Following on from the other thread about the richest people in eve, I just wondered what people's end game was.
For instance I atm have a total NAV of 100B (or just under). Personally I would like to get this up to 1.5T, so I have enough isk to spunk away on l33t pvp ships and still have a hefty enough NAV that I can invest it up again quite quickly if I spend too much.
What are YOU aiming for as your end game?

To begin with, I will get to 100 bil. Then trillions - there's no reason to stop until I get bored of trading, which is unlikely to happen.
Also, there is about 500 trillion isk in the EVE economy, so even a trillion isk NAV is no big deal now. |

I hover around 10 bil. It's more than enough for me to keep playing with plex and pvp. Pvp is my current end game. I tend to lose interest in making isk once I'm near 10 bil so I rarely have more nor have plans to have more. |

Hmm, I don't know. My NAV is about 25 bill and I'm finally starting to come up with projects to get rid of it :). PRetty good considering it was slightly over 4 bill when murblybux first launched.
My end game is enjoying the game. So is my early and middle game, though. Isk isn't necessarily tied to that but its a pretty good enabler of it, I suppose.
At the moment I suppose my objective is liquidating stock to create the liquidity to pay back my trusty investors and wind down my excellent bond before moving on with further projects.

more is more
and less is less
more is better then less
and twice as much is good too
too little is bad
and too much is never enough
except when it's just about right
Does that sum it up for you?

For some reason taken off other MMOs, I build what I use and fly. My NAV will probably stop growing when all I want to fly is mine in the form of BPOs. |

What i love about this game is its immense complexity. I guess i have enough isk when i can afford to fly an officer fitted Marauder/Pirate/navy battleship into lowsec say 'Tama' lowsec, & have a tussle with the locals, without a care in the world when i lose it & make some lowsec guys day/week/month. At the end of the day tho Isk comes & goes, my end game is playing Eve & having alot of fun doing it  |

Like Akita said in the bragthread  , loads and loads of isk opens up whole other possibilities such as large scale manipulation and pre-patch speculation. Also personally i find it fun to think more about the macro-aspects of the game such as inflation and long-term investment and ROI. |

Quantifying "enough"... it's however much is required to have fun at the time...so if I need "x" billions to play with T3 salvage or run multiple POS reactor chains, then that's "enough".
I get my kicks by seeing the profit roll in on any given project, not by how much my NAV is at any given moment.
YMMV

Edited by: Akita T on 07/04/2011 11:37:17It's NEVER enough  Even when it's "more than you can handle or know what to do with", it's STILL not enough. I suppose "all the ISK in the game" might be enough, but then again, "they" keep making new ones all the time.  P.S. Although, I guess, the motivation to make additional funds gets lower and lower the more you have, so even if it's never quite enough, it can become "almost enough" very soon. |

As others have said, there is never enough.
However I don't really think of it as greed as such, it isn't for the love of ISK it's self, but about being the biggest dog on the block.

I found that once I broke my personal "never need to make isk again" number, not only did I get super lazy about investing, I also became much more conservative. I no longer needed to increase my holdings, just make sure I didn't lose it all by being ******ed. I still made some isk on some ridiculously obvious money makers like robotics, but other than that I've mostly just let my isk sit idle tbh. |

my end game is pretty simple
1 Earn enough isk to purchase a hulk BPO
2 Buy hulk BPO
3 Speak to chribba (or any other serious 3rd party)
4 Contract BPO to them
5 Ask them to undock with bpo in a n00b ship in quiet system (or known only to me and him)
6 Gank while frapsing
7 repeat from step 5 until bpo destroyed
8 Log off eve and never return
Thats pretty much it, at the moment im about 40% of my way to making this happen, i dont trade i still enjoy the game but have lost too much isk pew pewing and other obscure activities..
But thats my end game, i have set a target of summer 2012 for this to happen, so not too bad about 75bill over next 15months (or 5bill a month profit at slow move)

Actually I find that I envy you. You have a goal which is something that I lack. Probably explains my apathy towards Eve these days. |

That my friend is a worthy goal indeed. I have to say good luck to you finding someone as trusted as Chribba and who wants to show up in EVE history as the guy who undocked with a Hulk BPO only to get ganked.. If that day comes, and you are unable to find such a person, I say here now that I will login with my EBANK SencneS character, and do exactly what you want. I can't think of a better way to finally close out that character then to have this be marked and have a fraps of the event.  |

I like this plan, should you require assistance, you can have my bow. Now only will you do your part to remove evil from this world (if CCP hasn't already by then) but t would actually probably put you fairly high in your pvp stats. A great plan all around! |

Due to real-life time and energy constraints, the Eve market is about the only game I can play besides little 5 minute time-killers (solitaire, etc). I was able to do administrative stuff for a nullsec corp and alliance, but I found the "returns" in terms of enjoyment a little low, and nullsec organizations are already plagued with a superabundance of backseat bureaucrats who couldn't move a fleet across three systems without getting it obliterated.
I would like enough money that I can get the same sense of escapism through administrative type work (the RP element, though I'm definitely not the wizard robe type, but you know what I mean), but through some kind of financial organization that allows me to interact with big players and influence the strategic and political landscapes.
I currently have a little under 100b, which is the most I have time to "work" for reasonable returns, even with my absurdly low time-input style of speculation. I'd want at least another 200b before I felt comfortable enough financially to look at starting a loan business, and then maybe up to about 1.5t or so before I really felt that I had enough to satisfy the needs of all potential clients in every possible situation of need.
Long story short, 1.5t-2t. |

For me its never been about total Isk score. I dont play to count my wallet, but for the enjoyment of the transaction, the deal, the interaction with other over an investment, starting a project and seeing it finish.
In my own odd way its the interactions from dealing with isk that i enjoy not so much the pool of wealth i might gain.
If i start to set goals on isk, ill lose my fun.

Similar to others, I have no set goal in ISK. For that, 'whatever I need to fit my current routine' works. Enjoying what I'm doing is what's mattered more.
I don't know my exact NAV atm, but its at least 1 Bil (which is already ahead of quite a number of people).
