And if you see Monty following Snarky, who is following a pedestrian, because of Scarlet Shockers idea...

Earning inf can be done is serval ways. Play the game and save getting a level 50 toons and running in WTF, or just plan TF, raids or trials. Playing on higher difficulty setting yields larger rewards. Become a farmer. You will need to build and io out a toon designed to complete ae farming maps is short order. Multi boxing helps a lot. Play the market. Learn what IOs are in demand and sell. This takes some understanding of how the AH works. Most of the big earners play the market. As suggested, read through the guides. Playing the game all the way through will help with understanding the finer points. Good luck!

Nah! Every player must suffer the Kill All COT cave maps. Especially the one that is multi tiered and you have no fly or hover powers.

Could try posting in suggestions and feedback. It's does bring up the idea of paying for custom costume pieces. I wonder if the devs would entertain the idea.

Once in awhile I'll be PI and drag a couple monsters from the island north west of the portal complex. I bring them to parking lot in front and watch the fun! Sometimes I'll get careless and drop them in front of one of the buildings and one of the drone will zap them into nothingness. So, monsters are vulnerable but, I have not tried something like this on a giant monster.

And reading you post earlier, it seems my hypothesis is correct.

I guess I should do full disclosure. I have around 19 billion available across 20 alts in 3 accounts. The highest I've ever amassed was 25 billion. That's when I started doing games.

The spirit of the poll is inf on hand of all toons but, not counting what IOs slotted or salvage. Pure liquidity. As I have mentioned earlier, I think knowing how many alts you have should have been a secondary question. I am sure the players who have more alts have less available inf. Which makes sense.

Welcome to the fun!

I will be something like this soon. Along the lines of.....who is wearing a pink cowboy hat?

I was wondering if anyone would ask. There are two reasons for this poll. One was just curiosity because I remember a similar poll a few years ago and wanted to see if it changed much. The other reason was to help gauge prizes. I have put up some challenges with hide and seek for 50 million and it seemed that not many were interested. So are we in a state that player base does not find that an adequate amount?

There is a pattern. It seems those who create many alts fund just enough to accomplish that. The dip in the curve @ 600 m - 2bn. I suspect those have more alts. Once you get above that amount I believe where the farmers, flippers, marketers start and continue on. You could also add in long time players who basically play but don't build alts. Of course this is an extremely small sample. In hindsight I should have added how many alts and how they have been playing. It would interesting to see a comparison. I wonder if the HC team could post some raw anonymous data to dig deeper.

Actually this would be. "Is it safe?" {High pitched drill sounds}

Funny, I see you in my rearview mirror...

... And then one day you find. Ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run. You missed the starting gun.... {Queue epic guitar solo}

It seems to be a pattern of using RMs and other salvage to fund things. That is pretty much the same for me. I farmed for a good while in the beginning to gain inf. I have an entire base full of named enhancements. Have no idea of the value. When I need to scratch the altitus I just go shopping for what I need. Then I have my crafting base which is all salvage. I don't farm much any more and may just dump it all.

I understand that. I went through all my alts and email on 3 accounts to see what I had.

Title.

You are doing an awesome job! Keep up the good work!

Beat me to it, by a lot.

I use the function under combat attributes to monitor certain aspects. You can watch your endurance recovery and you endurance consumption for example. The same for health, defense, resistance etc. Some people use mids to pan out their builds. I tend to start with a blank slate and kinda let things unfold for themselves.

Thanks Zeke, you explained it much better than I could have. Another note on the super packs. I do not recommend buy just one pack. The 1.2 ATO is an average. You could get zero or you could get 2. You just hope to get one. Getting an ATO makes to super pack profitable. I usually buy them in lots of a hundred and can turn a nice profit if marketed right. You get a lot of stuff that you can't sell, like free tailor sessions, respects stuff like that. I just wanted you to know that booster can be acquired in super packs.

You can also get boosters from opening super packs. These can be bought for 10mil each for the heroes or rogue packs. 25mil each for the winter packs. You will find these under "special" in the auction house.

In my opinion the economy is way better now than in live. There are safe guards in place to prevent an out of control market like on live. The common, uncommon, and rare salvage have been seeded with common being maxed out at 10,000, uncommon 100,000 and rare at 1,000,000. (I think those are the amounts) This means that is the most you would ever pay for these items. Now those items are no where near these prices which is great. This keep the cost of set IOs in check. When starting out it can be tough because you have nothing. Once you get your first 50 which then can feed your alts. Just play the game, learn the auction house if you want, have fun. It not a race. In regards to enhancement being sold by contacts, you want to select contacts that match what you picked. Natural, science, etc. usually you are guided when being introduced to a new contact. They will tell you that this contact specializes in tech or magic. You also have to complete a mission or two in order for the contact store to become available. I hope that helps with your questions.
