I Have 270k...But Nothing To Buy...

You should post an /age screen shot for each account. I'd be very interested in seeing them.

It's most likely all from the trader reset they had way back in the day. (You know, that one that wasn't rolled back.)

dude quit saying ignorant stuff like that.

"i have 20 million"
"omg ebay noob / trader reset / haxx0r / scamm0r" "if i cant get 8 million farming elona noone can"

believe it or not people can actually make millions legitamately kinda sucks to have people saying rude stuff like that when you could have made it fairly

anyways age dont mean nothing people have accounts purely for storage. i know people with 4 storage accounts + as they dont like ectos as investment


anyways, use the 250k power trade to get a couple of million then get multiple fow armor sets to show off how rich you are.

you have 270k... but nothing to buy...

then you should just ignore the number that represents your gold and play the game!

or bug ANet to introduce more tricked out skins for staves/wands/focii.

hmm, smite's popular, but it seems like you don't PvP

--

go for a fun title, drunkard.

If I had 8mil gold I would play little tricks with the economy. Decide that for 24 hours I was going to buy all the monsterous claws that the trader had until he was sold out and then just keep him sold out. Then see if I could sell for a profit. Any profit I actually made I'd probably donate to random newbies in Ascolon or Monestery.

Depends how you define fairly.

That shows how ignorant you actually are about high rollers in the game. A large percentage of the people in GW with multi-millions in gold got it through ebay or the trader reset. Usually it's the people who got it through the trader reset. Is there a chance people got it legitly? Of course. I could be sitting on god only knows how much ecto by selling off my 15>50 crystalline, but the fact is most people still used the trader reset to get their wealth.

so? some ppl got rich by anet screw up...good on them, dont let your jealousy shine thru tho..i was still a poor noob at that point otherwise i would have been there with the rest snapping up the ecto

life isnt fair and neither is business

i made my 20mill by hard work and good fortune..use to snap up unid's before the testing and made a small fortune that fortune then turned into mass fortune by trading

herb is a high roller btw

LMAO, telling Herb that he doesnt know how people get rich. HAHAHAHA.

OK, I'm serious about buying me alot of Monstrous Claws. Armor is fricking expensive and there is no point trying to go further in the game without new armor. Plus the bs 175gold awards and having to buy all your skills is seriously draining me.

Drunkard basically says: "I'm a rich bastard."

Not sure if I like that.

Buy a perfect gold caster item, such as a staff with 10% recharge 10% cast on whatever attribute
Mix a unique dye for your armour
And best of all, make a new character and spend it all on him/her, surely you will get bored wiht a necro and would want to go play a ranger or a warrior as a change from the caster class

Believe it or not trying to get treasure hunter title may bring more gold than you spend on it...i got perfect fellblade from shiverpeak chest 15^50%,20/20 sundering ,+30 HP and i sold it for 100 K+ ectos.

Troll forums looking for something to do with it?

If I've offended, then consider that the worst way to start a discussion is with an insult or a harsh opinion of others, and all I have done is return in kind.

It is not that hard to get millions. All you need is patience for selling items and time for farming. Unfortunately farming is too boring but some can do it several hours per day. When Guild Wars was released, farming was very easy. Those who realized it in those days, are now very rich. They can create gold by selling/buying several hundred ectoplasms. No farming needed anymore.

Convert all the gold into random items that are worth something. Start a Black Dye Collection. Or if you don't like black dyes, start buying up Sup Vigors. Or Make a Gemstone collection.

Buy more 15k armor... I'm working on my 3rd and 4th sets for my characters. Still got money after that? Experimient with lots of dye combinations, buy superior vigors for all your characters, then after that, buy all the mini-pets in the game.

Max your favorite character.

Buy all skills, best armor you can, absolutely perfect gold weapons (customize).

Then use the rest to play around with Treasure hunter, gemstones, trading... all works.

