Redistributing the wealth (1000e)

hey 
I was aiming to get 45/50 in hom a few months ago but was hacked
I lost all my cash, equipment and yeh pretty much everything.
now I'm struggling even to get 30/50 in the hom which is depressing.
I need about 5 more points for 30 but would love to get 45. Any help is appreciated, I'm currently struggling to get vabbian so if possible something equivalent to 12 ruby, 12 sapphire would be much appreciated
Thanks soooooooo much!!! 

ign. apple of the sky

Thanks a lot!

Hey there, i'm currently trying to get stuff for my HoM. Sadly when i quit playing 3ish years ago i did something much like this so now i have no money and pretty much no equips, which stumps my progress a bit.

Honestly, i'd like to just ask for a ridiculous amount like 100e, but i can't do that because that's not really like me. I think 69e would be fun, because i like the number yada yada. I'll be happy if i get anything at all though.

I'll be using the ectos mostly to buy prestige armour sets and weapons because i have materials coming out my ears. I think if i get any my first purchases will be weapons and shields for speedclears in either UW or FoW so i can generate my own money (seeing how my favourite farm spot got nerfed ).

Thanks for reading!

Edit: So.. I read through the thread, and then i read TheGizzy's post, and now i feel greedy as hell. I'll sleep on it and think of an amount i'd actually deserve.


Edit2: I've given it a lot of thought, and i've decided that rather than trying to leech off your generosity, i'd if possible would much rather have some of your knowhow.

You see, i've never been good at making money, and whatever money i do make i either spend way too quickly or give away to friends. Over my hours of playtime i have made i think the equivalent of like 50e, possibly a bit more if i'm overestimating how much they're worth. Most of that i have spent having fun rather than getting useful things (i.e. buying armour sets for friends), so in the end i'm left with one set of prestige armour and some decent weapons, but not much more.
If at all possible, it would be amazing if you could teach me something about making money. Really anything would help. As i've said before i've been trying to get some farm builds together to experiment on my own, but so far i've been stumped by lack of equipment, and mostly people to play with (since i don't want to leave my old guild for nostalgia reasons mostly).

I'm on occasionally, and if you would take some time to chat with me (not even specifically about making money, but anything really) that would be brilliant. As you've said i am sad that the social aspect of guild wars seems to have died down greatly, and i miss having people to chat to when i'm not doing anything (or doing something that i don't particularly need to pay attention to).

Whether you decide to spend time on me or not, i think you're doing a great thing here. If you'll be joining us for GW2, feel free to add me on there if you'd like to chat!

Any generic person would tell you that they are looking to fill their HoM. I have been farming FoWSC for days, and working on learning all the roles to make myself more popular among SC guilds. I really would enjoy just about anything for my Hall of Monuments, but what I really want is a nice set of obsidian armor for my main character. I need a lot more than 50e, but anything helps. I would really appreciate 10-20e if that would be possible. (To speed up the process of obtaining the armor.)

Thank you so much for reading this, and message me in game if you want to chat or what not. Always down to have a conversation!

~Blah Blahsen

(Ingame is as above without the tilda.)

To extend on what I've said, and elaborate slightly. I learned to play guildwars from a few friends. After starting an elementalist, I soon got nightfall! (mom bought for me). I was so enthralled that I deleted my elementalist to make room for my dervish. (stupid right?) Well my dervish became a Drok's runner after learning the build and what not, and soon he became a VoS in FoW. Never had I really thought about obsidian armor until I had seen it on a derv. (COOLEST EVER IMO). As a little kid, I offered to buy it off a guy. (as you know you can't trade it lmao.) So I guess that was stupid, and I was banned from Drok's runs in Amer dis 1.

Shortly after that, I was learning to farm destroyer cores, and spend days doing it. Now I make my money with the occasional UWSC, and FoWSC, but I can't seem to do them for hours on end. (I get tired of people getting so angry.) So I became a ATFH runner on my sin. (105 health for the win?) I guess what I'm saying is that I'm an experienced player that never really did understand how to get and save money. Now I want a Margonite EL tonic, but it's too late for that. (They're 80e, I have 15. <- FAIL) so I am working to fill my HoM with most armor, and at least a set of destroyer weapons. Guess a head-start would be nice.

