You are a whale. How far have you gone to prove it?

The poll is anonymous so no one has to reveal anything. Everyone throws around the "whale" term, and I as curious what that really meant to people on here. (In advance this poll isn't meant for f2p which is why this was not an option)

Hm. Shows my views of the game I should have made the top end amounts much higher. Whoops. Thanks for bringing that up though. Sadly I don't think I can add poll options, only edit the description.
All good man. It is an expensive hobby for sure!
*Looks at personal bank account*
Cough.... yeah.... duh.... why wouldn't I have thought of spending that much....
Hahaha lol well tis a problem I'm past the 8k marker my self without noticing.
@Mofojokers1992
Lol no but in all seriousness I'd add more options if I could but you can only edit the little description, not add or edit the poll options.
That and I don't want to spam the forums adding a whole new poll. So for now... Itll have to do pig.
Fair enough lol but if your talking Whales I'd start from $2,000. As anyone under is a dolphin and anyone under $100 is a shrimp lol.
Fun names people have for them lol...
@Nightlores
Lol the generic what computation is *4, so weekly.
Agreed. If you aren't above 1500 you aren't in the realm of whale status.

@Alecation lolz true. Used to eat out every day on my last job. I just looked at it as an "expense of doing business".
@Ashishin
Yes this poll has radically altered what I thought a whale was. My apologies on not having high enough poll numbers.
it doesnt matter. but people like to read what bill gates his net worth is nontheless.
It is interesting to wonder if people can afford this or if it is simply done due to addiction. In my knowledge of fellow whales it seems 75% can afford it and are affluent.
To those in their teens and 20s who look at $1000 on a mobile game and think wth?? Work hard. Study hard. Get the best education you can. And then you can afford this craziness. People waste money on lots of things. I have channeled my entertainment budget away from other things. Don't perseverate.
If you can't afford it then don't. I sincerely hope there aren't too many people out there missing meals and having trouble paying rent due to this game addiction but there probably are. And I doubt the execs are too sad about it.
I submit Dat Rex as evidence.
Im 5k+ in and feel cheap compared to many of my guildmates...
I fully agree. 20k, 25k and 30+k should be added in. Beyond that would be pretty unimaginable. However for those who have minimum 40 toons maxed level and geared would have spent at least 20k and above.
@ChaosDoom
Have you spent or has anyone spent more than 30,000? That's a very modest yearly income for a young person lol
I will never feel bad losing in arena to someone who has spent a sum anywhere near this.
Don't forget leviathan or jormund elver
