What will you do with your wealth?

Hom Hom Hom HOm HOM Hom HOm... Till my eyes bleed. Oh, that, and armor. I've been buying lots of elite armor sets lately, because my storage is already full

I'm not amassing any wealth. I spend it all in skills and armors for my characters, and increasing titles while playing.
My HoM is already filled, so I don't any need to save.

but it has spurred me on to getting back into gw As for the question I doubt I will have very much but I expect I will spend it on kitting out my chars (I tend to focus on my main, Desecrated Flame, atm) in case gw2 flops (which I hope isn't the case!).

Thinking about this thread and topic I'm starting to wonder if ANet will shut down GW at any time while GW2 is live. I suppose it is likely, however, considering the fact that players can tie achievements from the first to the second... does it not make sense to keep this option available?
As far as my own portfolio... I have two titles to fill for a goal. I've been refusing to pay for them. After nearly six years on my account I would still claim that I haven't actually bought any titles and I'm looking at one of these last two as almost a necessity to do just that. Drunkard is what I speak of. This coming Halloween event will be the tipping point. If I don't get it by the end of this I will be pulling out ye ol' gold purse.
Whatever wealth remains when I reach my goal before and for GW2 will probably just sit there. Too bad there isn't a system for investing for interest.

First of I don't really have much wealth lol
Only 3 ecto and a little over 100k that's about it.
Ok I have alot of minies and weapons, but the minies are ded and I doubt I'll let go of the weapons, and I'm sure compared to others I still have little of that.
I might help a few friends and guildies with what little I do have sometime. Unless I find something to use those bits of wealth on :P

Anything useful I will keep, anything else will be used for paying for outstanding titles I'm grinding for.

After I have maxed pet category with presents my character gets, I have 29/30 of slots unlocked.
I have around 35K of gold and goal is to get Luxon Elite Armor.

I never understood why people 'keep wealth'. I perceive money as a means to achieve a goal, not a goal itself.
That said, after getting GWAMM i quickly got 50/50 (needed only 4 points when HoM calculator came out), then sponsored 80% of my fiancee's GWAMM & 50/50, and now we're working on our friend's GWAMM/HoM. After this is done, i'll probably use up all money on lockpicks - if i'm still around in Tyria until GW2 is released, that is.

What wealth? Ah I forgot this is a trading game for some....

Not going to do anything with my wealth and leave it in the storage. A few years from now I'll probably load GW one day and get a FoW armor for one of the characters that still doesn't have one. Can't do that if I don't have the needed materials can I?
WinterSnowblind
I recently bought some Kurzick armour, finally getting a 15k set for my 6 year old Ranger. That finished off my resilience monument.. Will probably spend the rest on finishing off the skill hunter titles.

Well if you arent planning on playing gw1 anymore you might not care about the account getting banned for that. But if you have linked a gw2 account to it ithen I could imagine that getting banned too.
Mr_Finesse
I'm going to use it as a catalyst to get my friends who have long since left GW to reward them in GW2. Buy them armor, weapons, etc. so that they can get points in their HoM.

already gave everything away -- won't be playing gw2 either, though

Assuming I ever actually run out of things I want to spend it on (including HoM points for friends), I’d use the cash to sponsor a Guild Wars Guru competition. I’ve seen it done a couple of times before on the forums, and thought it was great to see the GW oligarchs using their mega-wealth generate community events. Philanthropy aside, the contests also generated some fantastic entries.
Alternatively, I’d get some character artwork commissioned. Sure it’s vain, but what’s the point of having epic in-game skins if you don’t have the forum cosmetics to back it up?

I'll do the same as i always do. Give away everything to random people in game.

I used to be wealthy in the game back in 07-08 and stopped playing around that time. Now i'm back working on my HoM and have about 4k hehe. Very odd coming back, the game is very difficult now.

