Probe launcher, analyzers, cloaking device, warp core stabs.

I don't think the gifts are random, they all seems to be exploration related.

They were wiser times as horses have horrible mouths and try and tread on your feet.

Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85

Well you make stupid claims all the time and you still seem happy with yourself. I should be fine.

At least I was talking about the reality of what we got so far,

Sod off you ungrateful sacks of sh*t.

You're no better than those spoiled over-privileged brats of the gimme generation that whinge their parents didn't give them 3000 dollars worth of high tech presents.

CCP gave us a cool advent calendar to open every day. Advent calendars always had tiny chocolates in them - not 1kg bars.

Thanks CCP for the festive spirit. Please use your Dev powers to flag people that whine unappreciatively of your Xmas festivities with a public killright.

I found many of the gifts to be useful.

and yet, in comparison to previous years these gifts are of a lesser quality. i don't care what you think of the people saying it; it's still true.

Much like getting socks and underware for christmas, not real fun but something you probably need and will use. Persoanlly think they are pretty nice gifts and the Fedo's are something new.

You really don't deservet the SoCT Battleship they are giving out tomorrow....

























So I am guessing.

I hold Kate in regard, but I disagree

Mostly because its not over yet, and also because its not "random junk" or "useless junk".

Do you complain that the gifts your partner/family/significant otter got you last year cost more and get in a huff about it?

I just find it irksome that some of this community bitches so much at a Dev team that try to do fun things for the community to enjoy. It's a thankless and extremely difficult process and it will get to the stage where they're just like, you know what, why do we bother, all they do is ***** and moan about everything, let's do nothing at all and have a holiday.


Anyone with experience of any kind of service industry will know those customers that you put in effort for and go that extra mile and they just treat you like crap? Don't be those people.

It's Christmas.

Is it wrong to be enjoying the squawking almost as much as the gifts? I got a Fedo and drugs, already left satisfied. Does anyone not consider the poor devs, working their socks off to get a united scream of "WTF CCP" for Christmas? I mean, it's Christmas for Devs too.

I'm really hoping for a Damage Control Unit for the last day. Tech I.

But now might also be a good time to bellow "WHERE'S MY NAVY ISHUKONE SCORPION CCP!" Or, er, whatever it was.

Honestly, I think that last gift is going to be something that ties everything together. I am thinking another Gnosis release which is probably completely wrong. Just my two cents.

My last one was a Leopard. A T2 Minmatar shuttle that warps incredibly fast. Since my main business is making blueprint copies to sell to inventors and manufacturers, this is the perfect gift for hauling bpc to market at 20 AU/s. For me, this is a home run. I bought a few spares from folks who didn't want theirs (and to them, thank you very much).

now it's over, and i'd have rather had the remap from 2011 than the leopard, and assorted junk.
