sounds like dedicated raffle machine, that cost plex to set up raffles.
article is not perfectly clear on what is the cost of participation in raffle (isk? plex stuff? unclear)
nothing close to what posters before me seems to be freaking about, but from the name I was hoping for something cooler…
it really isn’t lootboxes, you know what you get here so it’s a raffle.
This almost makes me proud to have stopped playing EVE. 
Isk if bought from market, rl money if bought from NE store.
Surprise Mechanics inno
yeah but that’s for cores needed to set up the raffle
but they didn’t specifiy currency needed to buy hypernet node, which is your raffle ticket in it’s essence.
The process begins by buying HyperCores from the New Eden Store or from the regional market,
This is the real problem here. why cant it be just isk
reading with comprehension 101:
and the amount required is based on the total value of what the player wants to offer on the HyperNet Relay.
cutting sentences in half always help I suppose.
(aka, cores are for setting up a raffle)
buuut I’ve looked at the screenshots provided and on stage of defining price and amount of nodes they list isk prices only so I guess you enter with isk.
HyperNOPE
By the way…
Items such as unique ships, Officer modules and more will now be able to move through the economy more often
No, it won’t. Here’s why:
THOSE THINGS ARE LIMITED BY SUPPLY.
Nobody is sitting there going ‘Gosh, I wish my Etana would sell. But it’s been sitting there languishing on the Market for months.’
Unique ships? Officer mods? They’re moving exactly as fast as the people who own them put them up for sale. If they weren’t, the price would come down. So no, making them freaking raffle-able isn’t going to make them more frequently traded. Honestly, how the hell do you guys not understand the basic principles of a damned economy? How do you manage to get this crap so freaking wrong?
Fix your stupidity please, it’s annoying. Since you miswrote “didn’t specified” I assumed you miswrote “hypernet node” instead of “hypernet core” and gave you a quick answer.
Because it’s pretty obvious that you can purchase the tickets with isk.
Niraia’s Eve Online Hold Em, had the best jiggleboobphysics imo.
Played since '08, don’t recall raffles being widely requested. Casino games yes, raffles specifically not so much. Meh, must of missed that one.
Even if it’s just isk, you can by isk via plex anyway. So what’s the difference? If people want to spend RL money on this stuff, there’s a legal way to do it. Has been for years.
I am not sure why people are reeeeeing here. The is essentially a raffle system in-game. It provides folks with a different way to sell high-end and sought after items. I don’t see how any of this is really bad.
It’s not loot boxes, and it’s not RNG for an undisclosed item.
Folks need to chill and think about this more.
Because CCP did something ! So they can’t reeee because CCP did nothing anymore !!
you know i agree with you but with the hypercores being bought from the nes-store solely it will push up plex prices on the market. How far? … i dont know.
(edit: changed hypernodes to hypercores)

good night sweet prince
Well what do you know? CCP are now putting in literal gambling platforms, in a day and age when that has been rather well established as the fuckery it is. I don’t even care about the dev time spent or how hilarious it is that you don’t understand your own damn in-game economy, but you’re actually going to push a gambling platform that can be funded through real money with very few conversion jumps along the way. Unbloodybelievable.
You guys already lost my subs with your indifference, greed and refusal to fix things that are blatantly breaking Eve. This? This makes you loathsome as a developer. Flat out heinous. Christ on a stick, I can’t even find the words for what a crap thing this is.
