I remain incredibly amused by this slew of pointless gifts, for many reasons.

Not the least of which being that I feel it is a good exercise in gratitude for the people who complain about gifts, and drone on in the weeks before Christmas and the EVE anniversary asking what CCP is going to give us, as though they are obligated in any way to hand out gifts to us.

I would have honestly been just fine with a personally-drafted "thank you" letter from a random Dev for my years of subscribing and my often hilarious candor on the forums. I also would have been perfectly fine getting nothing at all. I pay my sub fees like a good little player, then I log on and do unspeakable evil in lowsec systems, hoping to find a target that enjoys PvP just as much as I do. That's really all there is to it.
Stop being greedy and enjoy the game.



Good points sir, however, you missed the main point entirely.

As said before, I'm not complaining, never said I was entitled to anything, or deserved anything. I pay sub fees to play (not receive special stuff) just like everyone else.

I just can't see why they make it all this junk. Couldn't it be cheap implants that are used, some goofy collectors cards, or something?
The fedo was cool, but 1 of 9 isn't very good.


P.S. not responding the trolls and personal attacks, if people have to resort to that, they had no valid points to begin with.



You are complaining, your complaining the gifts are pointless and no need to them, i have need of everything i have been giving an all will serve me well, warp scrambler 2, will a vet not use that?, shuttle, will a vet not use that?, all you seem to see is a isk number beside each gift and then say there worthless.

If you dont like whats been giving as has been said numerous times

1, do not redeem
2, do not even click on the damn website to recieve

The entitlement of some ppl really astounds me so it does, would you throw the present in your parents face if it was only a jumper? dont answer that i think i already know the answer


I think I agree with you.

But to sure, I'd need you to rewrite that in English.

So so far I'vee got:
- drones (always handy)
- microwarpdrive (big ass 100MN one, can't use it but it sold for 800k which is ok for me)
- cloacks (got a better one but still good)
- relic analyzers (I'll save it for when I can use it)
- cargo analyzers (good enough)
- miners (i don't mine but as any T2 it will bring *some* ISK)
- Fedos (yaaaay! I'm gonna love him and cuddle him and....ahem!)

So overall i'm pretty happy with it. Plus most likely we'll get a brand spanking new ship on the 24th so ...yaaaaay!

you can't win

Every Christmas, people want 'goodies' (we're programmed to want)

CCP Give 'something' and people are all upset (not all of them are butt hurt, but look at some of them posts!) when it's not a 'FREE TITAN'.

Gees.

Give em Coal next year.

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

Yeah fun. Roll

CCP x-mas troll, best x-mas troll.


See here's the thing, its not really trolling, free gifts are free, what were you expecting, a titan?

CCP wont give out anything market breaking nor will they give out anything too expensive, dont expect a black ops battleship to land in your hangar or a carrier, take this event for what its meant to be, some random fun, CCP could have opted to just give you another fancy pointless shuttle but instead we get random gifts which are far more amusing than a random ship :)


Let's see,
last year we had:
Collectors cards
Faction Frigs
Neural remap
Implant sets
Ect..

This year, total crap. I don't want a titan, but t1 junk you get from a high-sec belt rat? Really?


Recession... they dont have any money to give us shiny pixels..

Miner II and an Expanded Cargohold II.

I just bought the shiny new Miasmos and Kryos last night to expand my hauling, so that ECII will come in handy. Thanks CCP! All the gifts have been awesome.

I could use more Fedos though. For... reasons Smile

While it would be great to get a really big gift, getting numerous and different gifts over a number of days, is kind of nice imo.

Not everyone needs or wants the same things, and it extends the surprise and interest.

I expect the best gift is reserved for last, and it might be pretty big.

Personally, I am pretty happy with it all.

Actually, I did get a shuttle. An Amarr one. At least it wasn't Gallente. /rp

Seriously though. Those Gallente shuttles are sexy.
