@Nana_Skalski children don’t play this game, they are far too busy killing each other in Call of Duty and buying NFTs on Counter Strike. Face the facts, there is no one here below the age of 50.
A typical Hypernet offer link will take you to a ship you can buy up to 8 nodes (raffle tickets) for about one third the cost of the ship in the market. This encourages people to buy up to 2 tickets. Win or lose, the winner is always the person you bought the ticket from. The house always wins.
That’s exactly what a scammer would say.
Yes, but it will be through Hypernet.

I disdain your spelling of the word disdain. Also 1 tril sounds like something hyperking or aish naari would play on their horn. Nice blow.
That’s exactly what a scammer would say
Not a scam. It’s a raffle system in which the raffle organiser can buy some tickets to their own item. Since mechanics are crystal clear and you have all the information beforehand, it’s not a scam. Of course if you buy a 1 billion ticket in a raffle for a Covetor, that’s on you. You’ve not been scammed. You’d played yourself.
There you go brother, I edited to the post to help you see the point… and I cant coverup the fact that you are one of the people creating the justified hatred and I support your freedom to do so and applaud you good sir.
That’s exactly what a ganker would say!
Anything that gets spammed in Local is the very definition of a scam.
I won my first Hypernet by clicking on the one showed to me in Jita Local
The HyperNet interface for buyers to see and compare prices is what CCP can fix. Local spam is 95% scams and they have to use spam to sell that junk because they cant compete for price. The reason people dont see the price is total chit? The browse interface is not used because its terrible… it also broken in the create window since day 1 btw.
From wikipedia:
A [scam or] confidence trick is an attempt to defraud a person or group after first gaining their trust. Confidence tricks exploit victims using their credulity, naïveté, compassion, vanity, confidence, irresponsibility, and greed.
A casino exploits their victim’s lack of statistical knowledge (credulity, naïveté) and greed to extract money. So does hypernet.
In Eve, I’m quite okay with that to be honest… ISK is not real money, and the game is all about being ruthless to each other. So scam as much as you want to… just don’t spam chats that are completely unrelated to trade, that’s just rude!
I played alot and lost it all.
But I didnt get scammed.
I bought 1 ticket to each drawing hoping to win.
You got scammed.
You are what PT Barnum called a “sucker”.
Would you like to buy a mining permit?
No, no and no.
I totally agree, Hypernet is not a scam. It is a game for people who are bad at math.
You had lots of fun play tho correct?
it’s not a scam, You can profit from it. But it’s a game for fools.
Fixed it for you.
Contact your local Safety Offcer if you’re having trouble paying for your Mining Permit and are worried about what to do.
Contact the EVE Federal Trade Commission (EFTC) at 1-887-FTC-HELP (1-887-382-4357) or use the Online Complaint Assistant to report various types of fraud , including counterfeit checks, lottery or sweepstakes scams, and more.
Nahhh
It’s a scam if the percentage of the nodes that you buy costs way more than that same percentage of whatever is on offer. If you have a 1/10 chance of winning something but to play costs 2/10 of the price of the object, then you are basically being ripped off. Of course, you might win the object…but a situation where your stake is excessively more than your odds is more likely to waste your money and make someone else rich. Gambling is a mug’s game at the best of times…and the hypernet is not the best of times.
