There isn’t enough stuff in the Bazaar to make anyone a whale yet. And at this rate it’ll be years before anyone could really “whale”.

The handful of people who buy absolutely everything from the Bazaar have accumulated maybe tens of thousands of dollars to Funcom, combined. And there’s nothing to buy repeatedly, such as gachas or other lootboxes with random rewards.

Whales in other games tend to spend thousands, even tens of thousands, of dollars on in-game purchases per player. Conan Exiles whales are barely worth calling herrings in comparison.

Also, with no official player rankings, and “pay-to-win” elements limited to a small handful of poorly designed buyables, CE doesn’t even encourage whaling as much as more compatitive online games