As for my friend, he has been writhing in his sleep about obsidian armor and I think it would be awesome if I got it before him. (since he plays 4-5x a week, that most likely wont happen.) I would appreciate anything I guess, but I hope for a friend in guild wars 2. :]

RECEIVED AMAZING CHAT & Generous donation. :]

Hey there,

Love what you're doing, Luke!

I've been enjoying GW for the past few months. I purchased the game about 18 months ago, got into it for a while, but then had an international move, job change and a baby (!)... I'm not one to let the game trump RL stresses and duties, so I put it aside, and probably would not have gotten back to it if it had not been for the hype building around GW2. That got me interested in eventually playing the sequel (not until I can upgrade the compu), so I thought I'd brush off my GW account and dive in again when time permits.

My goals here are to fairly simple: finish each of the main campaigns, shoot for the "protector" title for each (I like the ring of it, and they, along with the "hero of" titles seem fairly achievable), pocket a few HoM points where I can (devotion and fellowship are the likeliest candidates since I play a ranger and lucked out with a rare 1st year birthday gift), and try to meet other players along the way for some laid back fun. Beyond those goals, my /hope/, is that I can outfit my character with a set of oppressor bows (long and short) and spear (I like a spear-based beastmaster build), and a set of Vabbian armor. I know that getting three weapons of the same type (oppressor, destroyer, tormented) is not "optimal" in terms of HoM points, but I love the look of the oppressor weapons and of the Vabbian armor, and the HoM points are secondary for me.

I don't have time to farm and grind for the wealth to get these items, so I have never looking into how much it would cost in terms of gold. I always though it would be completely unachievable, so I haven't spent time figuring out the currency conversion for the required materials. I /do/ know that attaining those items would cost 30 Medals of Honor (not sure if those are even traded), 16 rubies, and 16 sapphires. I hope to earn some of that through gameplay, but I'm not sure how much is realistic (I'm still playing my first run through). Bottom line, I'd be grateful if you could help me along the way, but how much help would be required, I'm not sure. If you have a sense for that, and feel it is worthwhile, then I'd be very grateful for the helping hand!

1) Specify what it is you want the money for

I want the shield

See, dual reduction shields have always had a place in my heart for a few reasons. The first is that there is a finite amount of them in the game. I always wished I could be a nerfed item collector (never quite had the funds or economic savvy) because of my appreciation for the items. Whenever I see an item like a -2/-2 shield, or a q7 max sword, the treasure hunter inside of me wants it. It isn't even the monetary value attached to it that appeals to me, it's the fact that the item represents a piece of Guild Wars history that will never be reintroduced. Your shield is a beauty and should get the respect that it deserves! And, if you pick me to give it to, I'll promise you that it will stay with me until the servers go down (or hackers steal it, but whatever :P) Please consider me ^^

IGN Eronia Exumey

Hello! I've been playing Guild Wars for quite a while (66 months!) and I've managed to rack up 28/30 in the HoM calculator. I'm so close to 30 that I only need a destroyer weapon and a few more hero armors.

I'm not going to pretend that my schedule is hectic because it's not. I probably have at least 3 or 4 free hours every night that I could be spending on Guild Wars. My problem is that I have played Guild Wars so much that I can't stand to do the same thing anymore (farming, vanquishing, Jade Quarry, repeat). Not to mention the DISTRACTIONS! *Looks over to his Game of Thrones book with disgust*

I hope that you would consider giving me anywhere between 17-25e so that I could finish off my There-and-back-again-a-hobbits-tale-by-Bilbo-Baggins-worthy HoM adventure and happily anticipate GW2.

Hope to Hear from you!

Hello there Luke,

First of all, I just wanted to thank you for redistributing the wealth, even if I'm not included. It's a very noble thing to do.

I've been playing Guild Wars for about 7 years. My dad was one of the first people to preorder and told me and my brother "hey, check this game out" and I have been addicted ever since.

As much as I love this game, I'm not very good at it. And when other players notice this, they claim I'm so terrible because I'm a girl. It may be stupid GW bullying, but it still sucks. The only reason I have some of the things I have in my HoM is because of favors from friends who have quit the game. I'd much rather still be playing with them than have my stuff.

Anyway, with Guild Wars 2's release date slowly crawling closer, I've been trying to motivate myself to get 50/50. But I just don't have the resources to get there. I've spent all my money on runs and gambling on strongboxes for the chance at a high-end mini. So I'll ask for 40e, to get me on the right track.

