Are you kidding? That shuttle rocks!

Want to burn through losec like a ghost, untouchable by anything? Want a ship that makes regular shuttles look like a nullsec tidi blob-war sleep-inducing YouTube video?

Getting blueprints in and out of those losec research stations has never been easier.

<3 Leopard

You were an only child, weren't you.

I for one like my causality bendingly fast shuttle.

EDIT: Seriously OP, what the hell is wrong with you?

So out of all of these great events that we participated in, what did you do to deserve anything out of it?

A lot, mostly disappointment though.

Largest battle in Eve history. - made news out of game (free publicity)

Largest isk lost battle in eve history. - made news out of game (free publicity)

Raising $190k for Plex for good - (World news, and even got you a meeting with the president of Iceland) (MEGA publicity)

Thanks CCP for what you gave us. The real reason for Christmas and for our season is still Jesus Christ our savior who later died on the cross for all of mankind so that they who are and were sinners would go to heaven.

CCP is showing that love in what they gave to us. They didn't have to do it. but they did. It might be a small thing to some but to all it is something.

thanks mates and have a very Merry Christmas.

Please keep your flying spaghetti monster stories to yourself.

I'm somewhat amazed at how terrible a person you can be over a video game.
Those battles happened because CCP provided the medium for them to happen. CCP has every reason to brag about it. Yes, it wouldn't have happened without the players, but that is what those that participated were here for right? To be in a game provided by CCP that allows those things to happen. Those were just as much highlights of their continual work for the product they serve us as it was an event for them to brag about.

This is your reason for giving? Just to get stuff back? Given the reason for the charity that's really all sorts of messed up.

Please keep your flying spaghetti monster stories to yourself.

Someone is getting a visit by 4 ghosts tonight.

Please fly your "untouchable" shuttle in jita, or take it through the rancer pocket and we'll see how "untouchable" it is.

You are "entitled" to nothing. Your assumption that you are makes you just look like mommies lil' princess... and I don't care if you are a guy or not.... but who knows with an avatar like yours.

Actually I gave because I had space-money that could help out in RL, but that doesn't change the fact that CCP will use this for years to come as a point of pride and advertising.

Would it have really been that hard to make the gifts something good, or even special?
Remap
CA implants
Anything other than t1 junk
And a shuttle as the big reveal?... please

/effort

... well considering that before I used to use shuttles to zip in and out of losec all the time. Never had a problem. Only ships small enough to lock a shuttle before it's in warp are the ones small enough for the gate guns to actually nuke. The ships big enough to tank the gate guns were too slow to lock my shuttle.

And that's a basic shuttle. Ok in theory someone could certainly tweak a cruiser or whatever for max lock speed, but then they sacrifice the all important DPS and tank. No one I ever saw went that route, and I don't blame them. Besides, only ten year old "lulz" nitwits would even care in the first place.

Now multiply that by "Leopard" and again, as I said before, you're a ghost. They'd have better luck trying to tag a covert ops ship.

And Jita? It's a shuttle, not a freighter. You're getting your ships confused.

Rancer? Maybe, but I honestly don't give a crap about Rancer so who cares?

Oh, and this is the part where you try to convince me that you're actually just the alt of some uberskilled Titan pilot with trillions of ISK and quadrillions of SP who's seen, done and knows everything about everything.

Well kids, I'm not a pro. And that's my point. These things are simple. So simple, in fact, that even a novice like me can pull it off. So spare us the e-peen ego trip. This is EvE and there's always a bigger ego than yours out there who can spout even more bragging BS about how leet they are.

This isn't about leet. This is about running like a bunny and not getting caught. And the Leopard is very, very good at this. So I like it.

This is irrelevant. If you give, then genuinely give. Not as some moral collateral, leverage or something to hold over someones head. It entitled you to none of the stuff you wanted, nor to any of the things you actually got.

And just as with all the prior gift ships this is special in that it is unique and limited in quantity and similarly function. The only exception being a ship given out to celebrate 10 years of EvE's existence, something similarly unnecessary on CCP's part. Technically this shuttle is better in function than the 5 year gift shuttle despite that being a milestone more worthy of recognition for the game.

Never said I was "entitled" to anything...
Just said CCP did a crappy job this year.

a bunch of personal attack drivel

Believing that they should have given you anything better or anything at all is an act of "Entitlement Syndrome". CCP could always have done "better" but doing so would have likely ruined the game for a great many people for something that amounts to a single shot event. The game dynamics have not really changed and we all got to participate in a neat event that exposed most of us to a new form of culture. It was all voluntary and had a form of enticement that you get when you gamble. That is it. Really anything else would have changed things so dynamically within Eve Online as to cause an outcry in the other direction and by a lot more people.

I don't know, took part in all of them?

Wrote blogs/streamed the events?

Created content for players and viewers?

Pick one.

Please learn to read, never said entitled, never said deserved because of anything.

Said, crappy gifts are crappy, and one would think after such a good year CCP could have put in some effort

You didn't have to say it. It's incredibly clear from the logic presented. You stated things that you felt were done for CCP as justifications for your complaints. You did NOT just say the gifts were crap, though that was there in addition to your exclamation of a great year for CCP and directly related it to your complaint about the gifts. It's right in the OP for all to read, that you feel some ingratitude from CCP despite what was done by the players. That statement is directly equivalent to stating you felt owed something for those acts, else there was no reason for your disappointment being compared to the action of the players.

Never said I was "entitled" to anything...
Just said CCP didn't give me what I felt I am entitled to.

Fixed.

Cause they "ruined the game" last year
and the year before that
and for the 10 year anniversary - gnosis

Still you have to admit, compared to years past, this year was pretty crappy.

12 days of random junk then a shuttle?

REALLY??

Thanks for your addition to this discussion...

