Our statistics show that 50% of all active accounts have fewer than 10 platinum pieces, and 75% of all active accounts have fewer than 20 platinum pieces.

Not sure if everyone read the entire article, and that was interesting. Selling that ‘OMG!Z SUPA! GOLDUBER1 Hammer!!11!’ for 20k looks a little harder now.

I guess I need a point for this topic, so how much money do you REALLY have? (no need for exact gold pieces)

My Warrior: 10k
My Monk: 3k
My 2nd Monk: 7.5k
My Range: 1.5k
Storage: 2k

Have fun

Irrwhatavant? Fork me over the cash!

I have around 313k. But also commodities like gems. So around 375k total, depending on how you value gems. And then there are HoD swords... The problem is, worth isn't all about cash.

W/E: 10k
Mo/N: 10k
Storage: 100k

Now, if you counted items, there'd be a lot more. But as it is, I don't like letting money sit around.

About 300K in four accounts, I think. Have given away about 100K to guildmates, plus a lot of gear. Still have half a dozen really expensive weapons.

But I'm not surprised at these statistics. I've never thought Guildwars suffered from inflation (too much money), I've always felt it suffered from mudflation (too much ubergear).

Since I don't want to farm day and night, I think I'm in that 75%. Well, maybe not, I have around 30k in cash now. Still, the difference between rich and poor is simply sick - as shown by some here.

I have around 35k in cash, and two characters have 15k armor plus green weapons. I also have two more green weapons plus some materials and crap lying around, but that doesn't amount to much

Add everything together...about 30k. 60k was my all time high. I don't farm, and tend not to stint on something if i can afford it. But it's a comfy amount of money. It accumulated by itself as i PvE'd, so no effort put into getting it. I spend when there's something i want, and i tend to be able to afford most things. But i don't go crazy, so it tends to replenish itself. The money balance in GW seems about right, to me. However, this is with steading PvE, bringing various chars through the game. Now that i've gotten bored with that, and am playing more and more PvP, my reserves are getting depleted...maybe a reward in gold of roughly the same amount as the faction rewards would be a good idea?

I don't have a ton of money, about 35k, but I have friends and have a lot of fun with them playing.

That's my riches.

It's just the 80/20 ratio.

20% of the population controls 80% of the money.

I got a money stat for you....

I make about $400 a week. My bills are $300 a week. I work in a restaurant, so food is covered, but that leaves me with $100 a week to try and save or do anything. I can't go into the woods and kill monsters for money in real life. I can't find other people and go fight other people for a sigil.

what were you saying about pixels again?

If you don't think pixels are important, I'll gladly accept a donation of a transaction of pixels on a bank computer monitor from your account to mine.

In GW I have 250k in storage, about 75k spread around on characters, and some items worth maybe 100 or 200k total.

This forum isn't that accurate of a representation either. Fansites don't accurately show the people as a whole, because the "Fansite goers" are a specific group - a large portion of players never touch forums or anything.
