All achievements in the game which means you've delved into every content on that character (pvp,pve) Id also say skillpoints maxed out but morrowind *** that up with making it impossible to get a skillpoint if your character was created after morrowind

Achievements have nothing to do with your character though except for the fact they all start with a blank slate, not to mention the vast majority of them can't even really be called achievements and are simply the equivalent of participation trophies.

Exactly, shows you did everything and put yourself out there to experience everything the game has to offer

When i can pull 40k on it

When I have 130 to 150 Skill Points. Then I can do things with them.

For what I consider my first line characters, or "mains" the requirements are quite stringent:

When it comes to levels and skills:
- level 50 all racial passives filled
- all Class skill lines at 50, every skill morphed and trained to rank IV, every passive filled
- all useful Weapon lines at 50, every skill morphed and trained to rank IV, every passive filled
- all 3 Armor lines leveled to 50, the main one fully filled, and all passives that don't require 5 pieces filled as well
- all 6 Crafting lines leveled to 50, and the main passive, as well as Alchemy:Medicinal use and the refinement ones filled; optionally the research (if they haven't fully researched) and quality ones as well if I have skill points
- Fighters Guild and Mages Guild at 10, some passives filled, some of the skills morphed to rank IV depending if it's stamina of magicka.
- Assault and Support at 10, every passive filled, some of the skills morphed and trained to rank IV, depending if it's stamina of magicka.
- Undaunted at 10, every passive filled, some of the skills morphed and trained to rank IV
- Ledgermain to at least 16, so I can fill the sneak cost reduction passive, I slowly let it level to 20 then
- Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood to 12, just in case
- CP filled according to the designated role

When it comes to gear:
- a PvP setup, always damage orientated, but also with high in build sustain (1.5-1.8K recovery in main resource)
- a generic PvE DD setup, made up of trial gear - VO for stamina/IA for magicka - plus an appropriate crafted or dropped set -
Hunding's Rage or Briarheart for Stamina, Law of Julianos for Magicka - and either a full or 1/2 monster set with a Maelstrom weapon - back bar
- for stamina characters at least a group support PvE DD setup featuring one or multiple of the following: Night Mother's Gaze, Sunderflame, Morag Tong, War Machine
- for stamina characters at least a tanking setup, using various sets, not all of them considered META, but allowing at least veteran DLC dungeon tanking; the Stamina DK has multiple setup for veteran trials, with full group support
- for magicka characters at least a healing setup containing Spellpower Cure set; the Magicka Templar has various other sets and special weapons ready for veteran trials, with full group support
- all gear is fully upgraded, and in the case of jewelry, available at the highest quality readily available (not chasing Cyrodiiil vendor for years)


For the second line ones line ones, or "alts" have pretty relaxed ones, since I don't plan to play them for now:
- level 50, no racial passives filled
- all 3 Class skill lines at 50, every skill morphed and trained to rank IV, but only the essential ones unlocked
- all Weapon skill lines at 50, every skill morphed and trained to rank IV, but only the essential ones unlocked
- at least the main Armor line at 50, no passives filled, with the rest not much far behind since I use mixed weight gear leveling
- all 6 Crafting lines leveled to 50, and the main passive filled so they can do daily writs - takes up the bulk of their skill points
- Fighters Guild at 10 - quite easy grinding Maelstrom and dolmens - and only the ultimate unlocked for stamina characters
- a generic PvE DD setup, made up of trial gear - VO for stamina/IA for magicka - plus an appropriate dropped set - with only the jewels and weapons available at the highest quality, with the body armor only upgraded to purple
- CP filled in a way that makes them sufficiently effective to explore and gain skill points once I decide to activate them

Well I decided to limit myself to 5 characters for now, and improve gameplay quality, instead of churning away more. It's mind numbing to re-do the same quests and locations on yet more, and I will take a long break from that process. I have much more gear in storage that I'm currently using, but I will do an analysis about what sets & slots to keep. The quality aspect consists in improving single target DPS on all mains by practicing on target dummy as well as real enemies, the knowledge of their support roles, as well as specific dungeon and trial mechanics. For example now I'm progressing healer through trial contend I've done as tank and/or melee DD. I've just completed vAA, vHRC & vSO HM and I will try vMoL in a couple of days. I'm not satisfied limiting my progression to a single class, but I want to do the whole spectrum or roles, across multiple classes. This way I'm not set back by any of the changes occurring in the game. It's counterproductive to get overly attached of one character & role in a game with so many radical changes occurring in a short time span.

They’re complete/finished when I get bored with them.

Never.

I'll say "never" as well. There's always something new.

NEEEEEEVEER!

when the build i create on the character performs the way i designed it to

It's an MMO, so I should hope the proper answer is "never".

No, not really.
If someone has sufficient time to invest in the game, it is possible to do everything that can be done, acquire everything that could be acquired, and develop said character in a way that permits everything realistically possible (excluding niche min/max configurations), regardless of whether its an "MMO" or not.

To never be done with your character deliberately, is to not be a completionist.
I'd argue a significant fraction of the players could most likely fall into that category.

Yes, yes really.

The question asked *me* when *I* considered a character complete.

YMMV.

No such thing as a finished charecter
