Please do not disregard us, the collectors. Perhaps there are only couple hundreds of collectors being too attentive about these little changes, but still, we spent billions collecting these and they are about to be devalued to nothing. At least you could've warned us about this little presents.


Ishukone shirts, all over again. You heard it here first.

Although more seriously this is a very important point that has been raised. As a collector myself I feel CCP doesn't value our style of play -- they have reintroduced previously rare items on several occasions (E.g. Echelons, CA1/CA2) and each time I've lost large sums of money. I'm just hoping we get through this Christmas without my Apotheosis or Zephyr stockpile becoming worthless too.

Merry christmas to all CCP :)


Honestly I personally think day 2 has the better stuff.


On general principle, and because you always say awesome things I liked your posts. Then I actually read them and had to click unlike. Both times. le sigh.... you used to be so cool.

unless this was sarcasm that i just couldn't detect so late in the day (i should have been in bed 3 hours ago). If that's the case, let me know, and i'll re-like ALL THE POSTS!

i don't get posts like this - how does having a bounty negatively affect your time in-game??? it doesn't change your game at all if you never get a suspect flag because you're carebearing in highsec. since everyone has a bounty, who cares if you do or not... it's not the same game as before when having a bounty meant that you did something wrong in-game to someone.... christ, lighten up!



Hello Soll,

sorry but If you "don`t get posts like mine" it is your problem. I have a problem with the pathetic try to explain this new crap-mechanic. Have a look at the features page for Retribution. New Profession.. BOUNTY HUNTER! What a sh!it!
Following CCP's logic means that every ganker is now a bounty hunter if he kills someone with a lol-bounty on his head. He is no ganker anymore.. he is a real respective Bounty Hunter. Roll
Furthermore I never did wrong things in EVE which causes CONCORD. As long as the bounty pool is run by CONCORD (in other words - the police) I demand to be excluded from beeing able to have a bounty!
Reintroduce the restriction with secstate -1 to be able to have a bounty. But I think such a restriction will cause many other problems with the new bounty system and CCP is not able to solve them.
Oh.. I nearly forgot.. my missions are no fun anymore. Trash the new NPC-Mission-AI which was developed for Sleeper and group tactics!

I've never done anything wrong and therefore people shouldn't be able to put a price on my head!!

Yep. sounds legit. Tell that to Malala and her Taliban bounty.

What, you think that just because you're following the law to a T you should be immune from bounties? WTF do you think FBI witness protection is for? Stay in high sec if you're worried about your bounty. Or, alternatively, you can actually go and read the dev blogs about it which explain the system, because you clearly have no idea how it works or you wouldn't be this enraged. Seriously, you think your pithy little bounty is something to worry about? You should see mine.

Additionally, sleeper AI was not added to NPCs the way you seem to think it was. Again, try reading the damn devblogs.

This person should get no presents. This person obviously can't fathom the idea that they are not entitled to free stuff just because it is christmas, and that gifts aren't really gifts if you demand them.

That is all.

On another note, thanks to the community for being awesome! Looking forward to another 10 years of EVE awesomeness!


Hey is there a way we can get in the Guinness world records book for the largest virtual snowball fight in the world? I dunno worth a try right?

edit: Boo, no remap, oh well, just be stuck on this leadership remap for an extra 6 months than I need :(

Regarding remaps for X-mas, I think there is a good argument for granting one this year.

The announcement of the upcoming changes to the Battlecruiser and Destroyer skills, without committing to a firm date for when the changes would actually go live, forced a large number of players to use remaps to immediately change their skill plans to optimize Per/Wil attributes, in order to meet the unknown deadline (which some players are speculating might be as early as January).

As a reminder, this is what CCP Ytterbium wrote in his devblog last month:

"As announced at the beginning of the year, skill requirements will be modified when we are done overhauling tech1 battlecruisers and battleships. "

"With this in mind, it becomes quite obvious to focus on training the Destroyers and Battlecruisers skills before the change to get the maximum return effect. We highly recommend you start doing so now."

Do not conclude from your own nescience to others! I know that I have no killright with a bounty on my head. UH! I know how this new system works! But I do not like the idea to have an bounty on my head, even if I am an Highsec Dweller.

Other than that, all the NPC in the belts, missions, complex, navies, pirate faction, empire faction, and any others I can find will get the newer Level One AI.

So! I suggest you to also read all DevBlogs. Roll

well someone didn't like you enough to put a bounty on your head for some reason. If this was your main, I'd login and put a bounty on your head just for being annoying and whiny in a thread about gifts. your whining is off-topic.. Say your thanks you spoiled brat and go vent in the appropriate thread.

Selective reading.. not the best idea. Lol
In my first statement there was a thank you. Twisted

Any chance of anything actually useful, like the remaps you gave away last year ?

Snowballs & fireworks are very pretty and all that but not really of any use. I didn’t use the ones you gave away years ago, same will happen with this lot.
