Guild Wars 2

Have you ever wonder, how much you spent on the gem store already.

$1000

10€… expansion definitely would make me pay more.

Vol.5241:

$1000

Are you being serious or joking?

Lots. But gaming is my hobby, and it is cheaper than drinking, so shrug.

I’m completely serious. But I haven’t spent anything over $20 since January I think? Many of my purchases were last year.

If you think that is bad, I spent close around $5000 many years ago playing Hero Online, such cheap kitten F2P Korean MMO. Of course I got scammed later on and lost all that worth :|

So what all did you spend your money on? Just converting to gold or what? Because there wasn’t really a ton of things to buy in the gem store before Christmas.

-Bought full inventory slots
-Bought 3 bank tabs
-Bought a ton of keys (in addition to +30 keys from Kiel)
-Bought a ton of minipet packages (was a terrible decision)

But it mostly consisted of converting gems to gold. At that time I was probably 200-300G away from my legendary, and I can be a very impulsive and impatient person. The exchange rate at that time wasn’t all that great either, so it cost a bit to finish off my Bifrost.

Since December, gold acquisition is much easier (and more so in the past few months), and the # of things in game that I want are getting smaller since I have pretty much tricked out my Guardian. I’ll probably only spend $20 every few months now just to get those ‘gifts’ Anet sends out.

Zero. It’s my passive aggressive approach to protesting NCSOFT for it’s sudden closure of City of Heroes, a game I spent well over a $1000 on over the years. So I will buy their game (on sale even) but resist giving them any more money because if they really wanted my money they would have kept the doors open over there.

Plus other than some account items like bank and character slots, there isn’t anything that screams BUY ME! at the Gem Store.

inb4 Gem Store Precursors.

Every night I buy a few gems with gold. 1% of my net worth, 5% the Monday before a major patch. So far I hadn’t needed to do a large convert after a spike in the exchange rate to get anything I wanted or was on sale.

Hmm, Trans Crystals are on sale again… but haven’t used the ones I bought the last time they were on sale. Whatever.

My wife and I spent about 300$ altogether since launch.
