You want to complain about how hard it is for T2 producers, why don't you ask CCP to nerf meta 4 drop rates.

Basically this. A load of T1/T2 junk is basically nothing. 30 Ishukone Scorpions are something totally different, OP.

30 Ishukone Scorpions vs 500,000 T2 modules.

I can produce one and have no control over the other.

Yeah, tough call.

Because I sell my Meta 4's to buy what? T2 modules. Thus the circle of life is complete and Simba gets laid.

Didnt get any ships beyond the Leopard, or stuff, but it was still fun.

Well you can always find Hildar's home address and have thousands of people mail him lumps of coal.

So what if it does cause a crash in the market? That's what happens and traders should be prepared for that.

Oh god.

if "everyone" or at least a vast majority gets them then it will have an effect, it's not going to be the end of the world nor have any very long lasting effects at all, but it's the principle of the thing; CCP shouldn't touch player created products.



Durign christmas alone more of thse will be lost in explosions than the ammoutn given and claimed.

Virtually all items can be player created, are you saying that CCP shouldn't give away anything at all?


ccp should give out more fun stuff rather than junk you wouldn't even loot from a wreck.

snowballs are fun, fedo was great, neural remaps were awesome when ccp gave them away (or gave you the option for a carepackage of USEFUL stuff) etc.

previous year's gifts and giveaways have all been better than the yule lads junk.


Exactly, used to actually look forward to the CCP x-mas presents. Feel twice the fool for it now.

Reopen the EVE gate so we can invade Serenity. Goons can go first.

At the rate meta 4 drops, there's no incentive to ever buy T2 if the meta 4 version is better. This leads to whole markets of T2 items which will never be very profitable.

He would probably like that. Coal is not cheap in Iceland I'd guess.

Would it make you feel better if a CCP employee sat and mined/researched and salvaged across the entire year to get the materials to provide EVERY subscriber of EVE one of those T2 and T1 modules?

They were alts of course, but I saw the yule-lads mining and mission running with the best of us in the L4 mission running system I frequent. They worked very hard!

(At least this is what I keep telling myself to sleep at night.)
