Join the Hyporium channel where the offers are least regulated by the most dominant hypernet players in game. Some are over priced, yes. But just do better. Its easy right? If you are curious about the reality of running a business with Hypernet included, just ask and we will share the reality.

The biggest misconception about HyperNet is that local spam gets to define what Hypernet is and thats simply the worse there is and doesnt represent hypernet as a whole. The second most misunderstood thing is why so many people buy half the nodes. In reality, if you have a high value item and you dont buy at least half, the offer will expire because buyers simply arent interested in waiting 3 days to see if they won. You will lose your cores and go out of business let alone cripple your sales if you try otherwise.
On a typical 50/50 the operating cost if twice that of not buying half but its not really a choice. So this cost is pushed to the customer. Think of it like this. If i can flip a coin, on one side I lose 1b and on the other side I can gain 1.5b… what do you do? The answer is that you flip that coin as many times as you can until the end of time.

Hyperspam is a waste of money.
Just buy the item directly.

You could do that. Hypernet offers more than simply an item. It also adds some fun and comradery between others. Most players do not participate in hypernet because they simply want to own the item. Hypernet offers much more than a simple transaction and thats exactly why so many people enjoy it. Comparing it to the retail market is like comparing apples and oranges. It also allows the big boys to actively support our favorite new guys to the market buy participating in their offers. Its a more personal experience and gives buyers and sellers much more control. On the opposite end, it also allows you to sell your wares and not babysit 250 orders playing the undercut game. It also allows guys deep in null to remotely sell items they won in Jita or Amarr while not even leaving their home systems.
The general idea of Hypenet was very good and the majority of players enjoy it. But I do want to point out to CCP the worse part about it. Gambling addiction. A very small percent of players are spending a few thousand dollars a month buying plex to keep up with their gambling addiction in game. This is the sad reality of a very small amount of players. I know a few of them personally. Its a small amount of people but it wouldnt be right to not mention it.

If they are wealthy irl they have the money to spend seems like how they deal w life, if they are stealing and robbi g to support their addiction then its a different matter imo. Great post

Yet, people call you a troll here? 
I think the trolls are the people spamming chat channels, continuously annoying other players with hypernet spam. If you want to argue otherwise, I’m sure reasonable people can discern who has a financial motivation here.

Hypernet is best for people with IRL gambling addiction problems who can pump up their ISK by purchasing PLEX while CCP Games has no qualms about running an unregulated casino that preys upon people with mental health problems.

Some of you are using the outliers and smallest groups to define the majority. I get you are trying to make a point but making wild assumptions and extrapolations makes you… a fibber lol
Also, the fact that myself and others are making isk on the Hypernet is proof that we are meeting the needs of what players want and enjoy.
Do I deny that CCP is making thousands of dollars a month from gambling addictions? No… I have spoke to some of them myself and I hope CCP will do something about it. But you dont have to use a hammer to open a peanut and we dont have to lose another feature simply because a small percent cant control themselves. Hell, with that logic we need to shut down the game because all of us play too much lol
The lure of something for nothing is too strong for the average GREEDY little BEAR to resist.

You’re good at math and have a vested interest in Hypernet so it’s no surprise you try to minimize the problem by playing clever statistics. Sure it is “small percent of people” but they are the “largest percent of ISK being bought for Hypernet”. See the definition of: whales.
A statistic weighted on number of people is not equivalent to a statistic weighted by the ISK they buy.
I could say the same of you.
I am friends with most of them right now. I speak to them on comms and not a single one of us have a gambling problem. Its just business. We know the ones who try to keep up but fail because they cant sustain swiping the credit card and those few have the addiction issue. The “whales” are not doing anything but running a successful business. The short-term guys swipe that visa until they run out and disappear. Those persons are the ones we need to worry about. The idea that a person can sustain long term “whale” status when he isnt running a proper business is a delusion perpetuated by people who simply dont know better. This isnt a me against you thing… Id simply like to get the facts clear. Fact = The most successful hypernet tycoons spend zero irl dollars in eve. We all plex mulitple accounts using isk we made in game. Our businesses make money and we are not running a deficit repaired by Visa. The general public thinks many things that are not true and contradictory to success.
I’m not talking about the ones running the hypernets. Nice try though.

Try? I dont understand what you are implying tbh. The largest percentage of ISK is not the few guys who have addiction issues.
Hypernet heroes!
Made a load of isk before enough people figured out it was stacked for the house.

Hypernet would’ve been an even better game mechanic if the game supported the capacity for going after players to collect debts. That way we could shark-loan people money at ridiculous rates, and then come “break their kneecaps” when they don’t pay back their debts. But since players can for the most part opt out of PvP, that’s not really possible.
