Only expensive if you are low level and not getting as much XM benefit from your hypercubes. Otherwise, it's basically trading 10 L4-L8 cubes and some walking/slow driving for up to the XM equivalent of 33 L8 cubes. I don't see how that's expensive at all, seems like a really good deal to me.
I am legitimately struggling to get hypercubes. They are not so easy to come by as you claim. That said, I would have preferred to have the distance reduced from 8k to 4k.
Walk and get r8s...hell yeah....cubes meh...those are every...r8 are hard AF to get now that there's hardly any active agents..even less for a level 8 farm.
I voted for hypercubes because I thought it was the only recipe that was worth what you had to put in to it. There are other items I would rather have, but not for what they wanted. I voted based on what I perceived to be worth it. I wouldn't have ever done the other options in a capsule.
As someone who doesn't live in a major city (I'm stuck in a decaying Rust Belt one atm), finding 8 agents online at the same time in the same faction (or period, really) in a 25 mile radius is basically impossible, so L8 portals pretty much only exist around here with concerted efforts that involve an ADA and a JARVIS per portal. Conversely, there isn't a lot of combat out here, so while hypercubes are nice, they're rarely used... I'm sitting on 67 of them atm. The ability to get 16 extra L8 resonators every time I take a decently long walk would be invaluable - and help keep the local portal net functional, while the hypercubes are likely to just get traded to another agent when I'm traveling.
Of course, far, far more players live in major urban areas than in rural ones or barely-a-cities, so I'm not surprised the votes are landing where they are. People who live in major cities really don't need the resonators, and saccing 3 multihacks to make an ITO in either direction is of questionable value in any setting - the ITOs are nice, but they're pretty much always used in conjunction with a multihack and a heat sink, and of course the pink multihack also needs those purple multihacks.
Well, lvl 8 portals isn't required to hack lvl 8 resos, they can be hacked even from lvl 6 portals, or from passcodes, then collected in MUFG. 95r8 produce 3-5 resonators/day per MUFG without any walking
So you can get tons of r8 solo, just with one portal deployed with r87766554, vrmh and ito+, but, why do you need so much r8 ? there are thousands of portals in your city ?)
to 'keep the local portal net functional' you need keep top 3 resos (r877) fully charged, and deploy r66554 when their time comes (once a week), or 2 resos if you want drop old links/fields and make some new.
Easy choice for me, albeit a losing vote. Either ITO is actually rare compared to the abundance of cubes and resos. At least Hypercubes are useful. For now I guess I’ll keep making VR heat sinks.

R8s are harder to come by than hypercubes outside major urban areas.
I agree, with ifs each months cubes isnt really a problem and passcodes usually filled with them.. r8 is the most important thing we have.

Surprised they didn't make it so you could just vote from your client. That's how they want you to submit tickets...

So don't come here
ITO are better than hypercubes

Hell, I would have even voted for R7s! 🤣
Why wouldn't I? Do you forbid me from stating my opinion?

That is what I would choose if I could figure out how to vote. Does this count as a vote to mention it in a comment?

16 L8 Resonators
Maybe, if they had bundled (-/+) then... maybe at least 2nd place. lol. :/
two players can make an L7 portal, which can give L8 resos.
not THAT hard.
Hipercubos, el pueblo lo pide
