Kaotyke Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) I'm one of those players who swore not to buy plat again even if I got the 75% off (as such, I got it 1-2 times a week as a Login Reward) and instead get it through Trading. Now, my objective was to stay above 200p when I started to do this, after that I got to 400+ and got unerved when I got closer to 400, then I got to 1000p and didnt want my reserves to go bellow that and so forth. This kind of hoarding attitude has started to bug me to the point where I wonder if my relutance of buying the Prisma Bundle and even Slots is normal and if there are other players going through the same reluctance of using Plat, even though we didnt have to open our wallets to get it. edit: typos Edited July 18, 2015 by Kao-Snake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Alisier Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I have the opposite dilemna. I buy platinum and then I'm not sure where it ends up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega224 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I have the same problem i maintain around 1000 platinum through trading and im usually reluctant to spend it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)T_ravenis Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I hoarded when I first started, IDK when it changed exactly but I buy all sorts of silly stuff with platinum now. My noggle collection is pretty epic :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)KiloCrusher Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I just hope you guys understand that console players don't get to have the dilemma of whether we should buy platinum if we get % off login rewards. Because the sad and frustrating fact is, we can't and it bugs me. I personally thank the tyrants: Microsoft and Sony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsychedelicSnake Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I'd hoard plat through trading, but I'm an antisocial freak and in order to do that I'd have to interact with other people. Which I hate. I'd be rich otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PainisDeWitt Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I save money/Plat when a new frame comes out OR I need slots. And I don't like going below 200 as well. I feel you :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to leverage plat sitting on your account without spending it is to post screenshots of your stockpile to grow your epeen, which most people frown upon. Generally I find 100-200 in reserve to be enough. It's enough that I can buy slots on the spot when I need them, or maybe a limited time item when it comes out. But not so much that most of it just rusts in my inventory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)EvilFlowerChild Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I have the opposite issue, as soon as i have plat i spend it on silly stuff :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kz.Prime Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I have the same dilemma... Life was so simple back in the days when i had 0 plat. I did not look at it so much, it didnt concern me when i had 0. Didnt bother me. But once i step in it....gg... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velsva Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 By holding on to your plat you might actually be making DE more money. Since there will be less plat circulating on the market, someone somewhere will cave in and purchase plat they need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleHawkz25 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 You sir you are just like meI never buy any platinum from DE, i got it from tadesMy first objective was reaching 1k plat, after that i got this dilemma and never let my plat below 1k. And now i have 4,3k platinum and i dont feel like spending them, i dont want my platinum drop below 4k :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat_Jam Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I used to buy 75 plat packs 2 years ago (when I had at least 50% off), then I started trading and hoarding... I'm up to 4K+ plat and I was unneasy to spend 50 on the arrow bundle lmao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiabolicalHamSandwich Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Not really a plat thing...more like a currency thing in general. But yes...I have suffered through this many times in many ways shape and forms. Not so much about not wanting to spend as not wanting to go below my set limit I am now accustomed to. I usually end up doing it anyway since hording only brings so much happy as spending it on something fun (but regretful later) brings more joy...until you hit 0 then the tears flow hard~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerdfer Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Haha I feel you, I'm doing the exact same thing :) Before trading was implemented I bought like 200p with the 75% discount. Only for weapons-warframe slots and I was good to go for almost a year. Even when trading got implemented, I was relunctant to sell the things I stockpiled :D Then I sold a couple of maxed mods and prime set and i have now 1500p that I am almost never spending :p I bought a syndana and a liset skin (before the void trader came with his prisma liset skin, damn) a few weeks ago, something I sworn never to do when I started the game xD But when i think about it, you can't really enjoy plat, as a number, you are better off spending it, at least you can enjoy your hard earned cosmetics.

(PSN)KiloCrusher Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Can we really not, because I remember getting 50% off last week and buying some platinum with it for the 50% off that same week. No, consoles can't get % offs because of issues with Sony and Microsoft. Are you sure you weren't having a dream? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
