Maybe it already has. Yesterday's was a skill booster thing, (thank you, it is much appreciated and will be well used) and a memento thing. Prior to that, I think multiples were either his and hers, or SKINS for all the races.
So, maybe someone already goofed, and gave us two presents instead of one, and this is their way of catching it.

Don't make excuses for CCP.

Much as I'd love to own some CCP merchandise, there's no way in hell I'd ever pay $30 just on shipping, especially as I'd likely also end up paying even more tax on top of that to have it shipped to Germany. They desperately need an EU shipping centre if they ever want to sell more than a handful of things in the US.

Just make your own models of the ships. Lol . Google triexporter and papercraft eve ships.


Or, I just wait for new ship models to become available and buy them, either premade or in kits, doesn't bother me either way. Model-making is a hobby of mine but premade is fine too. I have one of the old stone Megathron models on a stand in my room from before the model was changed in-game. I've since polished and re-painted it in a scheme that looks like what the US Navy uses on F-5 aggressors in war games.

As much as the 15% off is a thoughtful gift....shipping is still an issue in other countries and to be quite honest...there isn't enough items on the store to make it worth it. Not much variety I think it's less than 25 total items. Free shipping would have been nice.

Are you unaware how the redeeming system works? at charactor selection there is a bar across the bottom that says redeem if there is something there to redeem, you clickt hat it pops up further you drag the item to your character.. you can also check it in game in the E menu under inventory I believe.

Or maybe you have been getting the items but don't know how to open the crate, double click it.

Yeah wth is going on? on both of my characters on the same email didn't even get day two. one account got day 4 . and today neither of my characters got day 19's gift. i'm missing gifts even though i log on and theres nothing in my redeem box. which is obviously a red flag considering that right after one gift expires the next one is supposed to take its place. i'm getting really irritated at this and ccp won't respond to my reports.

Just think of it as a day off from redeeming. At least we all got a pair of pants. Pants are usually super expensive isk wise compared to outerwear. I was hoping there's be a matching pair of lockstep boots or something but oh well. A sale is better than a dud gift like forged frigate blueprints.

Back in my runescape days there used to be holiday specific quests and you'd get a cool rare item at the end. Kinda miss that. Most of the gifts so far have been died except the free pants. Glacial ship skins are ugly and the items given out don't do anything. The accelerator is nice but it's only 24 hours. So not much from that. Sale should have just been a Christmas sale.

Maybe there will be 1-2 good ones at the end and not just more glacial skins.
Ear augmentation would be cooohl, thicker beards or hair styles for winter, sleek turtlenecks or knit sweaters maybe even racial scarves. Those would all be cool.

Its like ccp is autistic sometimes, no foresight, no fugging box, the special subscribe offer with no expire date on it expired, its my birthday on top of that.
Not cool ccp get with the times, So what that you cant pull out a tab from the overview which you need as the game has now more then 100 players in battles and it would be freaking helpful to have 2 overviews, So what that you cant drag drop items on to the inventory icon in station, or market icon to sell, So what that the fitting window simulator doesnt always lets you unfit the module so you have to back out the whole thing, So what that the tutorial msg is stuck on top of the hud hp readings(not like newbies need to know the hp right), So what that you get ganked by concord for shooting at a silly wreck of someone else, So what that you cant get your api if you have a steam account and a regular account linked to the same email, So what that undocking from stations takes up to 10 secs of looking at a black screen, So what that the jita market respond times are 20 secs, so what that the industry window takes 40 secs to load,,, But no birthday gift, No box and withdrawing the subscription deal Whilst giving a discount on rl stuff that i dont use as i dont have a rl, that just hurts.

I'm buying my family 15% off coupons for stuff they're not interested in for xmas this year.

I'm sure they'll all agree it is just as good as the actualy gift cards and stuff I got them last year.


Maybe, just maybe, your family is better than you, and will accept the gift for what it is, a gift, that you are in no way obliged to give them under any circumstances.



Except they said there giving gifts and then they want money. I really could careless about the gifts but I see no reason for anyone to defend this. Its a screw up plain and simple and they had to know it would **** people off.


And for anyone who rage quits as a result of the sale... I mean gift, can I have your stuff.


So.... you do care a little bit at least about the gifts. I mean, if you could care less, then you have to care a bit in the first place.

Please try not to conflate my criticism of player entitlement with a defence of CCP's marketing choices. I couldn't care less about them, or the EVE store in the first place (since they have yet to put model ships in there, which is all I'm interested in). What I'm calling out is anyone that thinks CCP owes them more than they've paid for. They don't. They just don't. Regardless of PR spin, they don't owe you ****.



Sure I care about the gifts or I wouldn't have checked to see what was there to redeem. Its kind of like you posting in a thread about them. Its not about entitlement. If CCP had not said anything about gifts I would never expect one. However, they said they would be giving gifts and today was obviously not a gift. Also they don't owe me **** and I don't want **** but because they said they were giving gifts to players and to be sure and log in to collect your gift each day there should have been a gift even if it was carbon.

^Well said - Bottom line, they said gifts would be in the redeeming system.. As Dr Moe Dallocort said, "Nothing in the redeeming system; so it can't be a gift."

Remiel Pollard - "It's also not worth stomping your feet and throwing an epic tantrum over. Oh noes! One whole day without a tangible gift! ALL WE GOT WAS PR SPIN! *sob sob sob*. Excuse me while I go find a bucket I can throw up in."

You should feel ashamed for giving people grief when they are simply pointing out a fact. Just look at your drivel, nobody threw an "epic tantrum" over not having a gift. Jumping all over anybody you can and accusing them of feeling "entitled"... Really? Guess what, CCP themselves said there would be something in the redeeming system each day.... EACH DAY for 12 days... That means we ARE entitled to redeem something IN-GAME each day.

I dont think anybody here is really upset about not receiving a "gift"... I'd have been happy with a piece of coal. But they said there would be SOMETHING there each day, and today there wasn't.

Pointing out the facts and bringing this to CCP's attention is in no way improper. Put your lynching rope away.
