Why push the eligibility dates for the reward forward even though it was CCP who changed the new release date forward?

It means some people who only came back for a month are now having to stretch it to 2.

Is it just to make it look like there are more people here on the 15th?

There is none.

Why should someone get a reward that's released with an expansion before the expansion is released?

It's pretty obvious that they are pushing back Ascension to fix things and do stress tests.I know there are always problems on release of games/x-pacs but in my experienec CCP is pretty darn good at getting it at lest 95% right on release unlike..... Blizzard for example.

How would pushing the date back give them more numbers? Wouldn't it give them lower numbers? As you said some people only come back for a month to get rewards and such, so if they already put their one month in expecting it to be done on say the 9th or 10th and not able or willing to pay for a second month for rewards wouldn't that actually reduce the number of people on the 15th, not increase it?

I think CCP should issue turkeys with launchers for Thanksgiving so we can shoot turkeys at each other without penalty , except our ships get fat for a certain amount of time .

Because CCP honestly doesn't really care if you created an account just for the purpose of catching extra redeemables and this "stretch" inconveniences you therein. Not that it's that big a deal, but I'd imagine that's not what CCP had in mind for account creation and giving players the means to having more than one active at a time.

Also, no reason to suspect that any said redeemables won't show up on market beginning on the day they are given. The price in ISK will be crappy for a few days, but will like always normalize after a while. Not exactly free, but then again neither is an active premium account.

Yoda. That is all.

Oh, I perfectly understand, Hal Morsh — a mission like this requires courage, skill, and heroism… qualities you are clearly lacking. Have you forgotten you're one of the bloody immortals!?

My starbase shoots out a turkey every time I undock my Prophecy.
