Joe SMASH You Got A Purty Mouth 37	Posted - 2011.12.12 23:57:00 - [1] - Quote Seriously? Great gifts, yes, I will not lie about that. However.... What about the people who make destroyers? What about the people who make POS fuel blocks? What about the people who sell implants with LP? What about the people who sell faction ammo with LP? All of the above people are getting boned by the promotions. CCP is breaking the sandbox by spawning items from magic GM powers that are normally player created and/or player seeded on the markets. This sets a very dangerous precedent for future NEX Store / promotions. The only thing on the list that is a true gift is the remap. Anything else is intentionally f*cking the people who normally work those markets. My $0.02, not trolling for once.
Zowie Powers Hole in the wall 17	Posted - 2011.12.12 23:59:00 - [2] - Quote Caring about this game is so 2006.
K Suri Red Gooey Bananas 51	Posted - 2011.12.12 23:59:00 - [3] - Quote It IS a troll. And a bad one. Go have a lie down.

Because they don't suck and actually exist this year. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the ho's and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!' and I'll look down, and whisper 'no.'
Potamus Jenkins The Lucky Bible Company 24	Posted - 2011.12.13 00:02:00 - [5] - Quote then do your duty to your fellow community and dont claim your gift. your conscience is clear friend
Potamus Jenkins The Lucky Bible Company 24	Posted - 2011.12.13 00:03:00 - [6] - Quote you are aware that ccp gave out literally thousands of t1 cruisers last year right? did the t1 cruiser market crash?

The gifts will have zero impact on markets. Oh, and if you take any of the medium or large ammo's feel free to contract them to me. I use the sh!t, I don't sell it. :)

Joe SMASH You Got A Purty Mouth 37	Posted - 2011.12.13 00:16:00 - [10] - Quote Obviously I'm in the minority. I just don't think it is right. Sure, the gift don't suck. I'm not arguing that. However they do break the sandbox in a way and set precedence on future CCP actions. Take that for what you will... it's my opinion. I went with the remaps anyways.
Skydell Space Mermaids 12	Posted - 2011.12.13 00:21:00 - [11] - Quote Back in 2005 I used to collect criminal dog tags. They were useless and people all but gave them away. Then camp LP and some of those dog tags were going for 8 mill each. Yes, I made billions. Aurum is junk. Today. How long do you plan to play EVE?
Corina Jarr Spazzoid Enterprises Purpose Built 87	Posted - 2011.12.13 00:23:00 - [12] - Quote I'm going for the faction torps. Might last me a few days. Impact on market... negligible as once I'm out, I have to start buying again.

Tippia Sunshine and Lollipops 2028	Posted - 2011.12.13 00:25:00 - [14] - Quote GÇªbecause the offers of stuff that already exists on the market is less valuable than the ones that offer (slightly) unique or different items, so no-one in their right mind will go for those. 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¥ If not, contact Miss DSA to shed your wardecs.

While I agree with your valuation of the items, I think you vastly over estimate the general intelligence of some of the players.
Resivan Driftglass Development 1	Posted - 2011.12.13 00:30:00 - [16] - Quote With the exception of the fuel block BPOs and the hanger decorations, all the gift items are things that will be used up in short order. They give the noobs free samples, Because they know full well, That today's young wanna be pirates, Will be tomorrow's clientele.
Hikaru Kuroda Shimai of New Eden N E X O 10	Posted - 2011.12.13 00:57:00 - [17] - Quote Take the neural remap, no one will be hurt that way.
Herzog Wolfhammer Sigma Special Tactics Group 296	Posted - 2011.12.13 00:58:00 - [18] - Quote Let's all have a vote on something to rage about this week. I vote that we rage about there not being something in this game. Here are some ideas: Ponies Puppies Kittens Launchers for ponies, kittens, and puppies Wet Bar in the CQ. Hookers in the CQ (unless the backstory says that clones are rather, uh.... lacking...) Pimp clothes in the Nex. Mac Daddies sound off The fact that the only cool Intaki hairdo since they got rid of the mullet make us look like Snape Why I can't hang around in the CQ in my undies and dirty t-shirt Where is Scotty? CCP Santa Claus Fleet giving out toys to all the good players..... oh wait.... there are no good players
mkint 445	Posted - 2011.12.13 01:02:00 - [19] - Quote In principle, yes I'm pretty upset. In practice, there is a wide enough variety of offerings that I don't think it will really affect any markets. Only the booster producers are at much risk, and since they are all nullbear CCP catamites, who cares.
Noriko Mai 337	Posted - 2011.12.13 01:04:00 - [20] - Quote Here is a bit I found.
Crystal Liche ACME Mineral and Gas 41	Posted - 2011.12.13 01:05:00 - [21] - Quote Do your part to uphold the ecomony. Pod people Don't pod me bro!

I make a good bit of isk selling faction ammo and i have no problems with the gift selection. If anything i won't sell any for a few weeks, and instead buy at the rock bottom prices, and sit on it until the market comes back up on it.

Morganta Peripheral Madness The Midget Mafia 539	Posted - 2011.12.13 01:40:00 - [24] - Quote really its a few free ships and implants, the ammo is pretty meaningless, a small bump in a brisk market I kind of see it as a way to encourage pvp, its all oriented to combat for the most part, then vanity then temporary buffs and ammo don't want to risk that set of +3s, well here's another, go get podded wanna try the new destroyers? have a few, burn em up, we'll even throw in the ammo, and you'll get back the hull value if insured wanna run that extra tough mission? have a buff or if nothing else, here's some ammo the fuel BPs make sense as most people serious about fuel wont be buying it in jita anyway and will buy the npc seeds shuttles? who cares? think you're god? well put on a suit for christ's sake. The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy
Krios Ahzek Juvenis Iratus 296	Posted - 2011.12.13 01:44:00 - [25] - Quote Yeeeess neural remap Now when I finish training every skill with operation, management and upgrades in its name, I can actually remap and start training spaceships and gunnery at unretarded speeds for the next 9 months. Do not take me for some conjurer of cheap tricks.
Forum Fighter Internet Tough Guys 20	Posted - 2011.12.13 01:52:00 - [26] - Quote Dude. Read your thread title. Outrage. Gift. Entitlement much? You must be a 99%'r. Bearer of the 1600mm Tinfoil Hat -¬

Jake Peters the Organ Grinder and Company Higginbotham and Bailey's Circus 2	Posted - 2011.12.13 03:03:00 - [30] - Quote Thank you for the Christmas gift CCP...the remap will do very nicely!
