    Sitting on millions doing nothing. Boy. Must be nice to be able to say that while I've been struggling to maintain 100k.

    What have you been doing that you can't get over 100k? Have you tried not spending more than your gross income?

    I laughed at this I login and make 100k from writs I'm not sure how anyone does not have large amounts of gold

    How many characters do you have doing writs?

    10

    100K from writs every day, week, year? If I do those, I get 3.6k + 300 from trash shipment mats + max 700 from gear = 4.6k daily from it. The gold per minute is still greater than stealing, though.

    From gold mats, exp pages, master writ plus doing them on 10 characters nets me just about 40k from that all my mats are farmed so it's pure profit for me.

    It get way more then 100k but some days RNG is not nice some days I can make 500k if all the good stuff drops

    I'd spend my entire daily allotment of playtime in load screens doing writs on 10 characters. I'll stick to my 2, still net plenty.

    I'm guessing people saying they profit from activity x or y (eg Writs) mean they are getting things they sell on guild traders?

    Then the answer to why some of us struggle to make coin is that we can't sell stuff on guild traders because we can't promise to log in often enough and make enough money to tithe and be allowed to stay on the roster. I'd have loads more gold if there wasn't such a barrier to casual listing of items for trade. I wouldn't be a baron, my game fun doesn't lean to playing the market, but at least I'd do better than vendor prices.

    I finally saved up the gold to buy Mathiisen Manor, but now I find that I prefer the sense of possibility that savings give me to owning virtual real estate. Of course it didn't help that ZOS walled in the manor's windows ... But really, the sense of having choices is more fun than I would get from spending the money, so I imagine that I'll hold onto it until I have enough that I can indulge an impulse or two without losing that sense that Tamriel is my oyster.

    Spent 200k buying the new Sixth Robe costume and the Dwemer Pet ( beats farming ) other than buying potions and gems my gold doesnt really go on anything else and I have millions sitting doing nothing I thought "Why the hell not"

    Wise move. The Sixth House pages drop like once per server per decade. They have not yet invented the floating point system that can accurately describe the drop rate. I spent a couple of days trying to find a hint that they exist. I got a ton of gold from various mobs, but no costume drops from any mobs or bosses.

    Try theorycrafting, dude. You will end up with no money in no time.

    pen-and-paper theorycraft...work it all out before spending your money...maths is good for you :)

    Who doesn't do maths before theorycrafting? :D I always do maths before spending money. The thing is, for PvP theorycrafting, pen-and-paper is just a small first step, you still have to test everything. There are things that look so good on paper but in reality they don't fit your playstyle at all. Especially there are so many RNG-based sets, so on paper the number might look good on average but how often they proc rely too much on your playstyle, the enemies and the surrounding. So if you are a theorycrafter you aren't going to have money.

    You obviously haven't had to improve armour to gold yet. I spent 200K doing that alone. Also, buying motifs for my crafter set me back a pretty penny or two, and she still only has about half of them.

    I have a lot of gold too.
    Upgrading armor sets to golden quality, buying new armor sets items and furnishing on a regular basis will require substantial amount of gold.
    If you don't do any of the above, you're saving many millions of gold for other use.
    Also, buying the alchemy ingredients and crafting the potions by yourself is cheaper than buying the potions in guild store/s.
