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.  |

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

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.

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. |

I can understand the op's disappointment. Those gift items are all easily obtainable in-game and older players already have most of those skills and items.
I would have liked an option to pick one of the various 'Collector' ships that have been introduced to the game in the past. I'm sure a lot of players have an incomplete collection and probably would love to complete their collection of ships, like the rarely seen Interbus shuttle or the new Quafe Industrial, etc.
As for this: A Paxist Treasure - Pax Ammaria - Collector's Item
It sounds interesting but due to lack of information, I don't see how it could be useful or used in-game by the player.
I remember when everyone got the 'Snowballs and Launcher'. That was a unique and excellent fun gift. Too bad it only lasted for a short time due to not being able to resupply the 'Snowballs' as well as them melting after a specific date. I still have pools of melted 'Snowballs' stored in station hangar, just waiting for another cold wave to sweep across the universe again.

Well, I kinda understand. It would be nice to have collectible options, aurums or the like instead. Mainly because well, I dunno, it really doesn't seem that neat or fun. Personally, aurum would be alright even, just a little bit or something. :s |

I agree with this but at the same time it is free stuff...
i've only been playing 2 years but i don't need a couple of free cruisers(of any race) or the skills to fly or equip it...
already use +3's on my newest characters so don't need the implants and have all the ore skill books...
don't have a shortage of crystals as i make my own.
and some random collectors item... that doesn't actually do anything
given no other option i was thinking of picking the pax ammaria cause of its possible resale value in the years to come
I'd prefer a free remap. with out asking for anything expensive or powerful

Just a clarification based on what I read on the gifts.
The drill bits gift set does not contain any Nocxium. It contains sets of mining crystals for every type of ore there is in New Eden.
Mining crystals are being used with modulated mining lasers/strip miners to give a better yield per cycle of the specific ore (if you are mining the specific asteroid). |

The mining crystals can be refined to give nocxium. |
