I think I have this condition. I can't see some numbers at my bank account that I go to the guild vendors and buy something. A motif, a recipe, a set that I could test, something that it's a steal... and when I need money for something really usefull I never have it... like now... I want the wichmother potent brew recipe, but I spent my money in lots of garbages so... you know... :s:s :'( :'(

I'm alone with it or there are another addicteds here? :D

    I went from having around 200,000 gold to having only about 50,000 this week. I guess I won't be getting another house any time soon. B)

    I think that the witches festival will return this year, and I don't think that they will make entirely new recipes for that. So you could just wait a few weeks and get it basically free ;) That doesn't help with your addiction, I know, but maybe it's a small consolation!

    I feel like we need to start an anonymous. no matter how much income I make... i end up spending most of it. first it was motifs. now its motifs AND houses. and luxury furnishings. there was one week where I made 1 mil off guild traders (my typical trader income is closer to 200-300k a week, I just got lucky with couple of BA drops that one time). but did I save it? nope. it was gone the same week O_O

    not sure about you, but I think for me at least its overcompensating for RL where I'm way WAY more careful when it comes to spending money and much MUCH better at saving it. so in video games? I go wild. /hides

    I like to farm my stuff too... but... why keep virtual money in a virtual bank in a virtual life for virtual purposes!? lol

    My problem is to spend it while there is some changes in my bank account...

    Well with the item retraining (not sure when) I think it's wise not to pay 100-300k for a weapon, sell up your excess.
