$100 ($60 for guardian and $40 for bags/respec/misc HAMSTER).
This is gonna be my limit until I see more content. Gauntlgrym patch is gonna be a make or break for me. If I don't like what I see then it's sayonara.
I turned $20 into Zen, $5 of which I spent on two more character slots, another $10 on keys. I'm idly considering dropping the remaining $5 on a mount, might look into some bag or bank space instead. I'll probably buy another two character slots once the Ranger is released.
I don't spend money on games that say they're in beta testing but want to charge people to use the ingame store instead of providing currency for purchases to TEST the store like we're supposed to be TESTING the rest of the game.
Because if I had spent money, then have to read about all the exploits making people rich in game and selling their AD to farmers...I would nerdrage.
I will never spend a dime on this game. I like it because of the combat system and simple quickbar. But the game is rife with bugs, holes, exploiting, level WAY too fast, lack of content on the horizon (which is bad because you can hit cap in about 2 days), etc.
Once I hit cap I'll move on to the next F2P game to check out.

Pretty much this. The game is great for $0 but even spending $10 would be insane. It's just not worth any money to me at all.
None yet and don't plan on spending a dime unless they lower the costs and fix the game. I used to laugh when people complained about the celestial steed being $25 and then they charge $40 for a pro mount in this game, love it. It's still Beta so obviously I don't expect everything to be fixed yet and be worth spending money on. I'll keep my money going to Planetside 2.

$150. I don't regret it for a second. Best MMO I have ever played and I've played a lot.

I skipped the founders packs but purchased $125 worth of zen to get some of the things I wanted such as bags and epic mount.

Yeah I got all kinds of crazy problems when trying to buy founders today. First it said a high credit line card was declined, then I tried again like a fool, and now it says that credit card can't be used for this payment.
$40. Some character slots, a $5 mount for them, a bag, and some keys.
Like with STO, everything zen from now on will be from converted AD. (I've gotten some more character slots, and some profession stuff. Might grab some dye next, or save up for a fast mount.)
Realize now, in hindsight, that the $60 founder pack would actually have been a good deal - fast mount, companion (that's for everyone, right), good chunk of AD, another character slot, plus all the other fluff. Not going to do it now, though.
As for "is it worth it"? Eh, it's given me plenty of hours of entertainment so far. Certainly more than I got from spending $60 on Ni No Kuni.
If the game had a sub I'd probably sub as long as my toons could make bags and I had 6 character slots, but I will not spend a dime on this game otherwise, hey craptic if you really wanted to fleece your customers, bring it down to 1 character slot and no bags. I have no problem rewarding the developers if they do a good job, they would deserve it, but outright overpriced goods and greed is another.
I look at it this way if your game is good you don't need to charge a ton of money, people will play/pay for it, if your game is bad, you hope for the minimum sub and fleece your existing customers to keep the game running, which is this??
I have had fun here, but not because of anything craptic has done, foundry was a great idea. Needs more pvp maps and needs an open world pvp server. Professions are worthless, they could make this into a really great game, but this is the first craptic game I have played, hence given the name craptic, I see why none of their MMO's have been successful. To bad this title wasn't passed onto a good company.
You also don't need 5 forms of currency, just another way to get people to buy stuff and dangle it in front of them, despicable.
Also DnD is a universe, literally. A game like this shouldn't be conformed to hubs (gw, original DDO so forth) this game you should roam from section to section, not be transported, should be able to build and buy inns along the way, player housing, player guilds, should be able to make it feel like DnD, right now it's just bits and pieces.
I have spent 60 on founders 2-50.00 dollar zen and 1-30 dollar zen and got 2 toons geared well with the diamonds and was working on the 3rd toon to 60 when I got banned for no apparent reason. I was not involved in any of the exploits that made the news and this is day 5 with no word why or anything from them except from the auto response to my e-mail. Honestly I love the game but I am about a week from getting my bank to get my money back. And I hate to have to act that way but there is a serious lack of communication due to all the problems they have had
I generally prefer a subscription model, so I'm comfortable giving a company 15-20 dollars a month for a game I enjoy. I've had fun with this game so far, so i bought $20 in zen. I unlocked 2 character slots and bought a 10 pack of keys. I have a little zen left over and if I end up enjoying the game another month, I'll probably buy another 10-20 dollars in zen and get a bag or something.
I like keeping myself to a monthly limit, so if I decide to stop playing the game, I don't feel like I've wasted a bunch of money. Most of the cash shop prices are so high, I may eventually just stop paying, though.
20€ on Zen, bought 4 character slots (2 used, 2 waiting for new races/classes), not going to spend anymore in a foreseeable future unless they get lot more content in and make the pricing more palatable.
0$ not that I am against spending money, it's that I have a very limited entertainment budget atm and I am waiting for the "official" live release.
EDIT: Also the zen shop prices are pretty darn high. Higher then any other F2P, that may very well limit my spending even more. Just don't feel like you get the bang for your buck.
Not a penny. I have more important things to spend money on (Child, food, bills, ect.) Neverwinter is great, but for now, I just can't afford to put real money into it. The whole reason I'm able to play is because it's F2P.
I spent 10$ to buy 1000 zen when I was new in the game. Then I reached the end game and realized that 360k AD=1000zen=a joke to make in game. I just sell HAMSTER and I'm making at least 300k per day. This ,along with the fact that Cryptic has the worse customer support of all time, is enough for me to not even consider spending more about this game.

The cheaper founders pack ($60) for the extra character slot and other sundry bits that seemed a good idea at the time, but nothing since and unlikely to pay anything till I see how the game looks, plays and behaves at 'proper' release...
I haven't spent anything, yet. If Cryptic/PWE wants to insist that this game is still in open beta, then I'll insist on not spending any money on the game until it is ready for a full and complete launch.

Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
Not a dime, but then again, I don't intend to login again any time soon unless things change drastically regarding the cash shop. High prices aside, the advantage that can be purchased makes PvP something you can effectively completely ignore unless you're a whale willing to drop $160 on enchants. It's a shame, because the foundry and the core of the game are otherwise great, but while I have no problem dropping cash here and there to support devs I can respect, I can't say I respect a group that is constantly using marketing and tricks to bilk people into thinking they're getting a "deal" with this HAMSTER, and allow that kind of imbalance to happen with PvP due to the shop.
I'm generally curious how much people have spent this early on into the OB release.
Me personally I've spent $60 on a founders pack.
What have YOU spent?
Why do YOU need to know? I'm genuinely curious?? It does not matter how much I spent or you spent. What should matter am I still playing the game.. and the answer is yes. I enjoy it and I will continue to have fun playing it for a time to come and come back at later times to play further once again. Once I tire of another game.

hope you didnt buy diablo 3, simcity 2013 or any other HAMSTER like that xD
Occam's Razor makes the cutting clean.
Thankfully.

But it's fun for now :P

In June, I plan on sinking 18.99 EUR as well.
I like the game, it has potential, it offered me hours of fun. Why not repay the developers?

Then you haven't seen a lot of f2p games. This one seems about middle to me (a bit high on some items, but not crazy high)

Good luck!
