Nope. Just get Enemies Abound 3 of 5 on 2 agents in one station and don't kill the last 3 frigates in the last room. When server resets you can do it again. That's 100 million ISK a day just in tags from 2 instances, with at least another 50 million in salvage.
And there's another Lvl 4 agent 2 jumps away from my home system so I can have 3 instances running at once until the quest times out and I complete it (so as not to lose standing).

the idea of rich is subjective, i have been playing EvE since 2007, and i have never had a networth above 3 billion and have never had more than 1.5 billion isk liquid. some people would call me poor and a **** poor player, but i rate rich as having enough isk to do what i want and have fun doing it. if i can have fun on 500 million then i'm rich, if i have 5 billion and am not having fun then i'm not rich enough.

I chose a station that has 2 Lvl 4 Agents. So you just take all the missions from each agent until they both give you Enemies Abound and work through to 3 of 5. Then don't complete them. I think the time out is 5 or 6 days or something like that, so you can do the mission once on each agent every 24 hrs.

My net worth is 120B or so and I get called poor on a regular basis. I'd say rich and poor varies by what you do in EVE, and how long you have been playing. Note that the figures below are purely my own creation and are for just "rich" rather that "ultra rich".
Nullsec alliance people: Titan ownership is the "rich" threshold. Wormholers: 100bil net worth Highsec in general: 20bil liquid Jita: 500bil net worth
On the other hand, we can use stats from EVEBoard to make a more scientifically accurate study. Tracking 1,862.82 billion SP and 61.83 trillion ISK in 51,440 pilots!
When we cut out people in EVE who don't really matter or are probably alts ( <10M SP) we get 37,000 pilots.
61.83T/37K = about 2bil per pilot on average. That's just liquid ISK though.
EDIT: I seem to remember there actually being a graph out there that shows average liquid ISK against SP. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&find=unread&t=143535 |

It's all relative.
If you have 5 or 10 billion liquid ISK, but all you do is hang around in a Battlecruiser with friends, buying the occasional shiny toy which ends up collecting dust in a hangar, then you are rich.
If you have 10 billions and your goal is to sit in a Nyx until it explodes...then you are poor and a long way from your goal.
All in all I found that, while never making much Isk, I never needed much either, so my meager sources of income are more than enough to pay for the ships I lose. And the ships I fancy.
As I would have no issues purchasing and losing multiple pimped T3s or Command ships or Carriers or whatever, I expect I'm pretty well off, but the truth is that the fun I extract from my gaming sessions seem to be completely unrelated to the shiny toys I decide to undock.
A humble Hurricane seems to be enough most days. |

I'm rich enough that I can give away nice ships to new players, usually 1 Billion worth a month. This weekend I bought a guy I just met a CNR, well just because I can... When you give a Hulk, Drake, Raven, etc people are generally thankful... |

Perhaps I could I interest you in some A-grade gratitude?
For the meager price of a Hulk, Drake or Raven, I could be as generally thankful as you could ever desire! Feast on the adoration eve-mails I could be sending you.
Dude, make good use of your Isk. Give away to REAL thankers. Give to Darius Brinn.

That's a pretty meaningless definition. For all we know you make 1.5 bil a month and the spare 500mil is spent on a PLEX. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&find=unread&t=143535 |

Sigh, another liar trying a stealth "nerf missions" ploy. 500 million a night, let's be generous and say 5 hours/ session.
Sorry, no one makes 100M / hour running missions, even including LP. But nice try, thanks for playing.

You can also look at it this way. Of the 51438 players on Eveboard,1116 players has hit the 1bil mark. Thats only 2,17%
If you (and I know you can't do it this way so hold the bashing) put that into Eve in generel, and lets say there's 745.000 active characters in eve, that will translate into 16200 characters having over 1bill isk. Don't know it that is many or not.

Here is the thing about ISK, there comes a point where you get so much that it out grows your play style. Sure you got 200bil in ISK but if your just flying around in faction / t2 fit BC's what does that count for?
Point is unless your looking in to capital ships, running a corp / alliance, or large scale industry / trade what use is that 200bil?
If your just doing pvp in T2 fit cruisers and frigs and that is fun and how you spend all your time, then having a constant 2-5bil in liquid ISK is rolling in the dough.
TL;DR Rich is relative to your game activity imo. |

A corpmate of mine said last night, in response to a question asked by another corpmate "Nah, I'm not gonna buy that right now. Im broke. I just bought a new dread and I'm down to 8 Bill"
I personally rarely see a bill ISK because I spend it. I dont rat my face off for hours on end with a carrier supporting a tengu, so I don't rake in Billions in bounty prizes. I know guy that do this as a sole means of income and are way way way more rich than myself.
I dont really like ratting, unless I'm in a group, probably because I have yet to train into Caldari T3 cruisers, and a Proteus isnt the best for ratting. (but for some reason, I dont mind staring at asteroids.... im weird).
I struggle to get by on about 750M at a time, My wallet usually fluctuates between 200-750M. This is because I don't stay liquid. I usually immediately invest in some sort of asset, such as ships or equipment. I purchase much more than I need, on purpose.
Some people stock pile ISK for when they need it. I stockpile ships and modules to use as I need them. I have a ton of sub caps and enough fittings to fit probably 20 more ships. If I were to liquify my assets, I would probably triple my wallet. Maybe quadruple.
Its all relative.

I split the areas of gameplay into categories and then assess it that way. The numbers change from time to time and is by no means the be-all-end-all of calculations, but in looking at the majority, it's fair to say a "rich" pilot who spends 100% of his time in highsec follows a different metric than a "rich" pilot who lives in c5 wormholes.
If someone told me they earned 5bil quarterly in highsec running missions and other carebear stuff, I'd chalk that up as being rich.
But if a factional warfare grinder told me they were making 5bil quarterly, I would not be nearly as impressed. |

On the other hand, I am so poor, homeless people give me their spare ISK.
Being a casual player due to not having much real life time to invest, to follow career paths in the game that CCP later nerfed does wonders to the pocketbook. Fortunately I am able to derive some fun factors out of being meager and scraping by and do not need the fancy stuff to play. |

I wouldn't call eveboard all that representative - after all most people only use it when they want to sell a character and these characters wallets are typically empty. And as someone mentioned before, it leaves out isk stored in assets or currently bound in the market. You know... morons. |

The problem is that while I can make literally as much isk as I want very easily, I get very lazy after I make about 30bil. As long as I can afford endless Talos's I'm good. |
