Quote:What were you expecting? CCP to actually put in some :effort: instead of letting a RNG decide crap t1 junk. You mean like picking out a thematic set of components that you can put to use for various fun purposes? You mean like redesigning old rare items and handing them out? You mean like designing a new shuttle and handing it out? You mean like giving a little show and story behind the whole thing? You got exactly what you were expecting. So why are you whinging again? Quote:That help you at all? No, because you're hoping that repeating the same meaningless platitude will create depth and meaning to it. Well I guess this is simple where our opinions differ. Junk is junk. A shuttle is a shuttle. Fanboys will always defend their game. No amount of insults, or personal attacks will change that.
Please point to the personal attacks from tippia. Now I may not be able to refrain from sarcastic derogatory remarks when faced with the sheer whineyness of this thread but Tippia is clearly a stronger person than I, and for that I salute him. o7 |

REALLY??
Worst x-mas ever CCP.
How is this post not a rant? Seriously, CCP don't have to give you anything at all. As for the largest fleet battle, the "reward" for that was just being part of it. I don't think anyone was doing it to give CCP "publicity". It was an "I was there" moment.
Seriously why do you think that CCP owes you anything at all? You pay a monthly subscription, you get access to the game. A game which CCP constantly strives to improve and modify with varying degrees of success. What more do you want? |

Ok. I'll try 1 more time.
What's crap about them? It's randomized t1 junk. Stuff few people will actually use. (and before the "well I fit the mining upgrade!' good for you READ: few)
What were you expecting? Stuff inline with previous years, novelty items, collectables ect. (READ: not high isk value or titans, remember the donut holder?)
What on earth would have lived up to your unstated demands? Exactly, I never stated demands, that's something you have introduced to this thread not I.
I said "Crappy gifts are crappy" random junk stuff = crappy A shuttle (while it is special, and goes fast) is still a shuttle. |

It's free materials, free T2 stuff, free collectibles, free ISK and free AUR. How is it junk when it is all universally useful for anyone who redeemed it?
Or is it just that you, specifically, can't figure out what to do with it?
Quote:What were you expecting? Stuff inline with previous years, novelty items, collectables ect. So the exact same thing as we got this year, then.
Or are you just not familiar with what we got the previous years?
Quote:What on earth would have lived up to your unstated demands? Exactly, I never stated demands, that's something you have introduced to this thread not I. No, it's something you have had all along and which you've compared this stuff against to categorise it as GÇ£junkGÇ¥ GÇö a categorisation that is meaningless without a useful point of comparison. Now that you've provided that point of comparison, we can conclude that you're simply wrong, which explains why you were so unwilling to give it up.
Quote:I said "Crappy gifts are crappy" random junk stuff = crappy A shuttle (while it is special, and goes fast) is still a shuttle. None of it is junk; none of it is random; all of it is useful; most of it is novelty stuff and collectables; the shuttle is the same kind of ship that we've been given on every other occasion. Your complaint is uninformed, self-contradictory, and nonsensical. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

Quote:Tell me again how "most" of the stuff was rare/collectable I take it you never actually looked at what the lads were that gave you the stuff, even if it was just semi-common commodities.

lolz ... until today only my main with interceptor skills could travel anywhere in a reasonable time and that required an interceptor with hyper rigs just to get 12 AU/sec. The shuttle is awesome for anyone with low skill alts :D
It's not clear what sort of more advanced ship could be handed out without being unbalanced in the hands of newer players anyway.
As for the "free publicity" to be honest all this talk of ISK destroyed and biggest space battles this year seems to have turned more people off EVE than anything else. The perception out there is it a game specifically aimed at antisocial psychopathic types who have no real life and just play EVE all day and act like hoods from some sort of street gang :D

Okay, I'll give you that. As a unique item to people with negative security status a rotten potato would be neat. Along with the good EVE players getting a unique and useless item in return (like that fedo, perhaps).
Honestly, I've seen these gifts over the last 13 days as akin to those cruddy presents you get from your co-workers, usually from some 'secret Santa' bullshit everyone thinks is cute. Yeah, they aren't really flashy or even anything you'd ever want , but it's the thought that counts. And I did like the 'Yule Lads' theme. As one of those Ignorant Americans (tm) I thought it was neat to learn a bit about how other cultures celebrate Christmas.

Geez guys. The shuttle is actually far better of a present than a lot of stuff we've get for a while. Much like Zephyr (and a lot unlike reskinned T1 frigs or something), it has unique (if a bit limited) functionality so it's useful, people will fly them, they will pop from time to time, it's still limited issue ship so chances are, its price will go up if ship's value is all you are interested in.
For example, Zephyrs were peanuts when I was new, now they are almost the cost of a BC.
It's a great present, I don't see what's wrong with it.
I do think that seeding a lot of collectables to let people exchange them (like it was last year) is, perhaps, one of the most interesting ways to handle gifts, but what we've got this time is not bad at all too. Plus, I haven't know about Yule Lads mythos, and I do now. Btw, representations done by CCP guys were nothing short of great :) |
