On average how much do you deposit in a month in USD? DO NOT ANSWER IN POST UNLESS U WANT ALL TO KNOW! Only vote in poll.

I don't see a poll
 
Some of us have a significant holding in deeds and play off the dividends. Just FYI. Do you consider that a deposit or are you only interested in cash ones?
 
I have this situation as well...what I would recommend is...

...add up all deposits that you have made and divide by number of months you have 'played'...or just give a general idea of what you feel like you deposit or have historically deposited over time on a monthly basis...

My average depo works out to around $5 / month... no option for 0-10 though.
 
Non-depositor from start ;)

Sometimes I do not deposit for a couple of months, twice I exceeded the monthly depo limit, but if I divide total sum by total months, it would be about 150$/month.
 
Ffs...

Pick a close enough value...exactitude is not the goal...just shoot!!!

Vote! :laugh:

The posts are good though I appreciate everyones honesty!

Falagor that is an awesome feat...I used to be there but threw in the towel when I saw what I could do with CLD...tell me why a nondepositor would sell his CLD tho unless it was simply a buy low sell high rebuy low sell high move...i dont understand?

^This.

You can make a lot more than 4-5 PED / week using the 1400-1500 PED it'd take to buy a CLD.
 
When I'm actively playing, probs more than $1k a month. Often I'll drop $100 in a night hunting or so... I don't really get very good returns hehe.
 
I understand...

...that...but it also requires a lot more work to do that...CLD is free and I can make it even if I leave the country for a month and cant play...and its 'protected' from being blown on decay or items...plus I am limited by 30 items on auction...or it would require a significant more time investment to sell out of auction...

40% nondepo so far...pretty high...for every 5 that nondepo...there is 1 deposits more than $1k a month...i like it...big gz to those guys! and everyone who keeps game running!

i wonder how many of those 40% have activity on entropialife or are many of them just forum warriors, or possibly auction hawks. :)

Or have depo'd in past but have recently either stopped or become profitable enough to do so.

Quite a few I imagine, to start out completely non-depo is pretty rough, very time consuming. I tried it... didn't last, I'd rather work an hour for minimum wage and depo than sweat for an hour to get 10-20 cents, lol.
 
Exactly...

...there is very little you can do in this game that is fiscally efficient usage of time...EXCEPT buy CLD...I hope I never have to eat those words...

I did deposit a bit in the last year due to some investment opportunities, but since I started playing many, many years ago I always have been a non-depositor.
 
So sick of the people that don't play for shit going on about being a non-depositor. You're not "awesome" and you're not better than anyone else. I posit that depositors are 10x more important, and are better people with better lives.

Do you brag about going to a casino and just sitting in the free buffet? Yeah you probably do. Or maybe you do gamble a little, and when you lose, you still lie and tell your friends that you won. You know the type of head-case I am talking about, right?

Go stand in twins some more and do nothing except come on the forum and talk about this game.

In fact I bet every one of you depo'ed at some point. Those that did depo, even once, and claim to be a non-depositor, are sick, or weak, or insecure. (Not futurama, at least he admits it)

Seriously...are you that insecure that you have to mention it every fucking thread???

Can we have a section of the forum for people who actually play and depo? And aren't pure whiney nobodies who do nothing?

Most of you are liars...you have depo'ed in the past, and you just want to look smart so you come on here spewing flaming horseshit. And now I am going to bust you out on the forum and to MA, for lying.

Neg rep the shit out of me if you are a non-depositor who feels you need to brag about how clever you are. That way I will know who you are and I can ignore anything you ever say ever from here on out.

I voted over 1k. I provide you with your pussy returns. I am the awesome one. And so are the others that do it, and that came before me. We are your God's...and all you non-depositors better wake up.

In fact, I depo'ed 3k last month. UNTIL EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU APOLOGIZES FOR BRAGGING, I AM DONE DEPOSITING!!!!!! I promise you that I am doing this. MA just lost 30k peds a month (the monthly salary of one of its probably 6 employees...you think they wont notice?) HEY, MA, IT'S THE BRAGGING, LYING, NON-DEPOSITORS FAULT. Let's see your returns now.


