(sorry if you saw this in the tag already, i'm crossposting bc i'm Hungry for Information)
so anyway with roundsey & all this argument over “rich” vs. “poor” players, i’m honestly wondering what the standard is! like, what actual...let’s say treasure/gems on hand amount constitutes, effectively, the middle class of FR
i’m super curious, please tell me: how much treasure/gems do you usually have on hand? how much have you ever had all at once? how do you usually make your dragon cash? what’s the most expensive thing you’ve ever bought on-site? & of course: how many roundsey tickets did you buy? why that amount?
edit for clarity, since i'd like to actually crunch some of these numbers! here are 5 main fields i'm interested in for stats purposes:
for purposes of data gathering, either or both of the 2 roundsey weeks works. :D
(also, all the qualitative stuff is SUPER INTERESTING, i love reading this thread, please keep talking about it all - this is just for my stat loving heart)
to start things off, i like to keep at least 1-2mil treasure on me at once, and gem amounts vary, but 1500g is always nice to have kicking around. currently i have 35kg in the vault and ~4.6kg on hand, plus 4.5mil treasure - it’s a little over the most i’ve ever truly saved up. i make my money mostly from art & a leveling service. currently saving for a cog frog, with a light sprite (paid ~42kg) being the most i’ve ever spent on a single item! i bought 100 roundsey tickets, purely for funsies. gotta enter the first raffle.
these are just some factors, of course! there's also: how long you been on site, what items (if any) you enjoy collecting & by extension what you tend to hoard instead of sell, and so many other things i'm not even thinking of (for instance i have over 1000 unopened chests that would make me some bank but god do they look good in my hoard)
so. yeah! Discuss!! ov o
EDIT: holy moly this took off!! i'm vvvvvv tired tonight but also interested in collecting these answers and at the very least crunching the concrete numbers folks have volunteered!
also: something i added as a secondary thought: account liquidation is absolutely another factor to consider -- think of returning players who can just... sell a light sprite and have 50kg to play with in this new, 850-950t per gem market. wild.
EDIT THE SECOND: if you want to add your numbers to the stats, but prefer not to post here / would like to keep it anonymous, please feel free to PM me on here or send an anon message on my tumblr! i'm beginning to slot the raw data into a spreadsheet, so every answer counts :D
also also, favorite comment:
I'd say you're rich but not uber-rich.
You're the guy who buys a yacht and has a mansion, but you're not the guy who buys 6 yachts and gold plates his Lamborghini.
it's... a very accurate summation. let's talk again once i have an all-double G1 gem-gened wildclaw/coatl lair >:3

which i feel like places me on the "higher" end of the economic spectrum, as it were, even though i don't *feel* very rich when players that can dump tens of thousands of gems into G1s without any real thought about it are still floating around the site ¯\_(?)_/¯
