But that would be edging into P2W, which has already been stomped into the ground as a bad idea.

Woo! CSM XI!

People who are not "complete fanboys" would probably not even consider buying the CE. I know I didn't. These things are always full of pointless crap.


Yes maybe, but one would still expect more useful , unique items from a 10 year celebration of EVE. I'm sure they'd sell a hell of alot more CE's if they would actually include something special.


Can you name another CE that had "useful , unique items?"

Ok. It's a great CE, since it contains all the usual stuff and also some pretty fun and oddball components. There you go.

Doesn't Eve have a customer service department for these type of complaints.

Which will continue to give us stuff for years to come.


Says who? That code could be anything from pretty useful to completely useless.

There are no guarantees what-so-ever that the code will grant you anything worth keeping. Could be more Dust stuff (yay!).

A matter of fact it's more likely to be Dust stuff or other CCP projects because the description clearly states: "will grant owners special, but currently secret, benefits related to future CCP products and events."

Future CCP products and events. EVE is no CCP future product, it has already been released. It's a current product.



Expansions are future projects... Just sayin'.

Nope, not disappointed.

Wrt ingame stuff, its about the same as other CEs I have, and they are all equally *meh*

The out of game stuff is the reason I got it, oh, and cos I like having CEs of games :)

I'd say there's not a single CE out there that doesn't have items in it that you won't find anywhere else.

If you think a Tash Murkon Magnate is such an item then I'm sorry to say it but you're easily fooled.

Also, please remind yourself of the fact that a regular CE for any other game contains the actual game and if it's an MMO it usually contains gametime. This pack is not only extremely expensive compared to other CE's, about twice as expensive actually, it also does not contain any gametime what-so-ever.

For me it was the history book and golden pod that made the deal. The mystery code could be cool. We still have no idea about that. I'm going to give my rifter to a friend... I don't collect crap IRL so most of it yah I don't care about. Still worth it to me though. Yah of course CCP screwed up some things... but it's CCP and they are playing it true to form (one sleeve tattoo only? rly?). ...I've had some fun though. The artists in this game are great and I'm looking forward to seeing their work. DUST definitely blows pretty hard... but if you play the drop uplink is pretty nice. Little warpoint machine. I'm looking forward the the symphony CD too. Think about how much time you've spent in EvE, divide by subscription price. Meh... it's not that much money.

Why start a rant about it? If it doesn't look like a good deal don't get it. Problem solved. Roll

Because I love EVE and I've been playing since 2004 so I really want to buy it but there's just no incentive what-so-ever.

For a sandbox game, perhaps CCP should have included a small bag full of Iceland's volcanic ash as a representation that while the sand (the game play) is course, relatively even for all, but rough in texture, every now and then something occurs that was unexpected (interaction of other players) and could cut out your current plans (volcanic shard pieces).

You have no clue what the word great means.

Incorrect.

Meanwhile you got exactly what you asked for, and now you're abusing people because they don't agree with you. The fact remains, it's a great CE, since it contains all the usual stuff and also some pretty fun and oddball components.

I will never use most of the items in ce...but the money is trivial and therefore I do not mind supporting CCP.
