What do you use gold For

If you have addons it takes about 2-3 minutes per character to do writs and even if you only do it on one character it's still a minimum of 4k a day, plus the potential for gold mats/master surveys which can sell for a lot.

If you only play for 20 minutes a day and hate housing, chances are you don't need a lot of gold anyway, so I'm not sure what your complaint is.

I never complained, its all good, I like that you can buy upgrademats with gold.
Oh, and in Loading Screen Online, 2-3 minutes is the time you need to relogg.
I timed it, with 2 chars, logging, running around taking the writs, getting to the craftingstations and delivering the writs takes about 20 minutes (with Dulgons Lazy Writ Crafter). not factoring in the time it takes to buy raw mats if you run out, plus the additional relogg because the Mail still doesnt work properly.

Again, not complaining, I get why it takes this time. I just dont have it.

Upgrading a new Set to Gold tier costs roughly 250k in materials.
How anyone could have any money in this game is beyond me (if he doesnt have the time to do the farming. Which pretty much no one over 30 has )

And what a silly assumption... age has no bearing on free time whatsoever. I know 18 year olds that are busier than 50 year olds and this game attracts all ages. But you have to love the high and mighty players who feel the need to justify their playtime by making sure everyone knows they aren't one of those losers with free time.

<sigh> Allright, my bad, I should have phrased differently. "The older you get the more responsibility you have in Real Life, the less time there is to do the chores in mmo`s in addition to the normal gameplay".
But, with 18, I could do things like 8 hours of gaming in one sitting. Now, with 37, I am happy to make it through half an hour of uninterrupted gaming

Some of us are in our 40's and retired. It has nothing to do with age, but the financial decisions we have made.

Not a bum, sorry.

If I'm tired and/or have other things on my mind I usually avoid doing group content, since I feel I'm underperforming, making too many mistakes and probably pissing off the other players. So on those days I simply login, replenish guild store inventory, check research, do the writs and maybe some daily quests (ex. the ones in Summerset nowadays) then logout, since those activities don't require maximum concentration. With addons doing writs on 14 characters takes me just under an hour, and I can almost do it automatically, with barely watching the screen, since I know where everything goes. In the end that day isn't lost, since the gold and materials I've earned will help me further down the road, when I need to make a build, or do something else.
