PyrateSilly.4710 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I am not sure, lol. It might be between $500 - $1,000 option or it might be the over $1,000 option. Between mine, my wife's, and both my son's accounts I am not sure the total. No I did not buy all of them the game or the expansions but I have bought some of them the expansions and some of them I got some extra things for birthdays like the tools or maybe a mini (the 10 yr old granddaughter has her own char on daddy's account, lol, she's not allowed to spend daddy's gems). It's probably over the $1,000 option.I enjoy the game so I play and spend money on things I want in it.If we are also counting the first Guild Wars then I can safely say that yes I have spent well over $1,000 in the 10 yrs that ANet's been live with both GW and GW2.

Game of Bones.8975 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I've been playing since the first anniversary (I wanted to see how people liked it vs GW1). I have the Core, HoT, PoF, and I would drop $100 couple few months. I would make sure what I got was not character specific (except a few inventory slots) and haven't spent much on armor/weapon skins. Shared inventory slots, unlimited harvesting tools, a couple upgrades to material storage, and a rarely seen weapon skin or two that rounded out my profession look have probably been my best purchases.I figure for all the time I played, it evens out for what I would drop on a pay-to-play game (plus add-ons).

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. I simply do not like their updates. And the reasoning is very simple. PVE wise, i enjoy dungeons, difficult ones. There are no such thing in gw2. So im not supporting a company that doesn't offer the standard of the mmo industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undouble.1472 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I've played since the initial release of GW------------bought a lot (usually spend ~$100+/month on gems for "needed" accessories/goodies. But------what I appreciate is that the money I spend on GW2 is completely VOLUNTARY-------------if I don't want to (or I need the cash for other purposes) I don't HAVE to----------and either way, my enjoyment of this game isn't impacted. As an estimate, my "investment" in GW2 is probably in excess of $2k and continuing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardid.7203 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 The two expacs, a few gems every two months or so to spend, mostly in utilities like bank tabs, bag slots, farming tools and recycling machine, but also in a few fancy things like gliders and armor. Also quite a few gifts for friends... Since I have played regularly for the last 4 years, I don't think it is too much money, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Aschi Popp.7496 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Core was a Christmas gift and PoF was also a gift.I only bought HoT.Core is my favourite.I will absolutely never. Ever. Pay cash for pixels outside of buying a game. Full stop. Especially when I can in game earn ANYTHING.I do not judge. But I consider buying gems cheating. It circumvents gameplay (gold to gem). Vs "outside help" (gems to gold) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwilightSoul.9048 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Got Core GW2 and later HoT as a gift, bought PoF and bought gems once I think. I don't really care about most of the stuff in the cash shop, the only things I bought where bank tab and bag slot expansions, one character slot one mini (Avatar of the Pale tree) and one Armor set - the only things I'd buy would be more armor sets unfortunatly we mostly get outfits, which is despise personally.Maybe I'll have to buy storage expansions at some point but I'll do that with Gold, I don't like spending money for gold either since.. well what's the point of playing the game if you're just gonna throw money at it to achieve your goals?

Astralporing.1957 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I honestly have no idea, especially since i'm not spending USD. In any case, it was a lot. Although lately my spending went way down. I just don't feel comfortable spending money on a game when i don't support the changes to its direction.

Fantasy.5321 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I'd say it's between $400 and $500. I occasionally buy Gems when I like something in the Gem Store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeolus.3615 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 on the first 2 years of the game, but i think the way Anet has and is borking stuff up, i would rather want my money back than spend more in this thing.Started to stoped burn money into gw2 3 years ago, and saving for the next game ill play..

Moonlit.6421 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Hm I didn't think to factor in the game and expac prizes. I might actually be over 1k then. 40 characters and counting and a huge fashion wars addiction lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witch of Doom.5739 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 No idea, but beyond the game, the two expansion packs, and a few Gem cards, not very much. However much I've spent, though, it's a heckuva lot cheaper than booze or therapy, and a lot more fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanfearShadowflame.3189 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Pretty certain I've broken the 1k mark by this point. Between 3 paid copies of the game, ultimate editions, and oodles of gems. What can I say? I like to support things I enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! My thoughts exactly. So many TMKs. And worse yet is what I use them for... changing hair color from one shade of black to a slightly different shade of black. Changing eye color from one shade of brown to a slightly different shade of brown, and maybe moving one slider a quarter of an inch over. Changing the length of a charr's teeth. Oh! No! Who even cares about a charr's teeth? Apparently me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyrateSilly.4710 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I have just spent $1,600 along with what insurance will pay for 3 months of 3x's a week at a chiropractor to fix a problem with my spine. Not sure if I have spent that much over the last 10 years to ANet but spending it in game has been way more fun then the dr. Don't begrudge the money at all!!

Hevoskuuri.3891 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Probably around 1500€ in total so far.We won't beat that guy on Reddit though who had spent almost 60k$, and had proof of it. He probably single-handedly funded PoF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoosterTooth.1024 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Core Deluxe, HoT was gifted, PoF Deluxe, probably $100+ easy on gems....no regrets! Fixing to spend another $50ish on gems this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
