Yes. Largely because saying they're “crap” is meaningless. What's crap about them? What were you expecting?

So you agree that you have no argument then. That explains why you can't answer a simple question.

What we've been given here is in line with what we've been given every christmas. In fact, the unusual usefulness of this year's gifts makes it above and beyond what we usually get. So what the hell are you whinging about other than your own inability to make use of the stuff and your inability to articulate anything that even remotely resembles a coherent complaint?


Oh noes.. big words....
um....
um...
crap!

Sorry I offend the fanboys who think CCP can do no wrong.

I'm not "articulate" enough to express my thoughts so..
I'll stop "whinging" now.


Lol


Hi it's me again, I know you missed me and all. Now I did say I was gone from this thread but frankly I lied... consider it the dramatic exit without the 'exit'.

You realize how terrible of a reply that was to a legitimate argument? Like even worse than this one and that's saying something... Again struggling to see this 'discussion' you are having.


So THAT is a legitimate argument but me thinking CCP's gifts are crap isn't?
What have you added to the discussion other than insults?

Crappy gifts are crappy. Disagree fine, want to express that disagreement, great.
When all you can do to disagree is insult people, you have no argument.


No calling CCP gifts crap is not a legitimate argument as to why CCPs gifts were crap. It's rather hard to come up with a counterargument to someone with no arguments...

What's crap about them?
T1 junk and a shuttle.

What were you expecting?
CCP to actually put in some :effort: instead of letting a RNG decide crap t1 junk.

That help you at all?

Yes (actually, no, but I'm being nice here and letting that slide)? And what's crap about them?

You mean like picking out a thematic set of components that you can put to use for various fun purposes? You mean like redesigning old rare items and handing them out? You mean like designing a new shuttle and handing it out? You mean like giving a little show and story behind the whole thing?

This is all equal to or above what they've done previous years. You got exactly what you were expecting. So why are you whinging again?

No, because you're hoping that repeating the same meaningless platitude will create depth and meaning to it.

They put plenty of effort in, <3 my fedo, you just seem upset that you cannot gain a monetary advantage from your gifts... also I was really pleased about the shuttle, when I first saw the item on sisi in the depths of the market and unavailable for sale I didn't actually think I'd be able to get my hands on one unless I payed through the nose or took part in some sort of event.

Well I guess this is simple where our opinions differ.

Junk is junk.

A shuttle is a shuttle.

Fanboys will always defend their game.

No amount of insults, or personal attacks will change that.

…and the difference is that you are unable to articulate what makes it “junk” or why it's bad that a shuttle is a shuttle.

Again: what's crap about them? What were you expecting? What on earth would have lived up to your unstated demands? Articulate your complaint!

Please point to the personal attacks from tippia. Now I may not be able to refrain from sarcastic derogatory remarks when faced with the sheer whineyness of this thread but Tippia is clearly a stronger person than I, and for that I salute him. o7

Worst x-mas ever CCP.


How is this post not a rant? Seriously, CCP don't have to give you anything at all. As for the largest fleet battle, the "reward" for that was just being part of it. I don't think anyone was doing it to give CCP "publicity". It was an "I was there" moment.

Seriously why do you think that CCP owes you anything at all? You pay a monthly subscription, you get access to the game. A game which CCP constantly strives to improve and modify with varying degrees of success. What more do you want?

Ok. I'll try 1 more time.

What's crap about them?
It's randomized t1 junk. Stuff few people will actually use. (and before the "well I fit the mining upgrade!' good for you READ: few)

What were you expecting?
Stuff inline with previous years, novelty items, collectables ect. (READ: not high isk value or titans, remember the donut holder?)

What on earth would have lived up to your unstated demands?
Exactly, I never stated demands, that's something you have introduced to this thread not I.

I said "Crappy gifts are crappy"
random junk stuff = crappy
A shuttle (while it is special, and goes fast) is still a shuttle.
