None of the gifts have made an impact on my gameplay, but since they're free that's ok. Go cry to mommy and daddy, maybe they'll get you a PLEX.

Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

200 Arkonor
1 Expanded cargohold II

Well guess the arkonor can refine into minerals I use to make ammo.

[u]Nerf stabs/cloaks in FW?[/u] No, just.. -Fit more points -Fit faction points -Bring a friend or two with points (an alt is fine too)

200xArkonor It's a bit crowded in my Captain's Quarters, but surprisingly comfy to sleep on.

Pon Farr Memorial: once every 7 years, all the carebears in high-sec must PvP or they will be temp-banned.

Protip: you need to use two Fedos to make little a little Fedo, not you plus one Fedo. Genetic incompatibility and all. Hope this helps. Cool

Damnit, I knew I was going wrong somewhere!!! Time to start over!

I am suspect you only get Fedo if you do "bad" stuff like reduce your sec status or faction standings.

I'm not entirely sure, my friend got a fedo and all he does is trade and mission run... Cariest of carebears he is... He's never PvP'd in his ship and he's got high faction standing with all, so I'm not too sure how it works.

(I originally thought it was due to sec status or something, now I'm not too sure)

EDIT: All I know is I want more fedo's haha Big smile

I suspect it's random, which makes the pattern-matching blob on top of people's necks start inventing all kinds of silly correlations.

Onward to my gifts! So far I've been happy with my gifts(Like to get more Fedo's tho)!

On the first day of Yule, CCP gave me 5 Livestock, a festival launcher and 100 snowballs!

On the second day of Yule, CCP gave me a Prototype cloak!

On the Third day of Yule, CCP gave me a Fedo!

On the Fourth day of Yule, CCP gave me 50 ECM Drones!

On the Fith day of Yule, CCP gave me a Relic Anaylzer II !

On the Sixth day of Yule, CCP gave me a Synth Drop Booster!

On the Seventh day of Yule, CCP gave me 6x Limos Rocket Launchers!

On the Eight day of Yule, CCP gave me an Eifyr & Co. 'Rogue' Fuel Conservation Unit FC-801 (what a mouthful!)

On the Ninth day of Yule, CCP gave me an Expanded Cargohold II

I'm not even sure what kind of screwed up ship this is gonna be....

i have shot at flashy yellows before but never actually gotten to finish them off, and the only time i have killed ships, was executing a kill right, and defending myself against a gank. nothing that would hurt my sec status i believe.

my other pilots who havent even hit space for a long time are getting Fedo's too. But i like them, they are the key to my master plan to take over my end of space.

If CCP plans a mega gift on the final night, i will gladly forgo it and take 50 Fedo's instead

Shamelessly copying Jandice Ymladris:

On the first day of Yule, CCP gave me 7x Synthetic Oil, a festival launcher and 100 snowballs!

On the second day of Yule, CCP gave me a 100 Mn MWD!

On the Third day of Yule, CCP gave me a Amarr Shuttle!

On the Fourth day of Yule, CCP gave me 25x Hammerhead I!

On the Fith day of Yule, CCP gave me 2x Warp Core Stabilizer II!

On the Sixth day of Yule, CCP gave me a Synth Drop Booster!

On the Seventh day of Yule, CCP gave me a fedo!

On the Eight day of Yule, CCP gave me an Eifyr & Co. 'Rogue' Fuel Conservation Unit FC-801!

On the Ninth day of Yule, CCP gave me 200x arkonor!

I swear, I wil try to pull out that recipe when it's complete.

I remain incredibly amused by this slew of pointless gifts, for many reasons.

Not the least of which being that I feel it is a good exercise in gratitude for the people who complain about gifts, and drone on in the weeks before Christmas and the EVE anniversary asking what CCP is going to give us, as though they are obligated in any way to hand out gifts to us.

I would have honestly been just fine with a personally-drafted "thank you" letter from a random Dev for my years of subscribing and my often hilarious candor on the forums. I also would have been perfectly fine getting nothing at all. I pay my sub fees like a good little player, then I log on and do unspeakable evil in lowsec systems, hoping to find a target that enjoys PvP just as much as I do. That's really all there is to it.
Stop being greedy and enjoy the game.

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

Good points sir, however, you missed the main point entirely.

As said before, I'm not complaining, never said I was entitled to anything, or deserved anything. I pay sub fees to play (not receive special stuff) just like everyone else.

I just can't see why they make it all this junk. Couldn't it be cheap implants that are used, some goofy collectors cards, or something?
The fedo was cool, but 1 of 9 isn't very good.


P.S. not responding the trolls and personal attacks, if people have to resort to that, they had no valid points to begin with.

You are complaining, your complaining the gifts are pointless and no need to them, i have need of everything i have been giving an all will serve me well, warp scrambler 2, will a vet not use that?, shuttle, will a vet not use that?, all you seem to see is a isk number beside each gift and then say there worthless.

If you dont like whats been giving as has been said numerous times

1, do not redeem
2, do not even click on the damn website to recieve

The entitlement of some ppl really astounds me so it does, would you throw the present in your parents face if it was only a jumper? dont answer that i think i already know the answer
