Jinroh.4251 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I don't want to know. It's bad enough that one day I calculated how much I spent on WoW over the years (I quit in March) but this game...no sub but the gem store. THE GEM STORE! How many gems?! THE HORROR! I don't want to think about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signet Of Whatever.9056 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Just a little under $1000 usd. Things like level 80 boosts, waypoint unlockers and items used to max a couple crafts. Makes it sound like I'm not into the main gameplay. And that may be true to a degree considering I'm mostly into exploration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luciferior.4802 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 To Ayumi Spender.1082 It was gems to gold then find the one you want on the trade post ...at the time the average amount you had to spend was $210ish give or take though I recall some going up to $410 especially when the conversions were high while the concept doesn't compliment my choices I feel I deserve a title for the amount I have invested in guild wars 2 not even counting the funds I spent on guild wars 1 though that was mostly just the expansions. I might be currently one of the most broke *less then 30g* characters in game atm due to my own choices but over my time on guild wars 2 I feel like I have done my part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 It would be higher but I stopped spending real money on the gem store a year or so back and started converting gold to gems. Before that, the game, 2 expansions and about $10/month for gemstore items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenom.9457 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Ive been around about 2 and a half years (early 2015), and I'm under 18 so lacking a job and not lacking things to buy :P . But I spend money here frequently, I've spent like $40 in the last week because of how happy I am with PoF and new Halloween stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those microtransitions support ongoing updates to the game, but okay. I've spent just under $1K, so I got you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deihnyx.6318 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 That'd be the last one for me. But I don't mind, I see it as a way to show support for a game I enjoy and play everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayakaru.6583 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Not sure if i spend the same in dollars as euros, but should be close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry.5713 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Upper end of $500-1000, probably even $1000+ now that I think about it. Bought a lot of items on the cash shop over the years and traded gems for gold quite a few times. There is nothing to be ashamed about spending money on something you enjoy even if this hobby happens to be an MMORPG. All a matter of how much increased conviniences as well as your personal leasure time are worth to you. Especially if you do not particularly enjoy the currently most effective gold farming method.

blambidy.3216 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 In the beginning I think I got like couple 2000 gems. Got regular hot. And then the POF deluxe. But ever since I been reading how to earn gold I never thought about buying gems. So it's just grind and playing. I prob spent 150 altogether Over 2 years.

I've spent just under $1K, so I got you. Since the introduction of Fractals back in 2012, i haven't enjoyed a single live update (living story etc). So i'm not supporting what i dislike.

Not all updates are about content- there have been quite a few QoL updates since 2012 that I'm sure you take advantage of, not to mention the server juice over the _312 solid days you have played the game_, but whatever. It just seems weird to sink so much time into something that requires human effort to maintain, and to be smug about how little you've done to support its existence.

FrozenStarRo.7240 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I actually checked my bank statements for gaming related purchases a year ago and Anet/GW2 was at the top of my expenses. I came up to around 1200 euro added up over 3 years of playing it at the time. I never bought gems in big increments, usually 800-1600 at a time, I only splurged when they offered Mini Mr. Sparkles for buying gems which in hindsight is stupid as I never used it, plus minis get hidden 90% of the time, and they can add up to quite a lot without noticing! I have since then refrained from silly purchases (BL keys, minis, outfits, gliders, stuff I'd get bored of within a week) and only spend rarely on utility stuff (shared slots, chars slots, bank tabs).

Samnang.1879 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 about $500... i dont like farming for things unless money can't buy it xD e.g. wvw tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alga.6498 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Been here since BETA and been purchasing quite alot from gem shop, I also usually buy gems to get fast golds because I dont have that much time "farming" for gold, so I simply enjoy playing the game with the time I got for GW2. :) Let's also say I have 71 characters, so... there you have =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evga.2471 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I can't remember how much money I spent on this game but it might be in the range of 100 - 500. To tell you the truth I really don't care how much money I drop on this game since it's my favorite game since I started playing it. I think it was a month or two before the Queens Jubilee but at last I don't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I don't know exactly. Especially since the poll is in dollars - US dollars I assume - and the exchange rate has changed over the years. But I bought the Deluxe edition of the original game and the Ultimate editions of both HoT and PoF and I've bought gems as well. I'm sure it comes to at least a few hundred pounds, so well over 100 dollars, but I'd be surprised if it was over $500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raif.9507 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I believe somewhere in the ballpark of $2500 - $3000 by now since launch. I'm not 100% sure. I've got 3 (2 deluxes, 1 normal) accounts that I bought for friends, 2 HoT's, 1 PoF and on my main account numerous gem purchases. I've hit the gem purchase cap a few times. I've had to make myself stop though and slow down. I totally noticed that I was slightly addicted to the BLTC Keys and some other items like those in other games so I've slowed down in the last few years.

Shrimpkin.4851 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I had GW2 bought for me as a gift so that doesn't count. But I purchased HoT and PoF and I've made two gem purchases. My total would probably be lower if it wasn't for the exchange rate. (grumbles about Canada's monopoly money) Much as I'd like to contribute more to the game, I'm not in the financial position to do so. I do what I can with what I have and continue to have a lot of fun in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endless Soul.5178 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I bought the core game during one of the 10$ sales in March 2015. Since then I've bought both expansions, and I have a stack in my drawer of all the gem cards I bought. That stack shows that I've bought well over $1,000 worth of gems over the last couple of years.

Menadena.7482 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 You need an 'I do not want to know' option. I basically figure if I am spending less than a popular subscription game I am coming out ahead. The exact number I spend varies over time but probably I spent more in my first year than now because you do not need to buy shared tools twice. On the other hand we have expacks now.
