Default Why do people farm so much plat

Then go and spend like 80k on a mana stone when they could space out the money and accomplish 10 times more. In my mind its like going to a bar and buying the most expensive bottle of champagne they have to get drunk when I could go to the liquor store before hand , get a four loko or 2 for 3 dollars and be hammered . I guess it all stems back to how rich people act in real life, blowing tons of cash in retarded ways..... just because they can.

But what if they want a manastone?

20 or 30 modrods != manastone

People have been playing this game the last two years 24/7. After you level a couple characters to 50 what else is there to accomplish but farm tons of plat? Its like a guy with a good job who makes 150k a year... He is a cheap bastard who keeps all his money and drives a 93 chevy la baron or a baller who drives a 2010 escalade on 24s. In all what does it matter to you cause he doesnt pay your bills here or in real life.

The guy with a good job who makes 150k a year is a rapper?

The 'getting drunk' analogy is weak. That's like asking, why spend $50 on a nice steak dinner when you could get full off a cup-o-ramen?

I just really want to know how the OP is weighing the accomplishment of buying a manastone against this other, mysterious amount of accomplishment he would reach with the 80k spent over a period of time.

Play the EC market for months and then have 800k and buy 10 manastones?
