Hello, I just realized I forgot to claim Gecko drone. I login to eve almost daily, but the information on the character selection screen is so well hidden that I have never noticed it. I had troubles spotting and claiming previous gifts as well. So could you please make this information more visible, add some popup window or just put it into the character hangar on the last day ? Thanks a lot

Is it really so difficult for you to hit escape key and click on the redeem items button?

No, its not. But I need to know first there is something to redeem. After more than 6 years of playing I go through the login and character selection screen automatically without closely inspecting it if there is something new.

A giant bar at the bottom of the character selection screen that says "REDEEM ITEMS"?
You really need to look better.

Maybe you missed the part when I say that after so many years of playing the process of logging in is so automatic for me that I DO NOT LOOK

Then that's your problem.

CCP provides a massive bar at the bottom of your screen that says "Hey, look at these goodies!". If you're in such a rush, that you can't wait a couple of seconds for that bar, then you don't deserve the goodies it provides.

EVE is an illness, for which there is no cure.

It looks like that distinction between rush and automatic process is too much for you to understand. (why should I wait when I do not know/remember there is something to wait for ?)

Anyway, thank you for your kind words.
