When I realized I could give billions to new players who, at least showed some actual hope of sticking around. ISK not wasted since I made soooo much just by being active and hoping they could do the same. ---

When I started spending ISK on stuff I didn’t need or really want, just to watch it burn in space. I think that was around November 2023. Roughly 5 to 6 months after I started playing this game. I recently decommissioned my astrahus and gave it away. No one wanted to explode it obviously. I am almost certain the new owners will put it to better use. Have fun! ---

I agree with that. Wallet size is a poor mans perspective on wealth. Asset value is what matters most. Collecting ISK in a wallet is not only a waste of your time and money, ISK is also one of the very worst methods to hold value due mostly to inflation. ---

I don’t think anyone is specifically stating ISK as a measure of wealth (but everything one owns is of course generally valued in ISK). ---

Don’t go getting all chummy with new pilots as they don’t know how to spend their isk and will just try to upgrade into a ship class that isn’t the best ship for them to undock and your isk won’t help them sticking around. ---

> [@Megazor](#): > > Simple question,but also very complicated If it’s simple then it isn’t complicated. When did I realize I was truly rich in game? I always realized I was truely rich in any game since game currencies are based on nothing but game time and are worth 1/1000 of any real currency. The real currency of any game is time. The more time you can spend the richer you are. ---

Back then when I realized that I can easily afford to risk and lose 9 months worth of PLEX. 😏 😊 > [@MB\_ThePhotographer](#): > > give billions to new players Hope you give it divided among them instead of billions per person because I personally witnessed newbros wasting big portions of the ISK gifted to them on overpriced stuff because they were too lazy to make the trip to a trade hub with better price and other such nonsense because they didn’t care anymore. 🤔 This is why I prefer to give away lower quantities along with actual ships instead as then less chance for the gift to go to waste. 😉 > [@Chad\_Frostpacker](#): > > see It’s true. That’s why I give away stuff as I don’t personally spend it. 😉 Speaking of `wordsalad`s… When I realized all the ISK the Frostpacker sent me over the years didn’t make a difference to my wealth. 🧐 😇 ---