I farm plenty but never get rich, I'm no good at trading, sigh. Several mill has gone through my account though, I guess. 1.5+m on FoW (when ectos were 14~k, hyah!), 690k on skills... meep.

Did you get Superior Vigors to all your character's Armor yet? If you did that... well do what I did Buy Guild Wars again and start some new Characters. I got 5 accounts already...

BTW you dont need to buy the accounts if you know friends that dont play anymore and are willing to part with their accounts for free. worked for me.

roflcopter. i was laughing so hard at your post i could hardly breave. this is classic.

i know and absolute shit load of millionaires and tons of people with 10 million plus, some as high as 50 million +. out of everyone i know. i dont think i know any who used the trader reset, most didnt even use ebay. im sure alot of random people did but i sure as hell cant name any now. it was a long time ago before i and many other millionaires i know even started playing and im sure many of them spent it all or quit. some i know ebayed heavily but i cant think of any trader reset people.

making a million isnt hard it can be done in a day/days of good power trading. heck i even know people with thousands of ecto who did not use ebay, trader reset or scamming...

quit winging about millionaires and how its nearly impossible to make a mil as it just makes you appear jealous. its not hard, its easy, very easy. no ebay, trader reset or scamming required.

i really suggest you stop posting as you are just embarrassing yourself calling people newbs when in fact they are pwnage and claiming you have a 15>50 crystalline sword. Care to show me ingame ill pay you 50k

o and btw i am a high roller so i can speak from experience and of my knowledge of all the other high rollers i know. your statement just shows how you dont even have a clue who the high rollers are. posting with no idea what you are talking about ftl





anways, back on topic. if you want fow armor but dont have enough keep what you have an farm / power trade to get the mil you need for it.

you say about wanting to own rare casters stuff. try looking for dragon headed staffs, ghostly staffs, medusa head offhands, pimp cup divine symbols. 10/10 staffs are only like 50k each now so you could buy one for each of your chars or get a few different req ones for one of your chars. 5>50 10% wands and 10/10 offhands are all nice items for casters. if you like a certain skin you could start collecting it i.e. raven staffs.

going for titles maybe, chest running etc

buying all the skills for each primary class you have

Easy for you to say... ebayer.

Anyways what does ebay have to do with helping Zinger314 decide what to do with his/her 270k? Nothing... I'm not saying it's a bad subject. It's just not the subject here. So plz start a new thread if you want to talk about it.

Well, feh! I know a mod on these forums and he has about 80 million!

I don't ... I'm still scavenging money together for my 15k armor for my new monk. Beh, you guys have it easy. I don't have a super 55hp monk or a W/Mo.

I suggest, start buying random junk off random people. That way they'll be happy and you'll be happy that you made someone happy. Right?

the best suggestion i can give is sit on it

maybe chapter 3 will have what you want or maybe something added later.

if you spend it now there WILL be something later you will want and not have the gold for it.

PM me and you can see it any time. It's sitting on a character I rarely use anymore.

Just because you and a few people over a LBS (who've got a horrid rep of "stealing" 15 ecto from people) may be rich from regular gameplay, but you've already admitted to knowing those ebayers. You hang out with a worst crowd than most because I only know the trader reseters.

yeah stealing ectos.... people voluntarily handed over 15 ectos and never once complained is now called stealing. A horrid reputation lolz, i think we have one of the best reputations for trustworthyness in the game, i and many others have been involved in gold and item transfers which run into the hundreds of k and also get paid in advance. Not one incident of scamming.

knowing people does not mean i hang out with them. dunow how you reached that conclusion. i know many ebayers and guess what i also hate some of them. knowing people does not mean they are my friends or i hang out with them. and last time i checked abusing an exploit was a bannable offence along with ebaying...

why bring lbsra into it, its not like we are the only millionaires from regular gameplay. pvpers have made millions, power traders, farmers, people getting lucky drops.

ill look for you ingame. ill pay after i see it as i have an excellent reputation for trustworthyness.





like loviator said maybe wait till chapter 3 if nothing you like atm

or chapter 4 even.

you dont make money by throwing it away just because i want something now

Some rich people who have nothing left to buy for themselves become Philanthropic. You could start giving it away. (no, not to me or anyone that asks you for it). Instead, you could do "random acts of kindness". Maybe you are in a good PUG, if you see some exceptional players maybe give them some gold and say "good job!" and then go on you merry way. Maybe you see someone in a town and you just know they are a new person, buy them a decent weapon or crafting materials and say "good luck and have fun!" Do something nice for someone who is not expecting it.