If you think I am kidding, I am not. My word is fucking stone. I will prove it to you in 1 month. I will send this to MA and have my depo ability locked. And I will let them know why.

You guys finally just pissed me off once and for all.

Edit: And to all the REAL non-depositors, who never once felt the need to brag on here, or the new avatars struggling to sweat and skill until you learn enough about the game, this is NOT directed at you.

Lolololol ++++REP this man please. I wouldn't go as far as to call them "headcases", just insecure children. Not pointing any fingers of course, but we all know these types of people are out there. When I was 15 I used to think I was better than everyone for not having depo'd. It's just your ego playing tricks on you. People will do anything to feel a sense of superiority.

I think the majority of us can all agree that non depo are no better than depo. To each his own. Some people like the challenge of playing the game without depo. Many find that to be a waste of time. No reason to judge either side.
 
OK....

...no neg rep here...but I was at one time, in my baby years, a nondepositor and the tack I took on being a nondepositor was the same tack I take on chipping skills...it was the challenge of doing it(and the hesitancy to deposit into something I was just getting familiar with)...I have the IRL funds to play with prolly all but the top 1% of the people in the game so funds is not the problem but I tend to be principled when it comes to being original or virgin or clean or whatever you wanna call it...I rationalized the loss of my depositing virginity through the payouts that CLD would provide me and the REAL idea that I was now a part 'owner' in the system with a vested interest...and I could get to a point with the amount of funds many had put in before me, with 'nothing' to show for it, where my payouts would preclude further deposits...I havent reached that point but IM about halfway there...I dont think a lot of nondepositors are the 'go to the casino and brag about just sitting at the free buffet-types' any more than they are deposit a $1000 and then have nothing types...it is MAs responsibility to bring those players who are nondepo into the fold as payers...

Now...with Sunsout edit on his original post...awaiting his uber item drop...:laugh:

Brick
 
I use to put in $50 a month, lasted about 3 weeks.

Went up to $150, lasted a day or two. (I hunted the same just more often)

So now i don't deposit, that lasts forever
 
Additionally....

....I can respect someone who plays at a high level and doesnt deposit...I would prefer they deposit but I can respect someone who does it on the cheap...just like I can respect the poorest kid in my small town grade school class...came from a white trash family...putting himself through college and making something of himself with no help from anyone...theres a certain respect that is deserved there maybe not as much but some...if I couldnt lose every penny in here and not give a care(or maybe only a little care)...then I wouldnt deposit it...doesnt mean I wanna give it away to the nondepositors but thats why I play the way I do...I have certain strategies when I wanna play eco and then no strategy when I couldnt care less...and for people like Jennifer I hope there comes a day when depositing comes on the radar again and I hope that all of you can deposit and enjoy the game...so that my loot will come from your pocket :laugh:

Lmao. Well there is one very important distinction you forgot to make.

Is he not depositing because he does not actually have the IRL funds? Or is he not depositing so he can feel superior to everyone? That's what makes the difference for me. The former would have my respect as well. I used to know a middle school kid (14 years old I think) who played this game and could not deposit, and he made it much farther than I thought he would. Much respect for him. However I don't think this is the case with most grown working adults.
 
Not very many players....

...play at a high level and have NEVER deposited...

...and on that note...who in here is the highest cycling nondepositor on EL? Anyone wanna guesstimate or point a finger or fess up?:laugh:

ZPF is exactly right. I see what brick is saying, and I want to make this clear...I have no problem with non-depositors. If you enjoy the game, and can survive without depo'ing, I respect that.

But if the 14 year old kid talked about how great he was everyday because he put himself through college, I would immediately lose all respect, and in fact would have an eternal 200% Hatred Skill Bonus on him for life.

It's not the act I abhor. It's the smug attitude some of them get because they think they are great for "out-witting" a bunch of fucking video-game junkies. Wow. If that's the criteria people use to determine ones status, then imagine what they do in real life when they out-wit someone who isn't running around killing stuff in a RCE because they enjoy the thrill and will spend money on it.

All they are doing is bragging about making 10 ped a week, in a game where most players don't care about losing 100 ped a week. It's not like it's hard to be a non-depositor. Most of us just have better things to do.
