I can go from 1mill to 1Bill in a a day or 2 and thats not from selling any assets i have right now. How can you base wealth on what you have?
I dont particularly worry when my wallet hits under a mill. Gives me a challenge when i cant afford ammo ;) - Nulla Curas |

Very simple OP,
Count up how many tech moons a person owns, that will tell you how rich they are. |

So with this... I would go from being super rich to being middle class overnight. Eve is about Capital ships, WiS, Boobs, PI and Isk! |

Umm, derp? Only true if the majority of EVE pilots are lower class peasants in a feudal society... but are they?
Only in Amarr. There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency. |

Those stats are just for wallet ISK rather than including assets as well. |

Interesting, though a little old.
I've never looked up stats, just from people I talked to over the years I have always said the average guy has 400 mill. I actually project that to be higher now.
I have around 8 billion liquid right now. My assets could be sold and that would sit around 50 billion and most of my assets are in demand assets so I could sell them to buyers for that much. I'm not uber rich but again, just talking I am above the wealth of most I talk to. |

Excellent point. But Amarr has a lot of peasants. Seriously. There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency. |

Further point: those stats are per CHARACTER, not per player. |

I would point out that costs are based on PER CHARACTER, and not PER PLAYER. Just because you own both characters doesn't mean you get a buy-1-get-1 on assets...

If I had 1 billion on my alt, and 1 billion on my main, I'd have 2 billion. It doesn't matter what I spend it on. There are literally millions of characters with 5000 isk and 56000 SP out there, should they be counted too? |

What are you talking about, that's not what I posted!
But really, what does sp have to do with anything? There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency. |

class is measured by the need to work, not wealth
if you are the sort of person scrounging a living from doing work you are lower class regardless of how much of a living you have scrounged |

So by your standards pretty much everyone who pays by sub rather than PLEX and only flies T1 ships - is the aristocracy? |

Would y'all say that's accurate?
no?
Rich is relative to your personal opinion, one person might define rich as 30 bil, another 300 bil, does not mean either is right or wrong.... This of course means your metric is only meaningful or useful to you....

Richness is measured by how much you can give to the others rather than how much you have yourself. And it's not even about isk only. 14 |

Would y'all say that's accurate? So if have 1.000.000 M i'm poor, 1.000 B i'm middle class and 1 T i'm rich?
I see what you did there.

There was a time about a year ago when there wasn't a single ship I could fly that I couldn't replace 10 times over. I felt very rich.
Then I trained capitals and the illusion was gone :(
"Richness" is just a mind state. A noob given 20 million isk by some generous player typically feels very rich. I was once that noob and I had a great time blowing it all on crap-fit frigates :) |

"Rich" is when you have more than enough isk to do what you want to do in the game. Any other definition is pointless. |
