Introducing the HyperNet Relay

Are you guys really surprised? CCP has an Ex EA member of staff at the helm of decisions and Pearl Abyss. A Korean company known for micro transactions and shady decision making in BDO.

A very slippery slope now. Loot boxes not far into the future. CCP would rather implement this rubbish no one asked for than actually make the game worth logging into. (Sov is stagnant citadels are a joke)

People should vote with their feet and unsubscribe. Remember CCP greed is good.

Too be honest. Most devs in this game are the same lol

Like it really matters what anyone here thinks, CCP can see $ signs so will proceed regardless.

Totally agree - this is just wrong and I disagree with the game taking yet another step in the wrong direction.

@CCP Gambling is not a good idea, however this isn’t just about gambling but creating ways to get us to buy ships with real money and not isk as much. When I heard you were trying to take isk out of the game, the question was, what were they putting in its place? I knew then it was attempt to make p2w content again. Soon after you did it again and we got the “we sorry we didn’t run it by CSM first”. Then we got “Starter Packs” a great way to dig more money out of new players, now its this. 2011 riot didn’t solve anything, just postponed it. New players will have a large distrust for CCP when they get scammed playing this gambling mini game. The player base is done. 10-15 year old pilots are leaving. The pilots who made Eve, Eve started leaving back in 2011 and maybe I should went with them. However I gave CCP some rope, a lot of rope and you hung all of us with it. Greed has no limits. Hence greed. Greed will implode CCP. It’s inevitable. CCP, fix this now. You are on your own timer that you created for yourself.

just linking this once more:
https://massivelyop.com/2019/02/17/eve-evolved-eve-online-has-a-gambling-problem/
the interviewee burned 10k$ on PLEX so he can keep gambling on IWantISK
The initiator of a raffle also risks loosing the hyper cores he invested - obviously the prices will reflect the total cost plus risk so it’s a guaranteed loss for everyone participating, promoting harmful gambling behaviour even more.
Finally let me again point out that minors play EVE as well - PEGI rating is 12

Online gambling is a whole different thing than playing some Poker with friends. Regulations are overdue.

I had a feeling something bad is coming, he was talking way too much at tour panels about how special market in EvE is

It’s not Hilmar, it’s a feature that was desired since “games of chance were banned” a few years ago. This serves the population that was hit by that ban - the corp/alliance raffles.

How so? The biggest null alliances don’t get propper access to this since it’s restricted to NPC stations. Looks more like the prime focus is on public, anonymous gambling in Jita.

Cos no one in big alliances ever goes to Jita and none of them have JF services available? Right. :stuck_out_tongue:

Ou yeah lets implement this ■■■■! What will be next loot boxes? Disagree! Dont count with me…

So I have tested this new system today and it seems pretty solid. With few things to keep in mind :

  1. Hypercore can be bought with ISK & real life money. That makes it REALLY a gambling( Can be bad for game as some countries can consider this and BAN the game. Yes this also could have been the end of Star Wars Battlefront 2 if they did not back pedal on this).
  2. Some sales Will have 80mil (or more) tickets for Lets say - BILLION worth goods BUUUUUT…You can spend 80mil and NOT win the item so. Its gambling – and its for VERY rich ppl. Most of my friends will not even bother to waste money on that.
  3. To claim Item you WILL have to travel “will be placed in their item hangar in the location where the offer was created”. So no magic transportation of your goods.

P.S this makes it very interesting experience but its a Gambling. Its NOT for kids. And it could get unnecessary attention of your country goverment at some point.
