Mynnna has her head in the right place
OPERATIVE PHRASE
Quote: I have a lot of fun with it all, at least.
That is the point of a Game.
It is a sandbox and people have different things they enjoy.
Some of them scale in ways that are still enjoyable and some less so.
It is a sandbox and well ... some people play for Kill mails
yet not every kill mail hunter feels like station or gate camping in Amarr or jita waiting for someone to turn flashy, or war deccing for the same purpose or camping a null sec entry gate....
AND, many do enjoy that sort of Kill mail harvesting in moderation... to "make quota" in their own minds... "crap, haven't shot anything tonight.. may as well camp the gate to try to tag something before i go to bed (RL)

I imagine Mynnna has enjoyed big things like understanding the broad economy and making huge bets on expansion changes... might even like spread sheets which enable efficiency in industry that others don't enjoy.
....effiiency is a joy to some and a bane to others like me..
But I love low turn over stuff but get a kick out of selling items for 2 or 5 times jita regularly in high sec... finding niches where those will move regulary -- for whatever perverted reason it makes me happy to log in and see it, just as when playing a PvP character, I'll campt a gate now and then, but don't try to max my kills... just get a little spring in my step from tagging a few a night while bullshi ng with friends in corp. My method and interest level is unlikely to ever get me into the Trillions, yet I have fun and have the miniscule fortune of a few hundred billion.. minuscule by trader standars.

IF you like trading things that scale and you play the game for 5 years and keep deploying it, you'll have way more than controlling a large alliance and raiding its coffers.
That being said..
 Sommer Blink must have been absolutely rolling in ISK EVEN without any RMT that efficient lotto system was just (and is?) pumping out isk faster than trade schemes could do.. I mean , if you were making 10% on every pot and only 100 out of the 100k real consistent players bought a plex or used their incursion isk to wager 600 million in combined pots a night
100 x 600 million x .10 = 6 billion a day
6 billion x 365 = 2.1 Trillion a Year
I'd guess that for months at peak popularity there were maybe 500 of 100k players (that is only 1 out of 200 players) wagering 600 million a night (10 60 million auctions? .. that is just a casual player) that would be 30 billion a day ! and, I wouldn't be surprised if even 500 was a low estimate.. and it could have been 2 or three times that...
I wouldn't be surprised if Sommer was earning at a 10 trillion plus annual rate at the peak of its popularity and the RMT wasn't needed to drive that at all.
