I am not what I would called a “collector.” In MMOs or really anywhere else. Or I guess I should be more specific and say that my goal is not to collect the most of everything or the all of everything. I don’t gotta catch ’em all. Minipets, mounts, I just don’t have the urge to load up on a bunch of things I feel no connection to, and no amount of video game achievement psychology has been able to change that. (Sorry, game devs.)
But. I do like my resources. Maybe that’s not really a collection, but I kinda think that when you have 223 distinct types of resources stockpiled in your house, some of them stacked into the millions, it counts. I love knowing I can make whatever I want at the drop of a hat. That’s way more comforting to me than having 223 mounts, only one of which I actually use. But hey, I’m weird, and obviously way more people love minipets and mounts else games wouldn’t go nuts with the sparkleponies.
What’s your biggest collection in an MMORPG?