/ random acts of sensless kindness

giving stuff away ftw. feels really good to give someone the gold for their first set of 1.5k/15k or something. buying usuable items and giving them to poor people you know etc is also nice.

I give away stuff but I like to have fun at the same time.

You see whenever I get a FDS that isn't that valueable/ I'm to lazy to sell, I go to Ascalon and say giving away free FDS to the first person to find me and I hide near the great northern wall. About 50 wammos pm me later saying "Where are you?" "Can I have it?" "I searched everywhere where are you?" "I'll take it PLZZZZ"

Its fun and someone gets the sword of their dreams.....till they relieze that FDS aren't that good.

Hey! since you all rich people feeling philantrophic, buy my rit her FOW armor I'm strapped for cash man, you guys w/ all your ectos and shards just sitting in storage

some things liek your monk need more than just a 15k set and a set of perf weapons. if youre doing pvp wit hyour monk, then you need ALOT more than just that. my monk has well over 1 million in her (not counting the FoW armor) in different armors/scalp designs/weapon sets/-energy sets/shields/etc... that i would ever need for pvp in case the situation comes up. and thats just my monk. my ele, ranger, assassin, and mesmer ALL have a similar setup based on their class and what ever i could run into pvp wise.

so there are many things you can still do for your character with that 270k

Having some inventory / storage space is nice, though. :\

1. seems like gloating?? mabey, mabey not

2.at the start of factions i had 360K and now i got 350k, i spent 340k on armours etc blablabla weapons and so on with 2 accounts, and well wat else to do part from help guildies, mates, and ofcourse repeat the elite missions with the monk

3. help other guildies get the things you have and take for granted, remember there are other players without the same luck as you, or who dont play as much, why not make there day and give THEM some dosh to buy that 15k armour

4. create a guild? mabey 2 (a trusted friend to lead the second), 1 guild that helps new players and when they reach a certain lvl, or understanding of the game, move them to the proffesional guild that does stuff like GvG, AB, farming, Exploring etc (seen some guy recruiting with a guild that did the whole training up thing, and is an idea of mine that i might do, when given the time)

hope that helps you

Make a tank or start a nice weapon collection? I mean you can't never have enough of those rare-skin drops. With 270k, you can buy a mini bone dragon? From what you're saying, all your character is loaded and ready to go. So you should just either collecting mini pets or weapon collection.

I recommend buying iron from the material trader and driving the sale price up, then destroy the stacks. Spend all 270k doing that.

Or...

Throw a party! Have people spell out your name and take a screenie of the thing then post it here on Guru or wherever.

Organize some competition/event and use the money for prizes!

You could also spend it on errand boys to fetch you useless junk like Althea's ashes and Evennia's secret letter or whatever.

Or you could hire all of us as your GW timeshare advisors, we'll calculate how you'll spend your money, and take a percentage. Then we'll set you up to vacation at all the luxurious locations in GW for Cantha and Tyria. See the sights, sleep in the best cities, fight the best monsters, use the best weapons and armors, and we'll spend your money for you.

Wait for Chapter 3. Duh..

well you can always achieve your drinking title, wisdom, treasure hunter, buy all skills for all professions, cap al elites (i bet you dont have enough skill points to do it tho 700+ skills), and if thats not enough do it with a couple of chars, i bet you can get to 0 money in no time.


ahhh and BTW 270k is not a huge amount of money, that can be achieved with ease in a week or two.