My IGN is Zora Moriko.

Thanks so much, on behalf of everyone.

P.S. I, too, am a writer. And when I went through a very dark time in my life and couldn't write anymore, sadly, GW fanfiction got me through my dry spell. It's a little embarrassing, but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do.

<3

Hey Luke. I think it's pretty cool that you're doing this (for more than just selfish reasoning ).

I've been playing GW1 since beta, and put in about 5000 hours over two accounts. Unfortunately, though I'm half decent at the game, I don't think there's another part of my life in which I am so downright unlucky.

I've tried farming, I've tried doing runs of elite areas, etc., but no matter how hard I try, it seems I just can't find any money. Just about everything I've put into my HoM I've earned myself simply because I can never find the money to buy anything. I think the most I've ever held in my storage is the equivalent of 200k (which was pumped pretty quickly into Vabbian armor...).

And so I ask for 40e. I've been looking forward to GW2 for years now, and I probably won't have time for GW1 once it comes out. In the meantime, however, I'm doing my best to pull together some money to get a handful more points in my HoM.

Thanks for listening

IGN : Bast Deathshot

Hey Luke. Not entirely here for your money, but I do like the social game aspect that you speak of. If you don't mind sometimes-heavily-opinionated-views etc id like to offer my services as someone-to-chat-with.

ign. kKagari Escaflowne

Of course, if you'd like to offer me birthday cupcakes/speed boost candy I'd willing accept it, as tips or something

hi there Luke ,

if possible anything around ~25E to finish Hom armors[vabbi,kurz,..] and maybe a weapon

ign: forgetfull was uhmm

thx in advance

A very nice gesture indeed for which you should be commended.

I would like to buy an Armbrace and save myself from the nightmare lands of DOA!!

I've only been playing GW1 for a couple of months after SWTOR failed to hit the spot and thought I would pass the time till GW2, I tried GW a few years back and didn't like it, which was probably more to do with my PC at the time, but now after sinking some stupid hours into the game I've loved it and will probably carry on playing even after the 2nd comes out, granted not as much!

The problem is with getting my last 5 points for HOM it's all pretty much gold/grind and it's gonna be painful one and a donation of 25-30 ectos to buy an armbrace would save me a fair whack of time which would be spent getting other points and would be appreciated greatly!

IGN: Sir Uldawg

Hello Qwertyfied,

I m Valentin and I play since Faction, but i did several break. I return to gw for the pantheon because I pre-purchase gw2. I am not english, I ask you to be conciliatory with my post

1) The money is going to be for my pantheon to reach the 30 points (I have actually 3 ^^', but I just start over). The last time I stopped, I gived all my monney to my guild so I m poor now xD.

2) I don't know, I'll take what you give to me. Although it's only 1k, I'll be happy.

3 ) I just want to thank's you for this generous act and I hope to play with you on GW2.

My IG name is "il shaoling il"
Thx

Hi Luke!

My name is Max, and I played Guild Wars when I was 14-15 years, and I started to play for my HoM when I saw that all my friends would buy the game. They all ahead of me but I can't reckon on them for my HoM cause they've stopped long ago and gave all their fortune .... Of course, I was not playing during this period..... But now there is the HoM, I don't really know what to do without any help : I managed to collect 50 k by myself but it's far from enough to get to 30 points.

Now I have 17 points but I can not get more ...I work hard to get more but I really need money for weapons, for minipets, and armor, and now I only have 17 k. I haven't Factions so I can't count much on the monument of honor (I can only have 6 titles easily).

Anyway, maybe I don't deserve your bounty on my total game time, (I could't spend too much time in the game due to a lot of factors including ... sharing the computer with my sister and my little brother ^ ^ ...) but I'd have a chance to reach 30 points by buying some armor and weapons for the HoM! = D Maybe I need a lot, but how about 40-50e? It would be so cool and helpful

.....I admire what you are doing...really...Thanks

Linoa Hart IGN

Just posting to say thanks for the ectos! It will help a lot!

Hey thanks for the offer of help. I am currently sitting at 25/50 and my goal is 30 HoM points

If possible I would like to have enough to purchase vabbian armor which is like 320k so thats like 50 ectos I suppose?

