    3rd Party sites making profit from DayZ

    As someone who used to play in this community I can tell you that I've never heard of such thing happening. As far as I know, all the items in the store are exactly the same as the ones found IG.

    What about helmets ? Motorbike helmet or dirt bike helmets. They affect gameplay or am I wrong ? As far as I know they have higher hitpoints, thus giving you an advantage when it comes to a fight. Besides, you can buy any piece of clothing that's not armor. M65 jackets and gorka jackets have a lot more slots than a t-shirt you start of with.

    Keep in mind that there are 118 items for sale. Ranging from 3 to 9 euros. 1 crate will cost you 3 euros. Buying all 118 items with loot boxes would cost you 354 euros. Buying them separately would cost you around 520 euros. Effectively making loot boxes even more tempting.

    Selling in game items is allowed. I understand that. But what about the loot boxes ? Is selling loot boxes still allowed even if they are just cosmetic ?
  5. 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. Screenshot of the recently added loot boxes: https://i.gyazo.com/2f8cc16975f49a475136a66ac39d9d07.png I would like to hear your opinions and more importantly, the opinion of the devs themselves.
