And BTW, high five for starting more micro-transactions.

You can now buy plex to get:
Space Barbie dress-up clothes!
ALL NEW! Snowballs that were given out for free!

I wonder how long it will be before they try to add special ships/ammo...

CCP = Cash collecting program

You are "entitled" to nothing. Your assumption that you are makes you just look like mommies lil' princess... and I don't care if you are a guy or not.... but who knows with an avatar like yours.

Please fly your "untouchable" shuttle in jita, or take it through the rancer pocket and we'll see how "untouchable" it is.


... well considering that before I used to use shuttles to zip in and out of losec all the time. Never had a problem. Only ships small enough to lock a shuttle before it's in warp are the ones small enough for the gate guns to actually nuke. The ships big enough to tank the gate guns were too slow to lock my shuttle.

And that's a basic shuttle. Ok in theory someone could certainly tweak a cruiser or whatever for max lock speed, but then they sacrifice the all important DPS and tank. No one I ever saw went that route, and I don't blame them. Besides, only ten year old "lulz" nitwits would even care in the first place.

Now multiply that by "Leopard" and again, as I said before, you're a ghost. They'd have better luck trying to tag a covert ops ship.

And Jita? It's a shuttle, not a freighter. You're getting your ships confused.

Rancer? Maybe, but I honestly don't give a crap about Rancer so who cares?

Oh, and this is the part where you try to convince me that you're actually just the alt of some uberskilled Titan pilot with trillions of ISK and quadrillions of SP who's seen, done and knows everything about everything.

Well kids, I'm not a pro. And that's my point. These things are simple. So simple, in fact, that even a novice like me can pull it off. So spare us the e-peen ego trip. This is EvE and there's always a bigger ego than yours out there who can spout even more bragging BS about how leet they are.

This isn't about leet. This is about running like a bunny and not getting caught. And the Leopard is very, very good at this. So I like it.

This is irrelevant. If you give, then genuinely give. Not as some moral collateral, leverage or something to hold over someones head. It entitled you to none of the stuff you wanted, nor to any of the things you actually got.

And just as with all the prior gift ships this is special in that it is unique and limited in quantity and similarly function. The only exception being a ship given out to celebrate 10 years of EvE's existence, something similarly unnecessary on CCP's part. Technically this shuttle is better in function than the 5 year gift shuttle despite that being a milestone more worthy of recognition for the game.

highlighted the important part, you have no idea what your talking about.

People will suicide this shuttle in jita because it's different, go look at killboards already.

Why would you need "tank and DPS' to kill a shuttle?

Their called smartbombs.

Don't worry, one day you'll grow up and come to understand the truth behind the Eve universe.

Who cares what you think, OP? Your blog is something you do for yourself, in a sad attempt to negate your insignificance. Your streaming is the same, though it's not nearly as good as the streams of others(this is speculation, as I've never bothered to watch any of your streams). Your donation to the PFG event is appreciated, though bragging about it is just another attempt at gaining some kind of fame. And finally, the only content I've seen from you are your forum posts, which can hardly be called content and should probably be called pointless drivel from an insignificant person longing to be noticed. You should be happy you received a shuttle, since, having contributed nothing, you don't deserve anything in return. Being a non-entity is not a point of pride for most so congratulations for being one of the few to make it so.

Believing that they should have given you anything better or anything at all is an act of "Entitlement Syndrome". CCP could always have done "better" but doing so would have likely ruined the game for a great many people for something that amounts to a single shot event. The game dynamics have not really changed and we all got to participate in a neat event that exposed most of us to a new form of culture. It was all voluntary and had a form of enticement that you get when you gamble. That is it. Really anything else would have changed things so dynamically within Eve Online as to cause an outcry in the other direction and by a lot more people.

I don't know, took part in all of them?

Wrote blogs/streamed the events?

Created content for players and viewers?

Pick one.

You didn't have to say it. It's incredibly clear from the logic presented. You stated things that you felt were done for CCP as justifications for your complaints. You did NOT just say the gifts were crap, though that was there in addition to your exclamation of a great year for CCP and directly related it to your complaint about the gifts. It's right in the OP for all to read, that you feel some ingratitude from CCP despite what was done by the players. That statement is directly equivalent to stating you felt owed something for those acts, else there was no reason for your disappointment being compared to the action of the players.

Still you have to admit, compared to years past, this year was pretty crappy.
