How many of you make 1B+ a day?

How many of you make 1B+ a day?

If so, how much?

Then... have you lost interest in making more ?

1 Billion a day?

I've been playing steady for nearly 7 years and still haven't reached half that. Across all my toons...

Most I could scrape together between all 138 toons would be about 430 million.

I don't play my 50's though.

Eh, I've made about 3 billion in one day, but that was mainly due to PvP IOs selling to insane amounts. I'll say on average (even counting days i don't log in) I average about 200 mil a day across all my toons.

Before i log off, i craft basically all my recipes i can, and list them at 75% the going price. That way when i log that character back on, i've made atlest some money, as having 20+ character i rotate around, it adds up pretty fast.

I haven't quite lost interest in making money, as there is always a means to spend it on (everytime I load up my mains character build in mids I find improvements, which cost me inf...) So, until there is nothing to spend all my inf on, I won't lose interest in making it.

Yeah, I think I can make over a billion a week... but in a day, that's a lot to make in one day.

Estimated marketeering income is 500m to 1bn a day.

I can probably push it to 1bn/day if I really wanted, but then it would start becoming like work. I'd rather play casually and make a little less.

I'm way too lazy to make that much money. I average about a billion a week. Considering that I don't get to play as much as I used to, that's more than enough to be able to afford the expensive builds that I want to make. It definitely doesn't make me want to stop playing the markets, because there's always something to spend it on. I don't play the markets for the sake of playing the markets. It's just a means to an end for me.

~2-4bil a week (depending on luck with SHO drops).

Nowhere close to losing interest; I've still shaved of costs on some of my toons due to lack of money. My SD tank, blaster and fender are still on 3-5bil builds instead of the 8-11bil builds I have in mind for them.

I can see your point though; at this rate, my toons really will have every single thing they could ever use; even secondary builds in a few months will be pimped out - so I can see losing interest then, but it won't be for a while.

The way I look at it, I need about, 11toons x 2 builds x 15bil/build = 495bil to really be done. At even 1 bil a day, that's close to a year and a half - at the rate I play, 3 years

And as for whether I'm losing interest:

1. Current goal is to purple out a Night Widow based on TopDoc's build on this forum. This required 5 pieces each of all four damage sets, so 20 very expensive purple IOs. My Widow is currently level 35 and I've just finished buying the Hectacomb set, at an average price of nearly 400 million per piece, so I probably spent 2 billion this week, with another 5-6 billion yet to spend...

2. Future goal after the Widow is to drop a billion or two on each of my SG bases on Virtue, Freedom, Victory, Justice, Infinity... probably that'll be it. I'm also tempted to build up a base, maybe the one I have on Freedom, then create a brand new base and sell the old one off. Just because. ^_^ Anyway, that's a potential 5+ billion that I'd like to spend at some point.

So no, I'm not bored yet, I have a lot of money to raise for my projects still!

How Much:
Typically I make about 1.5 billion per night, but it has gone as high as 5 billion in one night.

Lost Interest:
Not really, but lately I have slowed down a bit because my schedule doesn't allow for me to play CoX as much and I gain inf faster than I can spend it.

Not me. 1bn a week sounds about right, maybe a bit less. It's kind of hard to judge profit since almost everything I play in starts with something I want to slot, so buy 5 to slot 2 then resell the other three usually gets me break even-ish.

most ive made in a day was 500mill discounting days on purple drops

depending on how much i want to farm, sometimes i get lazy and bored and so make less each week :P

I've had a couple times where I made a billion in a day, and at one point I actually made about 3 billion over a weekend, but those cases all involved stockpiling over the week and selling a ton of goods all at once. So those days I was stockpiling, I wasn't earning. I don't think that really counts.

Last year I did a lot of marketeering and averaged 200-400 million per night, until a Double XP Weekend happened; during that weekend I got over 2 billion each day. After that, I kind didn't know what to do with the influence and I stopped; I gave away most of it, and right now I only have about 5 billion on my characters. I might get involved with it again once i20 goes live, but once you know the market "tricks", it does become a bit boring.

I'm one of those who's making about "a billion a week" not counting any unusual HO/Purple/PvP IO sells. Much of what I've earned goes into buying other Purple/PvP IOs I need for builds, but with I20 coming up I'm going to make sure I stockpile a bit more to pay for all the Incarnate costs.

Can't really say I'm bored with it because I only spend about 10 minutes a day on it. Like others have said if I got any more serious about it it would start being like "work" and I don't really want to focus on it all that much.

I think i spend more then 10min a day, over 6 alts...

The curiousity is killing me, .... i wonder if that toon sold anything....
Sometime im almost happy it did not sold anything, that mean i dont have to bit for more, or craft anything.

When i do have sold some stuff, im all happy, but feel compeled to to buy more to flip or craft. If i do all 6 alts, it's sometime more then 10min... time fly ... 20/30min later i realize im finnaly done.

Damn you market, you are killing my precious game time, :P

I've done it once, possibly more. When I was first scraping myself up to my first billion, I would spend a lot of time on marketing, but not anymore. If I have the inf I need I mostly sit. I try to make a hobby of thinking I have a niche and it not paying for crap.

Losing interest:
Hell, I still need money. Even if I hated it I'd do it. My build I'm making now is maxxing FCEN (or ENFC if you prefer) and that's cheap. Probably no marketing until April or something. Though I absolutely can't get below 1b in liquid assets at any time. Just not a good thing.
