Remap obviously. The remap is worth more than everything else combined.

Or, more accurately, the remap is priceless — everything else can just be bought for a (often rather small) price.

Aurum.

I will keep stockpiling this free Aurum until something useful appears in the NeX store.

I want 'Spklpny' number plates for my Tengu.

I miss snowball launchers and ... well ... I wouldn't mind a small Jita Statue for the CQ I could pay for it with the free aurum they are giving me.

I took neural remaps. Because time = money :P

Large volumes of highly researched Ammo, drones, charges and ship bpo's. Biggest BPO store in EVE! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=445524#post445524

I took the Aurum. I still have 3 remaps, and everything else I still have, and if I use one of the remaps I lose a point X

Or, more accurately, the remap is given for free once per year. So its price is 0 - everything else got higher price then remap.

And once you hit 20mil or so SP, you dont really need remaps. I ended up several weeks without anything in skill queue, since it doesnt really matter... hmm lets see i can train .. hmm lets train ammar drone specs to V..

Do we have to make an consensus about how to feel about receiving an gift. Just take whatever you want and be happy you got something.


Yes this^^ Bloody hell, one would think that it's a simple choice, choose a gift or don't. What's this debating about ? Just thank CCP for the thought and play on.

Some of these posts are like complaining that water is wet.

really depends....

On my alt that already had one remap available I just used up that remap to go all out on charisma and chose the Neural Remap option for the gift to get a new remap on December 22nd which I can then use at my leisure to get out of charisma again.

On this character my next remap is due in March.
Assuming the remap gift is using the same mechanics as the remap gift after the learning skill removal, I would only be able to bring forward the March remap to December 22nd and would have to wait a full year after that before getting a new remap (i.e. not get a remap in March). This would not be of value to me.

From looking at this it just seems to me to be a desperate marketing attempt by certain CCP elements to inflate their nex store sales figures to make it look like they're doing well, if people spend this free aurum then they can say that people have actually spent money on it even though we all know that isn't the case they can't be proved wrong because of them using virtual currencies.

I just keep it in my wallet so they don't get their hopes up and give up on these stupid micro transactions.

Dessies? Nope.
Useless ships? Nope.
Terrible implants, or ones I already have? Nope.
Remaps? Hmmm... I never have an extended skill plan. I train whatever I feel like at the moment!
Boosters & Quafe? Nope.
Laser crystals? Nope, I don't use lasers for PVP or PVE.
Projectile ammo? Nope, I don't want Proton and other useless types
Hybrid ammo? As far as I'm concerned, only AM, Void and Null exist.
Missiles? Nope, I have enough T2 missiles .
AURUM? Well.... Fine... Maybe there'll be some nice pants or a tuxedo later.

I'm not complaining, though! We've already gotten two implants!

I got Thrashers and a whole bunch of ammo. And I will roam around lowsec killing frigates with reckless abandon, whilst laughing maniacally. And it will be glorious.
