Making plat

[Kelor]

Mentioning no names, a friend got 50 million plat put in his trade window, as the trader was trying to move.

How the heck does someone make that much? I mean, I can understand a few million, but that's crazy.

probably a guild bank if it really was 50mill

some ways off the top of my head..
selling highly sought after items that no longer drop.
selling items from raids
selling accounts when it was allowed.
trading red to blue when it was allowed.
farming day in and day out.
playing back when there was bugs/exploits
Offering services such as power leveling over an extended period of time.
Flipping high value items in EC over a ridiculous amount of time.
Having friends in high places.
Playing for the past 7+ years.

At 3,000pp/hr, you'd have had to PL for 8 hours per day for the entire life of the server to make 50 million. Lol [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Trading high-end items for a long time (including stuff like fungus staff and whatnot, not just cloaks of flames and fungi tunics) and being involved in account and red-blue trading back when those things were permitted is probably the only way a single player could legitimately have made that much plat.

Hagglebaron's escrow services to ensure a safe passing of accounts between seller and buyer. That's where it was at. Free plat for 2 minutes work [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You can make 3k/hr solo, but duoing is where the real money is at. Duoing something like the demon fangs cycle can net like 35k plat in about 2 hours. Duoing brother qwinn/zephyl takes roughly 30 minutes and you can sell that robe MQ for a pretty decent price (10k maybe?). A lot of people have duoed fungi king for plat as well which can be very profitable. Getting a king every 6 hours isn't too unreasonable which would net you about 10k/hr back when tunics sold for 60-70k. I think you can duo a lot of the cleric epic with relative ease as well. Obviously you'd have to split the money but people who duo together often pooling their money isn't unheard of.

If you consider that duoing can be much more efficient than soloing, plus some smart investments(elder beads bought at 20k when they still dropped would net 80k-100k profit per), its not entirely unreasonable for a single person to generate 50 mil plat over the life of the server. This doesn't even consider red->blue plat and account sales. It requires a grotesque amount of play time, and can be made easier by selling certain raid items and keeping all the profit (barb skin legs for 800k, AoNs for 300k, etc), but is certainly feasible.
