ADDENDUM:
<100 million ISK: New players, or lazy players who hate to "grind". Compulsive PvPers/pirates who don't have a carebearing alt to fund their addiction. They fly "pay-check to pay-check".
100 million - 1 billion ISK: The rank-and-file of 0.0 alliances or a carebear who has only been playing for a few months. Generally has an emergency level 4 mission running battleship in empire that they can always fall back on. Alternates between carebearing and PvP.
1 billion - 100 billion ISK: Veteran carebears, casual traders/industrialist, market aware PvPer. Veteran carebears in this category are stuck here. They are risk averse and compulsive savers. Because they generally run missions, they will probably never cross the 100 billion ISK barrier. Casual traders/industrialists stay in this category simply because they do not want to work hard. Successful traders/industrialists will inevitably pass this category.
100 billion - 1 trillion ISK: Traders, industrial tycoons( and small alliance leaders?). Players in this category didn't earn this much money on their own merit. Instead they profit off of the laziness and foolishness of others. Traders and industrial tycoons in this category have "done their homework". However, only the most successful traders and industrialists will surpass this level, as it becomes difficult to efficiently invest this much ISK.
1+ trillion ISK: Veteran trader/industrial tycoons. Players in this category have enjoyed success in their market/industrial activities for many years. Has managed to avoid money to investment scams, and has found market activities which scale well with their income. A few ultra-successful scammers may also be in this category, but most scammers won't be able to maintain this much money unless they are/become market savvy. You also might include large alliances (perhaps their leaders if they are corrupt) in this category thanks to owning many tech moons - though I imagine that a fair bit of moon goo ISK is pumped back into the alliance membership via ship replacement programs. |
