Greetings,
I've quite recently ran into something quite interesting. One of the larger communities on DayZ that I've been a part of recently added loot boxes to their server.
They are selling just about every clothing item that is in the game. They've been doing this for quite some time.
The loot boxes are what concerns me the most.
You could argue that all of these items are purely cosmetic but frankly they are all quite expensive. 9 euros for gorka pants, 7 euros for a bandana.
I don't care that it's to support the server. What I care about is a 3rd party site ripping of the developers by selling their in game assets. For all I know, all of this money could have ended up in Bohemia's hands to further the development.
For those of you wondering what community I'm talking about, it's DayZRP.

I would like to hear your opinions and more importantly, the opinion of the devs themselves.