I suppose that will be quite a bit of ectos but whatever you could spare i would appreciate it. Anything would help in my quest for 30 HoM points. Thanks for the help. IGN Karano kyoukai. Im usually on grinding for money, but if not feel free to PM me here. I appreciate it. take care.

Hi Luke, i'm a 17 years old student from Spain, and in only 1 year i will start in the university. I have been playing GW since April of 2011, but like 3 months ago, I left the game because some personal problems i had at home. Now that i have some free time during the day, I enter to the game with one objective, get finnaly the obsidian armor. That will be my last objective of the game till gw2 releases, and if i could make it true, i would be so proud of the work i did, and not only i, a lot of friends that are helping with little donations, which are helping me a lot. Now I have like 15e and 20 shards. It doesn't matter the amount of ectos or plat you want to give me, any help is appreciated, so decide by your own, and good luck with your work, i love reading and you will be very successful, i'm sure. Thanks in advance.

I, like most people, am going for 30 HoM points. I originally was aiming for 23, but I think I can do better, even though I'm only at 22. I need 2 more armors for 2 points, probably going asuran and Norn armors. The reason I need the money is because I saved up for over a month to buy an armbrace and now I am at like 2 platinum, aka super broke. I'm asking for 20 ectos to pay for the armors and give me some wriggle room on cash again.

Thanks for reading man.

Hello Luke,

I mainly want the money for re-building my characters. After a long absence from GW for about a year or even longer, i decided to proceed and archieve maybe some more titles with my quite well-eqipped characters. Problem was my account got compromised in my absence. I first had to retrieve my PW fro the support. When I then logged in I was shocked and stunned. My whole characters where completely naked and EMPTY! With my favourite Assasin, I collected 3 prestige armours and even the chaos gloves. In purple they were perfect match with the purple elite kurzick armour. Female character BTW. Anyways I also got a few other chars which are totally empty. The guy must have been just running to the vendor and sell everything he could sell. Xunlai box empty. All bags of all chars empty. Even the least valuable thing was soll except Minipets and all the other stuff you can't sell at the vendor.
The support told me the incident must have happened around june last year where they did not have the backup tools yet, so they were not able to restore ANYTHING!
My plan with the money would be to at least re-build my favourite character, the assassin.

I am not sure what to write about the amount cause I hate this like having to estimate my grade at the end of the year in school before getting told the one the teacher decided on.
But thinking about all the stuff I lost and the countless, thousands of hours I put into GW, I would say 75e. This is the original value of the chaos gloves, which I of course will not be able to buy again. But this will be well enough money to buy again all the stuff I loved and put together with alot of heart-blood to enjoy GW as I did before.

Until now, I just managed to produce a little capital through selling the minipets I got for birthdays in my absence. I was even able to buy a max armour for my assassin^^ But Playing GW does not make any fun If you lack almost every other equipment than a staff from a friend (for my unsuccessfull tries on farming some money now) and a basic armour.

Thanks for the offer and reading this. And of course for your unbelievable graciousness!

Greetings from Germany,

Shaddow Goddess

Just saying a quick thank you to Luke for the ectos, will hopefully get me that Armbrace, cheers!

Good luck and to whichever destination you travel to next I hope you'll be equally rewarded!

Hi luke. I'm currently working on my HoM unlocks, sitting at 18/30 at the moment and I'm about to work on gathering weapons, armor and minis. I only have 30k though, which isn't going to get me very far lol, so I'd really appreciate anything you could spare. IGN: Velannar Endaril

Hi, I returned to this game about a week ago after starting up a new account 9 month ago. I'm currently trying to finish off my HoM and start my way to gwamm. If I could get about 80 ectos to finish off Sweets and Party titles that would be awesome. Blades Of Tyranny

Hey Luke, I finally got myself registered, yay! Captcha 0:1 me. Well, okay Captcha ~100:1 me... -_-"

Some background info.
I bought Prophecies shortly after it was released but didn't liked it. Now, after I read both Guild Wars (2) books I really wanted to participate in some of the events that shaped Tyria and I love it.

Since I read your thread I fought with myself whether or not to ask you for some support to fill my HoM, but after reading all requests I realized that I can pull it of myself. I don't want to take the shortcut (you) and I have enough time to get to 30/50 before GW2 is released and maybe more.

