I'm addicted to XP pots and mana pots when TR'ing.  I also can't stand to use my epic tokens on hearts of wood.  I'm generally impatient.  I also have three VIP accounts in the family and two Premium accounts.  So, I typically we'd probably around $75 a month ($36 on the subs and maybe two $19.99 TP packs) on DDO. 

The spend is down though because I'm not TRing as much right now and I don't use XP pots for end game questing or ED farming, nor would I need hearts of wood or mana pots.  But the play time has dropped quite a bit since school started.   

Monthly sub cost. I have something like 17000 points right now, so if I don't renew it won't matter for a long long time. I probably will renew though.

I had a friend who was from England. She tried so hard to hide her accent and she did a great job. Until she got angry. It was awesome.

Since when is drunk an accent?

VIP for $10/mo. avg.  I buy $60 point bundles every couple on months, when there are bonus points, as the TR train chugs along.  Reminds me that I need a few more +5 lesser heart from the current sale. My XP pot addiction is waning.  SP pots are always stocked, just in case.  Spent lots on storage. 

Does anyone ever buy the crafting ings with TPs?  Seems ridiculous.

running two account. main account is VIP. support account Premium. bought basic edition MotU for both and time to time  i take advantage of double/triple point sales for my sub account. last i did was when epic LoB was end game so its like a year ago. i dont spend TP on consumables so my points are mainly for Lesser Respec token which is broken right now.

yea, btw guys if you are quitting keep this in mind - leftover TPs in DDO cannot be spent on LOTRO or other Turbine games.

It was easier for me to make the downgrade, since I bought quite a bit before settling on VIP. The pack bundle with the collector's edition really sealed the deal for me.

I started playing just a few days after U9 came out and I've spent 105$ since.  I don't even have MotU.

My bank account say : too much.

My will to play say : not enough.

Zero right now.  I haven't played DDO since Guild Wars 2 was released.  I played daily for over 2 years before this break.

From Sept 2011 until U14 I did 20 TRs (bought all my hearts with TP).  Bought the xpac. Bought +2 fate point tomes for 2 toons.  Bought a bunch of +3 tomes before U14 was announced.  I'm the typical customer Turbine wants.

But they've blown it.  DDO is completely uninteresting to me right now.  The xpac was good, but I farmed out max fate points on two toons already.  I have zero desire to TR until new PrEs are announced.  There's no gear in U15 I want to farm.  CitW sucks donkey balls (both the content and the rewards).

I may login for Mabar to upgrade my gear to L24. Most of it just sits in the bank though.

A very generous guildie mistakenly bought 5 of the full pre-order xpac's and gave me the 4 extra codes he didn't need, so neither hubby or I had to pay for that.  For some reason I was unable to use my code unless I went VIP though and I was too impatient to deal with Turbine's customer service to straighten it out so I dropped the $30 for 3 months sub. 

I've bought 2 of the $50 TP bundles when they've been on sale and 1 or 2 of the $20 ones.  Hubby has only bought the cheapest pack to get to premium.  All in all, we've spent less than $200 since the game went F2P. 
Hubby is a very casual player so doubtful he will spend any more money. 

I still have over 4k TP left on my account between the xpac and favor grinding through TR's.  I own every pack in game except the Druid's Deep one since I got that as VIP, and I own or have unlocked all classes/races.  There's really nothing for me to spend the TP on at this point short of the occasional rez cake (and even then, I had 11 toons when last birthday cake came out, and used all of them on rez cakes--plus 2 toons got a second cake, so I ended up with 52 cakes across my account--no need to be buying more for a long time) or flavor items like armor kits.

Unless another major xpac comes out, I probably won't be spending any money with Turbine for a good year or more.

Bought the x-pack. That will be the last that Turbine ever gets from me unless they get their shit together and make a game worth playing.

Here are my cash and TP expenditures: link
Does not include multiple purchases of the korthos vintage brandy thing for 5 TP.

It surprised me to learn that I earned over 5k TP via favor.
