I see the humor in them, but they are pretty useless gifts.
I give gifts each year to thank customers for their patronage, since its their choice to work with my company.
Personally these gifts are a weak way to thank its subscriber base. |

Some people just have no manners. Didn't your ol' mum ever tell you to say thank you?
The gifts are ultimately useless but amusing - like so many xmas gifts are in RL. I shall carry my unit of lag on all roams in the hope that it may guard against the real thing  "Human beings make life so interesting. Do you know that in a universe so full of wonders, they have managed to invent boredom." |

I love these. I already have a hangar full of fluff (exotic dancers, x-rated holoreels, spirits, various "how to" data chips, some boosters), and I'm probably going to buy more stuff from the contracts. Because, hey, what else can I do with my ISK?
Thank you CCP. |

I petitioned for a Christmas remap like I got last year. Was planning on remapping away from cha/will mapping I setup in September.....Yeah, no remap given yet. Would never have mapped this way if I knew I wasnt going to get another remap gift like last year =(
I also dont give a rats behind about these "collectables", even the scanning ship tbh. Ill give it all back for a remap And yes, I understand the humor behind all these items, but I dont care...I just wanted a remap =( |

Thanks CCP, The door key works like a charm.
I appreciate making the door key only available to the most dedicated players.

This is pathetic, people are complaining that their FREE gifts aren't good enough. We were given a few functional novelties and then some funny joke items to go with them. Seriously, grow the hell up. |

Who cares if they were free, they are useless; doing nothing but sitting in my cargo hangar? I already have the t2 scanning ship, no reason to use the t1 version, ever.
I want functional gifts. Perhaps something like they did last year when giving you the option of item packs like fuel block blueprints, ammo, ships, skillbooks, ect. This years gifts suck and CCP should feel bad. |

And why does what you want matter? This stuff is free, CCP isn't obligated to give out anything. |

I never assume I'm going to receive a gift so I'm thankful for what we were given.
That said, these fluff items are kind of like a holiday gift exchange where in addition to buying a $20 gift for someone at the office you toss a bunch of paper-clips, staples, and post-it notes into the gift box as well. I'm happy enough with the ship and the implant, we don't need the filler to sort through.
If CCP wants to create new holiday collectible items they could paint a red Rudolf nose on a special edition shuttle or something. Something we can look at that isn't just an icon in our hanger.
Not a criticism, just a suggestion. |

/oldpersonrant Remember the absolutely rabid trading that went on over little bitty pixelated snowglobes, that you only knew were different because you'd click on one and it'd have a different town/dungeon name? Then we got the bells omg they were different colours!...
Talk about absolutely useless fill up the limited slots junk....
OMG WE LOVED IT!!
Bring on the swag and fluff and crappy items and silly named stuff, it's ok some of us have a sense of humour!! (not the ones paying isk for this stuff, they ARE crazy :P)
You young people these days... wanting everything to DO something and be useful... :P |

Yeah, I agree with the majority. Thank you CCP for doing a little something extra special this Holiday Season.
However, I will mention that I didn't see a 'Get Out Of Jail Free' card included. You know, a one time use item to remove bounty.

@ people complaining about people complaing:
CCP put adverts everywhere for Xmas surprises and treat boxes. I imagine that's why most people that are voicing their discontent feel that way.
Personally I'm space rich so don't care about free gifts, although I would have liked free remaps. TBH these gifts are a waste of whoever's time was spent making them.

It is only in EVE Online where you can always find someone who is discontent about receiving free items and find ways to ruin Christmas spirit. |

The fact that you planned for an unannounced gift shows your failure to plan realistic. at best it was a gamble and a loss for you... Now you have to endure bad attribute setups. |

Some of them will accrue value.
And if people are silly enough to start flying the 4 ships with custom paint jobs around their value should go up rather quickly after the first few thousand are blown up. 
*Although collectors should keep in mind we have no indication these paint jobs will only be available once.
When you start making assumptions on what you will be given as a free gift and planning your actions accordingly you are setting yourself up for disappointment. Ask anyone who "expects" a Christmas bonus when their employer has had a particularly rough year financially. To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

For those of us who have been around a while, this ranting and raving is nothing new. Same year, same complaints about free stuff. Some of enjoy the game for what it is. Anything extra is a nice perk, not to be taken too seriously and certainly not seriously enough to whine and complain about. Just glad to be having fun in this little sandbox. |

I did think it might be the ore mining frigate, but irreplaceable collectibles and in-jokes are good presents imho.
