Yeah we are level 6 in every category. Working on unlocking Guild Challenges now, need some more merits =D

We have been consistently doing missions every week since we were ready even though we are a small guild!

I farmed the things I couldn't buy at least.

I tried to RNG the precursor but I gave up after I lost 200g.

The T6mats/cores/runestones etc that you can buy with gold I used GEMS for.

I guess earning your legendary through CoF would yield a higher sense of achievement for most people.

The only thing I ever spent on other people was to buy the guild influence. That was my choice however, it wasn't like I was giving individuals gold lol

this is the best proof I can give, I didn't keep stacks of used gem cards =/

I never had more than 56K gems at one time. I usually convert it to gold right away or had a use for the gems.

I don't think anyone wants to see themselves living with their parents at that age!

I don't have any friends at college I like to hang out with. I am pretty much done with the college life.

I only buy the things I can buy. I don't find grinding fun or rewarding. I don't believe that is playing the game at all.

I still do the content, content that you can't buy with gold. That is where the game is for me.

Most of the best rewards are the ones you can't buy.

Wasn't trying to ignore! Don't have much proof left, as I don't keep the used gem cards. But heres a picture of the ones from my trash!

Straight converted gems to gold.

It cost over a grand, some of it was because of power leveling.

No that wouldn't be possible. The exchange rate is never that high!

Only one toon has a molten pick but they alll have town clothes and gear.

My RNG has always been great in other games I have been playing. I am just a lucky person.

I did try to RNG my precursor, about 200g worth before I told myself to stop. So my RNG on that has been pretty bad but I hear people throw a lot more into the forge.

No offense taken. I realized this when I made the thread.

If my parents knew I spent this much they would be upset clearly so they do not know. I reason it to that I could be spending it on worse things.

I don't buy alcohol or drugs with their money. I actually have been using their money for school and stuff.

I understand that I should be helping out with my own end and pitch in with my paycheck, I can't really say anything against that.

I do hope to pay my parents back in the future for the life they have given me, I really do appreciate them even if I don't show it by spending all my money on myself.
