I'm a financial failure in video games.
 

No matter how hard I try i just cant put in the work get good gear/make plat/gold etc

Even tho wow has automated programs that just print money for u off of the AH after u sign over your account details still cant

all 25 years I have been playing these games I have never made more than pennies on any of my characters.

And even now I don't even remember my login codes so I maybe at best have like 1kpp somewhere. Also half my gear is borrowed from other ppls it would be wrong of me to sell it. And I tend to lose money doing that too.

Who else is like this and just *boggles* at the ppl with over a mil pp?

I want to be clear i'm not complaining i'm kinda actually proud of the fact that I can't seem to ever break even from crafting banded

Poor player thread

If you're poor in video games, you're probably successful in real life.

And vice versa too.

The richest person on P99 is probably a wet slug of a human being.

I'm kind of middle of the road. I never have high end stuff, but I have like lower-middle class gear and a little pile of plat (10kish) in the bank. I think the most valuable item I've camped myself is a Gazughi ring, and the best item I've ever gotten is my Shammy epic I paid 10k for (was supposed to be 20k, but Fires of Heaven people fucked off to some TLP).

I knew one guy personally back in the day (haven't see him in 5 years or so), that had hundreds of thousands of plat and all sorts of good shit on P99 and he was an absolutely unhygienic neckbeard overweight dude with no job that played 15 hours per day. Clearly no normal person has that kind if time, and even if I did, I would get so upside down fucked bored of EQ. The only reason I still enjoy it is because I play 3 or 4 hours per week and randomly quit playing for 2 or 3 months at a time.

you don't stick with a character/server long enough to make real money

Come to Mumbai, OP. Being poor by your standards couldn't be too bad here. :cool:

What do ppl usually smuggle for trading. Tbh im not super good with foreign exchanges. Banks. Laws. Stuff like that. Struggle to fill out forms too.

He's probably more like a company CEO or politician.

If you are unsuccesfull at EQ ou will be unsuccesful at the current version of RL.

The most succesful should be the devs who have the biggest headstart on everybody and all the inside information.
