Share some info on your wealth, add to that the highest amount of gold you ever had, how you made it.
I'll go first, 1g 7s got like 0.5g yesterday at AC, rest is from selling my drops, using 18% magic find food.

10g or so, basically got it off jumping puzzles dailies and cof.
One of my current favorite gear setup is zerk gear with magic find runes, you get over 100 mf that way and you are still doing top dps.

22g 40s or so. This economy is so royally screwed right now that ANet is going to have to do massive amounts of work to fix it. They said they didn't want it to be a grind game, and they turned it into exactly that. Don't even get me started on how absolutely stupid MF is, needs to be removed from the game all together.

Is 20g alot in GW2? Seems like I never hear someone say they have like 100g, so I guess 20g is kinda like really rich?

Not at all. The amount of wallet warriors in GW2 is enormous, not to mention the people who more often than not claim they have some secret method of "playing the TP" (some do have the knowledge for this, but not nearly as many who say they do) and are more likely exploiters or people who buy gold off of bot sites. I got into an argument with some idiot who tried to tell me he made 1000g legit. No life or not, that guy was full of enough crap to fertilize a farm.

I don't think thats the case, people seem to agree more around the fact that it increases your chance of rarer loot rather than it being a straight % increase across the board.
No1 knows for sure though.

It's not a direct percent increase, because you can have over 100% MF. Nobody knows what it is exactly though besides ANet.

In the end I think 1 Gold in GW2 will be comparable to 1 Plat in GW1. Even though earning it feels a lot slower in the beginning.

No, 1 plat in GW1 was ridiculously easy to get just running around killing stuff. 1 gold takes hours doing that. 100 plat in GW1 would actually last you a reasonable amount of time too, because the economy wasn't messed up. Whatever the equivalent of that is in GW2, maybe 10-20g, disappears in no time.

No way in hell a plate = gold lol That's what you may think. But if you're in any way serious about making gold, it's very easy to come by. It's not unusual to make 4 gold an hour, though maybe not through just running around. I also said "in the end", the current exchange rate is closer to what From The Blackness posted on reddit, which is [dammit he removed his comment, I believe it was like 1 gold = 10k? he was comparing the most efficient farms].

No way in hell 1g = 10k. It is unusual to make 4g in an hour, because drops are so god awful. Even the crap in GW1 sold for something, now we just get all these useless trophies (wonder how many spikes I've collected from WvW alone) that we can't do anything with.

^ Just cause you get crappy drops doesn't mean everyone does. Yesterday and today I got a total of 4 exotics (2 on each day) and countless rares (at least 5). I was running around in Orr, did one fractal run and a couple of CoF runs. So it is not unusual to make that much gold. And don't tell me I'm lying, I got screenshots to prove it

Just because you got good drops doesn't mean everyone does.
RNG, it fuels 98% of this game. You got lucky, it probably won't happen again. It sucks to say that, but unless something changes, it's true.

Why are you talking about rng .... is all for cosmetic crap. Actual gear is super attainable.

Money isn't cosmetic, money = drops, drops = RNG.

For what do you need money that you are bringing it up as an issue ? Buying one of the halloween rare skins for 100g ? or is perhaps another rare skin or 20 slot bag that is in the way of your completion ?
GW2 doesn't have rng that affects gameplay, don't be misleading.

I'm not saying I need it for anything, you might want to read a few previous posts, you'll understand why I'm saying drops are based on RNG then. Toast wrote: No way in hell 1g = 10k.

Curve is correct, if you go to Arah (Penitent path) and farm at the end of tunnel you will get good drops venom sac and bones what sells for good price, also doing rotation quests when in that location.
Also it helps if you use Magic find while farming, aka - better loot..

If I'm going to mindlessly farm, and bore myself to death, I'd rather do it at Karka's where I can actually make some money.
Lol magic find, I can only hope that idiotic stat will be removed.

Lol.
The ignorance coming from a few of these posts is off the charts. Cool the elitism mk? Such a pity that crap got brought into this game, there was very little of that in GW1.
