The Daily Grind: Collector or pack rat?

Let's face it - when it comes to MMOs, some of us are a bit pack-ratty. From little things like keeping the strange and interesting things you find in mission wreckage in EVE Online, or overflowing bags in World of Warcraft, to having entire sets of furniture for player housing in games like EverQuest II, Lord of the Rings Online, or Runes of Magic, we really seem to like having lots of stuff. Well, at least most of us do - there are a handful who manage to keep their bags nearly empty. Personally, I haven't mastered that art, as I love fun MMO shinies.

Then there are those we'd call collectors, who actively seek out things for a very specific purpose. Collectors range pretty broadly, we find. Sometimes, it's for projects like Stargrace's insatiable desire to compile the player-written books on Antonia Bayle in EverQuest II. Other times it can be something as weird as trying to collect 100,000 corpses to prove your love to someone. We've also heard of gardens, open houses to show off limited edition goodies, and pet collectors. This morning we thought we'd ask - are you a collector, who is going after some very specific things? What do you plan to use them for once you have them? Or are you just a bit pack-ratty, with hangars full of indiscriminate stuff that you never sell off, or bags ready to burst with the random tidbits you've picked up gaming? And hey - if you're the type to clean your bags, tell us how you resist those MMO shinies, eh?
