Handing x-mass gifts but only redeemable till 21st december, yeah thats realy a x-mass gift.
I been on forums plenty just not on general discussion like many others and missed out on redeeming aurum or any of the choices.

No wonder so many people cancel sub and go play swotr.

Just give every player till the 25th the chance to select a gift or just dont do any gifts at all.

And no im not butthurd its just another drop that tipped the bucket.

Dont know why they bother giving anyone xmas presents, every time they do it people just complain about it.

CCP set a date a while ago and stuck to it. Its not their fault that some people missed the deadline..

If people quit because of missing one free gift, they probably werent going to be hanging around EVE for long anyway

There were plenty of signs to claim your gift...when logging in, giant friggin banners, how is it CCPs fault that you are simply blind? Don't cry and blame others for your own mistake.

Seriously, there where banners on log in, dev posts, news items, and its been all over the forums.

You have nothing to moan about. It is entirely your fault. Give me all your stuff, and shut the door on the way out.

Thank you.

CCP did everything except hit the REDEEM button for you. If your cognitive skills suck so bad perhaps frogger is more your game speed.

This isn't the complaint department. You'll want to take the nearest stargate to low-sec from the high-sec comfort zone, preferably in your most exquisite vessel loaded with the most expensive of modules, and wait for your name to be called. Plenty of people will rush over to help you.

Selecting and claiming gifts is hard. True story.

If anyone ever looks at you and says,_ "Hold my beer, watch this,"_  you're probably going to want to pay attention.

Going to do something positive here: THANK YOU CCP FOR THE GIFT.
As always thank you for the great game.

I missed out on my gift too Sad
I don't know how many times I read when the deadline was, but just realized yesterday that Christmas was almost here and I was too late to pick out my gift... maybe I should procrastinate less?Ugh

(I was not going to post this with dev badge because then the thread is flagged like it has some useful input from a dev, when it's just a useless story of my fail, but I failed and pushed the wrong button, so I guess flagged it isOops)

Actually no.

More people cancelled over Incarna than over SWTOR.

*I missed my gift too so no biggie.

Op, stop your goddamn whining, and say thanks/ They didn't have to give you ANYTHING. If they gave you a billion isk you'd be crying about how it's too much.

That's a Templar, an Amarr fighter used by carriers.

Maybe on ur screen, i was ingame, on forums and yet didnt see that topic, there was no banner , no obvious topic in main page what so ever.

Anyways im by far the only one complaining, i just made a topic in general discussion about it.
Just the fact that you got ur gift doesnt mean everyone else noticed and redeemed it.
Dont you even think its fair to keep it open till atleast the 24th?

Atleast in other games you get it automaticly.


@alexa, in this case i prefer they didnt give anything, information from ccp just needs alot more obvious.