I disagree with you so you should leave... WAAAAAA!!!



Mr Epeen

What discussion? This is a whine thread, take a step back and look at what you've been saying and accept it.

Grow up

Grow up

Coming from someone who has nothing better to do at 4 am GMT on the 25th of December than complain on the internet about his virtual gifts being insubstantial?

Highlighted the important part, because you have no idea what your talking about. Also, your grammar sucks. Please go back to real life school. Thanks.

~snip cause clutter~

because there is only 1 timezone, and I couldn't possibly be doing other things at the same time...

If irony were painful you wouldn't be able to post at this point.

... and so would ccp mintchip greeting cards.

GǪ

Oh no, he insulted my grammar..... can't take it.....gonna cry....

Unlike nullsec, where bots guard the gates 23/7 in task forces specifically designed for every contingency (read: catching anything that moves, regardless of size)

I wasn't insulting your grammar. I was insulting your intelligence as a whole... or rather your lack thereof. Shall I move on to your face, next? Or your simplistic mentality? Your pathetic self-righteousness born from a crippling sense of insecurity that drives you to become a 3rd rate internet troll, because that's the only place where you can spew your venom without fear that someone will just slap the acne right off of your fifteen year old face? Or should I spare you from pointing out that you are the most absolutely common, generic, bland type of walking human sadness that pollutes the planet with their presence? That there is nothing special, nothing original, and absolutely nothing important about any aspect of your existence and that when that existence finally comes to it's natural end many years from now that absolutely no one on this planet will even notice, let alone care?

Should I do that?

And why would I say those things? To get the ISD to lock the thread and, through that, put an end your spoiled, bratty whine-a-thon. A clever tactic, yes?

Oh and "tactics" - look it up sometime.

Probably would have been easier for you just to say you've never been there.

P.S. you need a time machine to go back to my 15 year old acne covered face, and watch out, I wasn't anywhere near as stable as I am now

Again: what were you expecting?

What we've been given here is in line with what we've been given every christmas. In fact, the unusual usefulness of this year's gifts makes it above and beyond what we usually get. So what the hell are you whinging about other than your own inability to make use of the stuff and your inability to articulate anything that even remotely resembles a coherent complaint?

12 days of random junk then a shuttle?

REALLY??


Way to treat your customers after a great year:

Largest battle in Eve history. - made news out of game (free publicity)

Largest isk lost battle in eve history. - made news out of game (free publicity)

Raising $190k for Plex for good - (World news, and even got you a meeting with the president of Iceland) (MEGA publicity)

All of that just for you to skimp out on x-mas and give out worthless junk.

Worst x-mas ever CCP.

Sorry I offend the fanboys who think CCP can do no wrong.

Whiners will always whine. Hate to see what you're like in real life OP if you're whining over some gifts in a game.

...Quite a few people here, including Tippia and myself, have been very vocal critics of CCP. It's not warranted here. You're just stupid.

Sorry I offend the fanboys who think CCP can do no wrong.

I'm not "articulate" enough to express my thoughts so..
I'll stop "whinging" now.

wish we could block asshats on the forums

/goons

Oh noes.. big words....
um....
um...
crap!

REALLY??

Just don't read or reply to it?

Hi it's me again, I know you missed me and all. Now I did say I was gone from this thread but frankly I lied... consider it the dramatic exit without the 'exit'.

You realize how terrible of a reply that was to a legitimate argument? Like even worse than this one and that's saying something... Again struggling to see this 'discussion' you are having.

That means a lot coming from someone named "I love boobies"

better yet, why don't you BIOMASS yourself and bug you parents more

So THAT is a legitimate argument but me thinking CCP's gifts are crap isn't?

When all you can do to disagree is insult people, you have no argument.

And what's wrong with his? I'm sure his name accurately reflects his love of breasts.

So THAT is a legitimate argument but me thinking CCP's gifts are crap isn't?
What have you added to the discussion other than insults?

Crappy gifts are crappy. Disagree fine, want to express that disagreement, great.
When all you can do to disagree is insult people, you have no argument.

Yes. Largely because saying they're GÇ£crapGÇ¥ is meaningless. What's crap about them? What were you expecting?

So you agree that you have no argument then. That explains why you can't answer a simple question.

What's crap about them?
T1 junk and a shuttle.

What were you expecting?
CCP to actually put in some :effort: instead of letting a RNG decide crap t1 junk.

That help you at all?

also IB4L cause you'll know it will happen

Yes (actually, no, but I'm being nice here and letting that slide)? And what's crap about them?

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?

No, because you're hoping that repeating the same meaningless platitude will create depth and meaning to it.

Junk is junk.
A shuttle is a shuttle.

No amount of insults, or personal attacks will change that.

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.

Worst x-mas ever CCP.

Of course it is. Few things exposes it as constantly grinding away at its failure to articulate its case.

Because no one would ever disagree with the "fine upstanding" people in this thread?

Plenty do, all the time. They're just (occasionally) capable of articulating their disagreement.

So, again: what's crap about them? What were you expecting? What on earth would have lived up to your unstated demands?

Sounds like somebody is bitter that the Yule Lads left them a rotten potato . . .

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.

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.

Not sure what to make of your certainty regarding the target area of theoretical irony pains.

tried to reword everything you said to make in more inline with your own opinion

the shuttle (it's still a shuttle)

the fedo (novelty/collectable)

Tell me again how "most" of the stuff was rare/collectable

Just FYI:
the shuttle (it's still a shuttle)

a rotten potato would have been cool compared to light ecm drones, or a cargo expander, or a t1 probe launcher

dear ccp next year do nothing, show this guy what he is entitled too.

better yet, randomly take 1 ship from everyone, show this guy what eve is all about, for real, what he really deserves

I don't know, took part in all of them?