I will probably keep buying cool weapons, and take them to my GW grave.. If I could only find a +10vGiants -2ench shield Then I would be a happy person and I could leave this game contempt, with a complete collection of +10/-2ench shields... *sigh*
Currently helping a bunch of less fortunate friends with their HoM though...

Nothing really, although I don't have much anyway lol, but I got to 35/50 for the Ghostly Hero title that I wanted .

Since it's been brought up, it is content, content is satisfaction, contempt is holding something in disdain, scorn, etc. :P I understand the non-english speaking, though, I have enough friends around the world..
Anyways, I still really don't have any wealth, so Iunno how I'll finish out my HoM. But I'll try anyways. <_<

It's fun. There really are some great artists around.And I'm sinking some money into hosting our annual Halloween art workshop. We hold stuff like that a few times a year ^^

Already replied on this thread, but will add this.
1. Never burn your bridges!
2. Not coming back, eh?
a. Blast! GW 2 server crashed again! Guess I'll play GW 1!
b. Gosh. Look at that login queue. No time for it tonight. GW 1!
c. What's this? A special time travel quest? Go back to GW 1 and do what?
d. GW 2 servers to be down for 3 days, install new servers and special game maintenance. Yes, it can happen with a new game.
3. Unlike most, I do not see GW 1 immediately closing down. The developers already created HoM. They can create other hooks that make ownership of GW 1 desirable. It is better to sell two games than just to sell one game. ANet likes money. Case closed.
4. Worst Case: Arrrrgh! My computer will not run GW 2. Back to GW 1. Or, "Gosh, I just cannot adapt to the new combat style of GW 2." Unlikely as it may seem, this last could turn out to be a significant number of players. Not those on this board so much, but there are a lot of people who play GW that do not pay much attention to videos and forum info.
5. Arrrgh! I really miss my heroes and even the hench. Lonely out here being a farmer full time 24/7.
6. Seems to be Monday. Must find Nick the Traveler. Must farm whatever he wants and collect more useless goodies! No use to argue. It is a compulsion!

Wealth? Any "wealth" left will go the way of my characters. They can fight over everything in storage as they fade into electronic oblivion.

I know for myself that I'm gonna try GW2 for sure, but if I don't like it, I might just come back and log on every once in a while or something like that. I know of enough people with the same feeling as well.. Wouldn't surprise me at all..
Chrisworld
Two days ago I fired up Diablo II and logged onto my several accounts to renew their 90-day expiration timers on every character. The oldest account is from 2003, which is a remake of my 2001-02 one that expired and I was epic pissed off at that when I found out so I never let it happen again.
Every one of my characters (plus mules) are still packed out square-by-square with uniques, sets and epic insane shit from super rare, rare to uncommon to common and so on.
This will be my Guild Wars 1 account several years from now. an dI still antipicate my D2 guys still breathing.

I think I'll start paying people to farm ice from sorrows furnace and fill my storage with stacks. then I'll turn a bunch of warm ones into cold ones.

I'll dump it all into titles/weapons.

Already spending it.
Gonna finish Elonian Skill Hunter, buy Elite Tomes for the rest of Prophecies elites (I have like 12 left that require me to go to Southern Shiverpeaks and Ring of Fire...), and try to get some Vabbian armor.
Or just enjoy the game since I'm already 30/50.

I got it into my head to stockpile various materials needed to craft armor. It mostly a precaution as I'd like to avoid the potential situation of wanting to play GW1 as a from of break from GW2 and everything else. Furthermore, I'd like to have enough materials for two obsi armors in case gf and I decide to play GW1 at some point in the distant future of GW2. Clearing FoW and getting armors could be a fun experience a few years from now.
Fate Crusher
I've given my cash to friends who need it for HoM etc, but I'll never get rid of my items. I don't need the cash but if my friends need armours/weapons/mini to reach their HoM goals, I find that more important than hoarding useless cash.
I've been doing Snowball Tournaments (and actually won) and HA since I can remember, the last time I farmed was Ettin Farming, money has not been an issue for me for a looong time