Still, there is something you can help me with. I'm a pretty new player and 1000e is an incredible amount of wealth that I don't even dare to dream of, but I really want to learn how to earn just a fraction of it myself. So, if you have some spare time pm me.

Thanks in advance.

Hii there Luke I am GW player for 6 years now and in that time i managed somehow to get money and items but always a little bit,and often i used that to help my friends And cause that i didnt buy any fancy weapons,armors minis and etc .Now i dont have time to farm to get items(i didnt have much time ever ) and i would like to have 2 more armors,2 more minis,everlasting char tonic(i love cats *-*) or i'll use money you give me to help my friends,cause i love helping other people and to not ask anything in return So i would need like,35-40 ectoes or 1 at least I dont mind which amount,ill be grateful anyway IGN Djole Necromancer

Hi Luke,

It's nice to see fellow generous players out there. As you can read, you're not the only one. I basically give away everything I get, Ectos, high end drops. Which means in the end I never managed to keep some ectos or high end drops for myself. I've been shifting online and offline for the past few weeks, because real life. I rarely get on because real life is important to me as well as it is to you . Since I've read the whole post, I'll be honest. I can't wait to see your novel published, if I see it here somewhere, I'll buy a copy, or send one to me, that'd be great. (I really enjoy reading books, and I've written a lot of stories myself, just way to shy to put them online.)

The reason why I'm posting in this thread is not because of your large amount of wealth, and am that needy to need it. Since I'm trying to spare every little bit into my paragon her obby armor. And I'm sure it'll take a while -but who says I'm getting the whole set? I just am after the skirt and the boots! Longer skirts are so much more elegant- I'll be honest , Very honest that is, I've had my whole account full of obsidian armor, back in the day (Was also the time I decided not to be in a guild). Then I left for a few years and realized my account got hacked. I still use the same account, decided to delete all my characters because there was nothing of value left on them and left for a short while until I found the mood to play again.

Unlike most people I decide not to go for 50/50 anymore, I'm happy with the 31/50 I got. it already took me a while to get all those done in the past few years, and believe me. I've been busy, could've been busier, but it's hard to mix real life with guild wars. Especially if you stand in my shoes.

So Basically I've been trying to pop online daily, But that does not work well all the time. I've got long days of college and work coming up. And I've got a mother and brother to look after these days. So basically I can't mix both right now. The only time I can get online is during the night. Which screws up my sleeping rythm -I'm sure you've been there- And it'll be hard to get back to my normal sleeping pattern if it won't change. I'm trying to rush way too many things right now as in trying to get GWAMM for my ranger as soon and as fast as possible, it's stressing when you see another guild mate, who started at the same time, being faster than you and yell at you for no reason in PM when you go away for a couple of days.

But let's get back to business, now that I've read your post, and you're currently reading mine.
I'm only in need of 10 ectos, no more, no less. Those will be the last 10 I need to get both the skirt and the boots. -Yes I've been trying to save up, only by resulting doom of a couple of friends of mine! (''omg a VS can you buy it? it's so pretty!'' 'well yes, sure, I'll buy it. See it as a present.' <- that is what has been happening the past few weeks now, and I've been basically trying to keep my ectos away in a safe place ever since then, not that I'm greedy, but I can't keep buying things for other's if I can't buy the things I want for myself, right?)-

So I think that's about it, hit me up sometime though, I would love to hear about your Story.

Hello there Luke, I'm Charlie. I am not much of a literary person although I have started recently on The Name of the Wind by P. Rothfuss. I have finished reading The Night Angel Trilogy which are great books! You'd be Durzo with all that experience and I'd be Azoth before I become Kylar. If you have read TNAT, then we may have much to talk about!

The money will be for the last stretch to the goal of reaching 30/50 HoM or even further depending on the friendly helping hand that puts money into wallet instead of stealing from it. The HoM is at 20/50 at the moment.

The amount...well, I do not know the fine line between being greedy unless it is asking for 60e plus. I will ask for 45 ectoplasms, but it is entirely your call.

The social part of the game sort of died when my friends quit playing the game, because we have only started not so long ago, about 9 months in. I can join a guild or make new friends, however I feel unexperienced to group up with others to grind out for money. Therefore, I solo'd my way to 20/50 HoM and as well as to 30.

Much appreciated, Charlie
