure - I have returned to GW after a long break and had to start a new account due to my old account being hacked by gold farmers (according to correspondence with Anet support) so by the time GW2 comes out I estimate that I will have very little to my name to disperse to those who won't be joining us in GW2.
What will you do with your wealth?

I'm going to take all of the money I have and sit on it. If I decide in the future for some reason that I want to chase another title, I'll use the funds I'm storing to help me get there sooner. If some kind of link between GW and GW2 is made that allows me to turn my GW wealth into GW2 wealth, I might use it for that (but I dearly hope this won't be happening and don't expect it). When I finally find no reason to keep GW on my computer any more, I'll probably give away everything that doesn't hold a remote sentimental value and then uninstall.
....I will keep it all until ANet decides to take GW servers down. Can't imagine I'll NEVER log into GW again after GW2 comes out, sure not for a long while but.. never? nah. I also hate to give out everything at once, I've done that before.. it's kind of lame.
I'd rather spot out the people that could actually use the stuff and give them a little bit that way I can help people out for years to come lol. Also for newbies it's funner to give them platinum instead of ecto's because the sheer amount of plat compared to ecto makes them think they are rich ;p

Leave it in a will to my future self in 250 years I know just what he/she looks like and his/her name.
I will leave a complete set of all common materials and as many sets of rare materials as I can get in the time.
Everything else converted to cash and hope for a decent rate of interest.
I will arrange for my zoo will be managed after my death to ensure future stocks and any fur hide feather from deceased members of the herd collected and added to my storage.

even though I've been playing since prophecies I never farmed once. Whenever I did something in pve it was just to explore/have fun, never to get items or money and it has served me well, although most of the money I got was from sigils and z-keys today.
farming and grinding are boring and lame.

My "wealth" has diminished quite a lot since I started buying weapons for me and a friend. Not as rich as most here, had around 1000 ecto, but I am around 50 now. Also gave away around a million in gold/ecto and a lot of other stuff since I have all I want.
I dont give away my stuff random but try to find the people who really need them.

As I'll probably still be working on the HoM when GW2 hits (and currently have no wealth as a new player) I won't be giving anything away. And I can see myself still playing GW1 after GW2 releases.
Plus, I'm willing to bet some people who buy GW2 will then learn about the HoM and try GW1 as well, I don't think GW2 spells the demise of GW1.
