You’re mad over this, but it makes sense. It encourages item exchange. It also concentrates wealth, which isn’t good, as we just talked about wealth equality at Vegas, but I digress…
Normally, these mods would sell for say 100m ISK on the market.
Now, you can raffle the item off - with 1000 HyperLinks available, at 500,000ISK each.
You see what you did there? People will buy the links, at 500,000ISK each, to get a chance at the module. 10 links is 5m. 100 links is 50m. 1000 links, the whole raffle, is 500m. Definitely encourages valuable items to switch hands more often.
