Introducing the HyperNet Relay

Take your gambling microtransactionbullshit and go fuckyourselves, CCP.

[Wavemistress_Moidel]

Re-subbed second acc way to go CCP. Piqued my interest.

[Ahari_Chent-Shi]

Can I quote this for prosperity 6 months down the line?

[Brisc_Rubal]

They should have done an in-game casino a long time ago. That it’s taken this long to get a raffle system is nuts. The amount of money the casino guys were bringing in was insane.

[Walkop_Broker]

TO BE CLEAR.

PURCHASING ITEMS DOES NOT REQUIRE PLEX. This is ISK only.

SELLING items requires PLEX, according to what we see in this post.

Big difference.

[Kaito_Okimura]

Can I quote you on this when it inevitably happens?

[Fraesia_Shihari]

You PERMABANNED the people involved with those sites, even when no RMT was involved.

CCP had to. It would look even worse if CCP would ban those guys right when CCP brings out their own raffle system.

[Brisc_Rubal]

Feel free. Trust me, if they decide to go down the loot box road, I will be first in line with pitchforks and torches.

[uhnboy_ghost]

think ccp feeling brexit is coming soon™ and saying "f**k EU “gambling in games” laws

[Juvir]

You need the item to get in the raffle too. It comes from the NES. Sure, you can put it up on the market for sale, but it starts in the NES.

[Wavemistress_Moidel]

I would use A casino run by CCP a few 100 mill here and there, would be cool knowing it would be run right.

[Erikkaa_Ja]

Sounds vaguely similar to a raffles lottery being run in discord run by some gal.

[Walkop_Broker]

I’ve been there, where lootboxes KILLED games. This is not lootboxes. Not even close.

Robocraft was one of the best modular fighting games out there. One of the most popular games on Steam. “Epic Loot” killed the entire thing in under a year.

I hate lootboxes.

This is not lootboxes.

@Brisc_Rubal

It’s just another item you can buy and convert into isk from the NES, like plex, skill extractors, skins or the like. Shouldn’t have a huge impact.

Ok, Brisc? Dude? I want you to just stop for a moment and consider what you just said.

Skill extractors didn’t have a huge impact? Mass SP-farms didn’t have a huge impact? Really? ‘Be in a new supercarrier instantly on your next botting alt’ didn’t have a huge impact?

This is bad, man. This is bad for all the reasons online gambling can go horribly bad, coupled with levels of ‘it’s a video game, I just have my kid’s subscription on my card’, and the sheer hypocrisy of ‘It was bad when Somer did it, but now we’re the ones getting your money, so it’s good’.

@Walkop_Broker

Definitely encourages valuable items to switch hands more often.

No, it doesn’t. Because the people who have this stuff have it for a reason. It will not make them change hands more often. It will only make it more profitable when they do, with a whole lot of people paying to not get them.

[Smertyukovitch]

@Kendarr

start selling cat ears, tails and boob enlargers,

I would buy all of these for my toonies.

I won’t lie, i did that in other games, but in EVE i won’t. Aesthetics and all that.

[Kendarr]

but boobies?

[Brisc_Rubal]

Exactly. Folks need to stop knee jerking every new thing these guys try to sell as the next step towards turning EVE into Battlefront.

[Arrendis]

Why do you have boobies on your butt? Are they Pitts’?

[Ahari_Chent-Shi]

Make a female toon, stream on twitch, and sell pod goo for Plex. $$$$$$

[Walkop_Broker]

No, that’s not true - as far as I understand this, a HyperNode is a part of the sale. A share, basically. You set your item raffled out, the number of HyperNodes for sale, and the ISK cost of each. Then people buy a share using ISK.
