The question didn't ask about getting rich though...it asked about getting 500k. There is a big difference between "rich" and having 500k on blue.

I know how snobby it sounds to say 500k isn't much money to most newer players...but really it isn't that much if you've been playing for years on a static server.

I mean, to me, 500k is considered to be "rich'

Not everyone has 500k+ sitting in their bank

Even as someone who plays on this server a lot and is somewhat dedicated would

not have 500k+ plat unless they got lucky on loot drops or something


500k+ plat takes dedication or being very lucky

Like I said, 500k sounds like a lot...but there is a big difference between the 500k crowd and the big hitters on the server. There are truly rich folks who make single trades worth 500k.

I'd guess that about 20% of the server has (or could easily liquidate droppable gear in EC) about 500k at their disposal. Top 20% is wealthy, but not rich imo...the 1% crowed is WAY wealthier than 500k.

It is all relative I guess.

How else do you expect to get rich? In real life, the main ways to get rich are to inherit a fortune, win the lottery, organized crime, or work an extremely high-paying job. If anyone could do it, everyone would be rich. Same goes for EQ.

Most lottery winners are bankrupt within five years.

You are extremely misinformed and spreading terrible information that sounds like every liberal idiot that thinks anyone who makes real money is evil or just lucky. These are certainly not the 'main ways' people get rich. You'll almost never 'get rich' working for someone, either. Those 'high-paying jobs' are very few and far in-between and the bachelor's degree college education you pay for for 20 years of your life most likely isn't going to get you there. Try starting/buying/flipping a business, real estate investing, long term portfolio investing, or creating a product people decide they can't live without. Those are the 'main ways' to get rich, as you say.

All of these involve having some non-trivial initial capital. Which you will probably need to work for "someone" to get.
