have you ever spent 5-10 dollars on an online game and felt really guilty because it's real money essentially being spent on a bunch of code?
me right now.
but as quarantine comes to an end and i've finally been able to cash my emergency cheques from the government, i realized that i have... so much power.
i am a big dumb university student who is completely addicted to flightrising, and willing to spend 5 bucks on a lair expansion.
my dream item also happens to be a gilded crown.
how much does a gilded crown currently cost, you may ask?
LAH as of today is 148kg. 148 000 000 treasure.
in USD: roughly $1.3k. $1286.96 to be exact.
i live in canada, so it would be $1747.87
slightly less than one semester of my university tuition.
however... i want a gilded crown.
so what am i going to do?
i'm going to earn what i can. and by that i mean i'm saving up $1.5k to buy a kickstarter item because i have no self control.
has anyone here... approached a situation like this before?
just, tossin' your money at a kickstarter item?
edit; i'll be real with y'all, i'm not actually doing this lmao
i'd rather spend a thousand bucks taking care of my turtle than buying a virtual crown

I've earned all my gems in game. I was calculating the other day the dollar worth of my stuff and it's shocking lol

... I think a better plan for your future would be trying to earn the gems ingame D:
Like, I don't hate FR but you could buy an entire ps5 and stuff a game library for that kind of money.

SCB honest to god, i wish i could earn gems like that. i'm just so impatient and i'm constantly on gifting threads so the moment i hit 450 gems or something, they're all gone haha

there's lots of ways you can earn gems in game and convert treasure for gems, so you don't actually have to literally spend $1.5k lol
also.. a semester of tuition is under $2,000 in canada?? cries in american

[s]this is why i plan on moving anywhere other than america if i were to go to college[/s]
you can have that $1.5k worth of gems in game though! i find that selling all of my unneeded apparel really helped me get a lot of funds! granted, you might have to repeat that until the end of time. some familiars (gw 2020 addition fams, forbidden portal fams, etc.) go for a fair bit on the auction house as well!
