So I'm reading your latest devblog, and besides the usual announcements about upcoming expansion, the great and never more (in)famous fanfest, and of course the evermore-present talk about Dust what set the tone of the entire blog was (especially with the whole thank you, we love you.. pilots of EvE) you (CCP) being so grateful to us, so full of sweet love and devotion, you just can't help yourselves but to gift us more.
To be honest, my first thought was that's nice of them. Until i read on.

Is this how you gift your children? Is this the way of showing how grateful you are for having so many of us, us who 'In doing so over time, (..) have made EVE.' ?
And It's not about the damn gifts, It's what you say with it:
Thank you. Whatever.

Well it made me sad. Made me feel less appreciated then a naked Bo Derek in a gay bar.
Made me thank you by writing this, something I dreaded for long, a whiners post. Sad

You remind me of those people.

as long as sentient beings exist,

until then, may I too remain

and dispel the miseries of the world."

I think you'll be glad to have a cruiser soon. Summer is coming.

WoW holds your hand until end game, and gives you a cookie whether you win or lose. EVE not only takes your cookie, but laughs at you for bringing one in the first place...

Selling the "Refine Your Skills" option (just the implants) lets you buy 2-3 sets of "Plug and Play".

If you like gambling, go for the "A Paxist Treasure" or "Drill Bits" (The latter contains a good ammount of Nocxium. CCP might also do something with the Pax Amarria?).

Predicting a skillbook value crash on all involved skillbooks too; so they'll effectively be worthless or very devaluated.
Just sayin'.

Wait 5 years and sell the collector's items for 10 billion ISK.

New item that is spelled differently, according to CCP Greyscale:

"Pax Amarria" already exists ingame; "Pax Ammaria" is a new collectors' item

While the gift is blah for sure, complaining about free stuff is pretty bad form.

I for one, will likely choose the book. It seems the only unique prize in the lot.
