If you ask me, I think he bought the gold online seeing as how he has zero fame and experience.

if i bought it online and wanted to hide my rank, fame, and experience, don't you think i could have done that? i know i don't have much experience in pvp. i'm not trying to claim that i'm an expert pvper.

lmao not jealousy at all just stating fact

his character is not good lmao just has a lot of gold. who cares
You know, I wasn't even talking to you, I was reffering to the slew of obviously jealous negative comments earlier. The fact you're being so immediately defensive makes me wonder though, is there something you care to share with the rest of the class?

All that wasnt needed, some players just dont like pvp side of the game, let them be, calling someone 12 yr olds ...and some ppl will always be ****y on games and act like 10yr olds competing over who has more toys..

I was giggling myself when I saw his fame and rank but i was like wow way to go man, 1000plat, but who knows he might even have 3 other characters with better EXP

All I have is 58 plat, and that is supporting 3 characters

But congrats on maxing out storage. Care to send the excess gold my way?

for that run i'd have to respec my warrior or run with 2 people. i've only made that one once without fighting, and it wasn't fun at all. too many arcanists with slowdown and DoT.

so in other words, it'd be expensive and unreliable if u wanted me to do it.

Well, that's me. I'm not a millionaire, but I must say I'm quite happy with my character. Never farmed in my life, and I've only had this game for 6 days. I met quite a few very nice people and used my trading skills from Diablo II along the way .

yeah he's a forge runner, which is what i want to be when i ascend

forge runners make about 4k to 10k per person per run, unless they're nice and do it for free or they get ripped off :P but obviously you can make alot of money if you're charging 10k per person for 5 ppl on a 20-30 minute run (thats 100k per hour)

From the attribe point spread I guess you still cant fight your way through Droknars, but run instead.

Oh well, if you think running through PvE is impressive, gloat away.

you idiot the point is that he runs people through so lower level characters can get there. and if you think that YOU have the skill to run through from beacon's perch to droknar's forge, just try it.

I've seen posts about you in helping newer characters get to Draknor's Forge the short way. I guess that is fairly lucrative from the looks of it . I'm all for you being able to provide such a valuable service to people and also for you getting compensated for it. Congrats, I may look you up in the future if money is still worth anything to you then.

Anyone with the slightest interest in the game would be fighting the uber wurms , ice imps etc.

All this thread shows is that the poster likes to boast and show off about his pile of cash (the thread title...) to people online, lol, yet amittadly sprints his way through high level areas avoiding the gameplay of the game, to get more cash..

Its plain to see he enjoys boasting about his cash, and trying to show off to others, more than he likes to actually PLAY Guild Wars, and its clear to see by his boasting/show off type post that if he had the ability to take on the monsters he would do so, to show all his little noob followers how uber he is. But he doesnt do that, so I assume he cant, otherwise there would be screenies and posts about it.

So congradulations on not actually achieving anything, but coming online to GW forums to boast that your uber rich because you rush through areas for cash just turns my stomach tbh.

Also have a look at his attribute refunds, its obvious he hasnt changed his build in a while, i think we can safely assume he doesnt do anything else with this character than run through Droknars for cash.
Must be satisfying to be one of the highest earners in GW, when the game is about combat...

Anyway I dont know why im arguing, i think ill leave the 'omg running droknars is teh sh1t' group alone and go back to actually playing.

Wow, I never thought such a simple thread could generate so much negativity. So hes rich, maybe the way that he got is was questionable, but instead of just shooting him down, either just stay away or actually add something to the discussion. I myself only have 30k, but I've only played through the game and not really done any strict farming or other quick money tasks.

Grats for doing something usefull and getting rich while doing it

Cash can buy you unlocks if you ever start to pvp ... and who knows, maybe they add something fun and expensive, and every basher in this thread will die to get YOUR gold

I have 1 character that has finished the game, the rest are level 13's and I have about 30plat between them. I always felt I play too much. It is hard for me to conceive how any adult with a family and responsibilities can have the kind of money the OP is talking about, let alone some of the other posters have,without serious priority issues. If they can, great for them...just ... Wow.

OF course he could be school or college age and who knows what I could do with 3 months of empty free time

I'm sorry if that's the way that you feel, but Guild Wars is a game that promotes diversity. Anyone who says that the game should ONLY be played one way or another is stubbornly close-minded. The point of the game is that you can do whatever you want with your character, whether its PvE, PvP, GvG, trading, or Droknar's Forge Running. The developers of Guild Wars would not have put any of those options in if they were "meant" not to be used. So if YOU think that all of us should be playing PvE, go back to WoW or Everquest.

Just to gloat with you, my ranger hit 600k yesterday and I haven't farmed or run anyone anywhere at all. Good ol' fashion salesmanship . Congrats on your 1kk though.

I personally congratulate him on his achievement!

To the naysayers, the only reason you are probably whinning about how he got his money and how he rushes a certain area of the game is because you have a character that cant and/or your poor and jealous. I've beat the game 3 times and now i rush people on certain missions, i've done them before the "right" way and most of the time so have they, they're just trying to get thru a tough mission, for example Elona Reach.

Me? I'm a millionaire too. Three characters with 15k armor, all dyed darkblue, sup vigor on all, sup fire, air, absorb, prot, smite, etc. Not to mention the weapons i have. How'd i get it? I'm in the farming/collectors item business. I farm for minotaur horns, jawbones, carapaces, etc, then i sell them and the items i get from farming them.

Whoever is making comments about the exp and fame needs to wake up and realize that it not eveyone likes PvP, especially me. Instead i spend my time in the UW/FoW and desert doing PvE. And about his armor.. It works doesnt it? Why waste money on 100k worth of armor and another 200k on weapons when you can get the items you NEED for cheap. Collector Crimson Carapace Shield = arguably the best shield in the game (correct me if i'm wrong but thats what you have right?). The gladiators armor may not look cool but its essential for hardcore runners since you need a lot of manna to chain cast spring & charge, and several other buff skills.

Yikes, u guys just need to back off and let people play the game the way they want to play it. =/

Ok, so his character isn't good because he has no rank or fame? Last I checked GOLD is what you need to buy good equipments for your characters.

Sorry, I had to get that out, not that this guy can't congratulate a man for accomplishing his goal...he had to insult him what a ****.

Wheel, congrats on your 1000 plat dude.
