How much wealth does the average player have?

Hey all.
Just a random question I had on my mind. How much wealth do you think the average player has?

*edit*
Forms of wealth: armors, ectos, zkeys, weapons, cons, pcons, money titles, minis. Will add more if requested.
Average playing time 3 years let's say.
So, by then, what do you think a player averages at in wealth?

I agree. You'd first have to define the qualities of the "average player" -- how long they've been playing, how often they play, and their general activities -- before we could even begin to estimate their wealth. And then you'd have to specify whether we're counting their total worth or liquid assets.

For instance, I consider my activities to be pretty average, but I've been playing for a while (and clocking some pretty heavy play during a portion of my time) and don't buy a lot of stuff, so I probably have a fair bit more than someone who's only been playing for a year, and maybe only on the weekends.

100,000 gold

*edit* added some assets that would be considered wealth! Thanks for the feedback by the way guys, I really wanna hear what people think!

5mil at a min

AVERAGE player? You are high. I've played A LOT and don't have that.

I'd bet its more in the less than 100k range.

Anet said 10k a couple of years ago. Not sure how much that's changed.

sweet and party titles are 2mil alone...

I'd say 20-50k

I would also guess the 100k range (and im not talking about all wealth here, just currency). Personally, I'v been playing for about 5 years now and my money has fluctuated between 100k and 300k for the last 3-4 years. I don't think I'v ever had over 400k in cash, and while I do have obsidion armor, I got it from farming just enough ectos necessary (which were then promptly used to get the armor). I guess what I'm saying is that Iv never actually had >400k that wasn't immediately spent on something.

My guess is that 100-300k is probably about what the average person who doesn't farm regularly has.

If I can remember correctly, the average was about 20K or so a few years ago.

Now it's probably a bit more, since there's less things to buy left and more ways to earn it.

I believe it probably is close to 100k or less for casual players(play time less than 20 hours a week) after that it would go up considerably...and thank for this idea it made me want to calculate mine out tbh

thanks for the response I've always pondered this question, I will have to calculate mine in total too. Should report back with the results!

so wait if this doesnt include titles,armor,and minis (i thought the op did) then yes ofc i was way off

I've been playing 3 Months and would consider myself a casual player, not a GAMER per se, and I have just under 20K available after putting max armor on 2 tunes and runes for 4(x2) Mercs. I would say by the end of a year I should have 100K easy If I dont sink it all in Prestige Armor, Weapons or Dye. I would think 100-200K a likely Average.

Not sure I would include Prestige Armor as 'Wealth' Myself as Armor has no resale value.

100k doesn't seem like much.....unless I'm reading 100k differently than I should be.

Personally, I'm around 850k in storage + 50k on alts + ectos. I wouldn't consider myself a hardcore player either. 2 years, couple hours a day, maybe little more on weekends.

Unless I'm misreading OP we are looking at total worth not just money in the chest?

If you add up the costs/values of all the items they have including armor, weapons, runes, minis, hero gear, etc. I would guess the average player playing for an average period of time for a 6+ year old game would be 500k +

1 set of runed elite armor is going to be 125k ish alone.

JK

I guess thinking about it like that...ya it would be much higher then 100k usually(im just starting to calculate mine and it adds up much quicker then i expected). Of course i've been playing for alot longer then 3 years but i guess maybe 10k-50k in storage, with a couple 100k in runes, armor, etc. That is for people who have played for some time though.

Yep, you have to define what an "average" player is and what they do with the stuff they get: After all, in the game you can find:

Fashon mayvens out there collecting every armor they can get their hands on

Socialites who spend most of their on-line time chatting it up in Kamadan, Shing Jea or LA

Title hunters who buy up all the booze/sweets/party items they ca get their hands on

Guilds who farm up stuff just to host parties and what-not and give all their stuff away as prizes.

Or maybe there's a poor schlub (me - LOL) or two out there blowing every bit of gold they get on Z-Keys to waste on that chest.

before I decided to start spending for all my alts I had 16 stacks of e that I was hoarding now most of my alts are at least 30/50 and I have about 3 stacks left. (All but one alt has zrank 3 and all have obsidian armor on at least one character)
