I would of never thought so either, trust me. Its just somehow I guess Ive managed to vend well. I get beat al the time, but i end up managing to get stuff. I wasnt very rich, but then zomg rings. back when those werent soulbound I made millions off of them. It helped me get this NM scarf. Vending was slow and normal from there, I eventually work my way up to millions, but ya, slow and blah. Then I did awesome off the g-bois when I started vending those. SO many misprices and deals I made like 7 mil in a month and got the OMG and then slowly worked my way gradually up to golden laurels and ya. I certainly had to vend a lot to get to whatever I was at like 15-20 mil, but then vendign and taking advantage off of awesome opportunites made my worth balloon liek crazy. These RIGs are beyond awesome for gold. So like ya, in my first 2 years on gaia I was worth about 600k. vend another yea r yea r and a half and was up to 15-20 mil and this past year alone its all shot up. SO ya ^^;
