yep i literally said in what you quoted you already offer it as a premium service it was a suggestion of a merge of all the premium services into the one black box deployable  

the problem with that is those items in the webstore are used to help pay for the running of the servers If you add them to a Item that can be brought from the Black-market it then lessens the webstore sales which then could mean the servers are no longer paying to keep themselves running

did you read the part where it was suggested to use a premium currency purchaced from the web store ??

i know there is a bit there but read the 3 posts in full it covered the monitization...

tldr
you build the black box not buy it.... (to encourage some initial game farming)

the item acts as an ingame hub for store item procurement and services using a premium currency purchaced from the web store to ground the system in game. so you get to provide ALL the premium items for a currency that is only acquired from the web store (the EZcoin)

so the 1 grand EZ service hub for each players base everything can be bought and used and it recieves and provides the various automated resorces all the upgrades are still purchaced using glorious cash via the ezcoin.

it achieves the other goal stated by death of cutting the overall entity count down with everything merged into a single entity

There are rules in Facepunches TOS from doing such a thing

but adds way more overhead to make that system work defeating the whole point

so they allow 3rd parties to sell in game items for real world cash but dont allow selling a in game token to be used for redeeming the same items??  

genuine question there as i am not farmiliar with the ins and outs of the TOS regarding monitization.

from a quick read of the community server and hosting guidelines they appear to support selling your own server currency?. so on the surface that shouldnt be an issue?
