At least a few thousand over the last 10 years I'd say, easily. Better than cocaine right? ;)

Probably more addictive..

Edit: I've never really bought KP for zeny conversion though. It's more the convenience of having every buff and VIP available.

Aussie wages, what can I say.

I maxed out my bank loan and credit card when they put really good stuffs in the box or when enriched is in. Then if it's not enough, I'd go check my sister's purse or my bro's piggy bank.

Take this enriched and fire sale, for example. I 'borrowed' a few grands from my now-ex friends just so I can refine my stuffs.

Would have mortgaged the house, but I already did that during the Christmas last year. iRO rules! Weee ~

if you think they have only a few hundred you are kidding yourself

 

also the ridiculous amounts have got to do with bmx3s and bbs appearing too often in boxes, prices are -_- now

 

box 1: FAW with Bmx3

box 2: IRE with Bmx3

box 3 firesale: chance of BMx3 8 ea

 

etc

 

it aint stopping

 

i would have liked the option to exchange Bmx3 for prize medals for example, takes BMx3s off the market cos of oversupply, and its useful stuff as well.

That's a very impolite question... >.>

 

You can go and ask someone directly (after you get to know the said person) if you really want to know.

If you don't like the question then don't answer. Your opinion isn't necessarily shared by everyone.

 

I used to spend $20 a week + VIP when I needed to renew it. Even if I had nothing to buy I'd add $20 worth of KP to the pool just in case something came along like a Fire Sale, or for the off chance I needed stuff to suit my circumstances like manuals, kafra blues, abrasives, foods, tokens, port/buff scrolls, ores for a nice new thing I wanted to refine, etc. When lucrative boxes appeared I'd put in between $30-50 more, on top of the weekly $20 to make the best of it.

 

Probably spent a few k over my lifetime on this game.

 

What's crazy is that my numbers aren't very impressive at all compared to some people I know, who drop $500+ every week selling KP to randoms, and even more on good boxes.

 

Then you've got the RMTers. Just imagine how much money goes through those illegit channels. Its mind boggling @_@

This game is a hobby for a lot of people and it's also a power trip to others, so both types spend money.

These people keep the game alive, so there's little reason to complain.

 

They *probably* lack the in game sense of accomplishment that you do when you reach a gear goal, etc.

 

Just have fun and don't worry about other people unless they are cheating or making your experience crappy by harassing you.

Ouch, ouch, ouch... That was just mho... >.>

 

I'm well aware of the whole situation on this game, I used to spend money on the game as well, since I was newbie and some players were already ahead of the game and nobody were willing to share their source of their game currency income, I had to find and develop my own means. Now I don't need that and I even encourage other players not to sell WPE in other to acquire zeny or items. That only serves as a trampoline for the rich gamers who have been around longer than the new comers, which is a way to oppress the newbies into they must sell WPE to feed the bellies of the veterans and the zeny makers keeping the WPE sellers in a bind always dependent on the older players.

 

Have you watched A Bug's Life? Awesome animated movie by PIXAR, I recommend it. (=

Now I just spend $30 a month just to VIP my 2 accounts and maybe buy some boxes that go along with the month (if they're worth it).

 

If there's a box with Prize Medals though...

I personally buy VIP for 2 accounts, then as needed for some cool new useful gear. For cosmetic and pointless hats/gear I tend to wait, because either boxster or undercutting will eventually kill the price...

 

But yeah I've easily spent a few grand on this game over the course of my 7 year iRO life. I don't mind though, gotta help keep the server afloat.

Hah ohh I hope I don't get told off? To be fair, I get about 80 whispers a day with that site so it's hardly a secret.

 

Where do they even get them from though? It's not as if you can farm them like strawberries is it?!
