Surely there's a point where you have nothing left to acquire. What did you do once you hit that point?

As another PSO addict who still plays, it is very, very unlikely you can ever acquire everything in that game. There's always more stuff to do.

As an example, probably the biggest "white whale" for completionists in that game is a full set of legitimately-obtained Section ID cards. For those not aware, when you generate a character in PSO, it is assigned one of 10 "Section IDs", which determines the drop rates for various items, including rare items. Some rares are exclusive to one of the IDs and can only be obtained by characters with that ID.

Amongst the rarest items in the game are the Section ID cards, all of which have incredibly low drop rates and some of which only drop off of very rare enemies. As an example, both the Greenil Card and the Redria card are 1 in 40330 drops that only drop off the Gran Sorcerer in the Spaceship, which is a mob that only spawns ~6 times per run (and a run will typically take about 45 minutes to an hour solo; less if you have a group). I have been hunting the Greenil card for literal decades and never got it to drop for me.

or some of the rare shit I found/collected in SWG

I loved collecting rarities in SWG. My pride and joy were:
-A bacta tank
-A complete Aurillian sculpture
-An Aurillian banner
-A bunch of stuff from the old Project Deadeye quests that were only available in the game's first months
-The Mark of the Hero
-A complete set of the anniversary paintings
-A Sith Altar (a quest item you could get off an almost impossible-to-access quest on Dathomir that required you to take down a Dark Jedi Knight that had ~300,000 health and 90% resistances to every damage type - barely anyone even knew that quest line existed, because you had to use an exploit to even access the quest giver after an early patch prevented you from talking to NPCs you couldn't see).
-One of the fastest starship engines on the server. I would race people from time to time and I only ever found one person with a faster ship.
