Hi CCP, Thanks for operation frostline. Supposed to be this big deal where things were stolen and we go and get them back. 57 sites ran in wormholes, and I get clothes/quafe if that's all that was taken then this event was way overhyped. Bloodraider event was awesome. The accelerators were great. Operation frostline is a bust. Basically you get a t-shirt and a drink which would be cool if the drink got me drunk but it doesn't =ƒÿá. |

Totally agree.
The amount of time invested compared to the reward has been disheartening.
Blood raider event I felt as though I was accomplishing something positive for my character.
Frostline? Yea, I feel like more and more of an idiot with every one I do. |

If you don't like then then don't do them. when you run a successful event and then hype up another event and when people try it and say you know what I'm better off just doing my normal day to day operations then it is a little disappointing. What is the point of doing something like that if people see the site and say you know what I'm not going to run it and just move on. Sounds like there are some potential big drops, I've heard of officer loot, multiple character certs, Plex, hardwire implants. I can't confirm any of that, best I've seen is a vindicator bpc.

Seriously? The rng gods must hate you. I ran like 10 sites in highsec, got absolutely nothing special, then the moment I went into a wormhole got a frigate drone chip and a 4% medium hybrid damage implant. First 2 sites I ran.

No it's not a cosmic signature.

No I'm not entitled, CCP put out an event, hyped it up, and then doing the sites is an utter let down. CCP set the bar and expectations not me. |

Bring back the Yule Lads! At least they were entertaining and it was exciting logging each day to find out what cheezy gifts they had in store for us (more Fedos!). "Sansha Clause" would've been better...
I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Yeah, RNG hates you. I've only ran ONE site and I got a PLEX, other people have gotten GTC's and dual char training time cards as well as expensive implants.

was it hyped? well they wrote a whole dev blog on it and mentioned it a few other times.
that said with some of the drops that are possible you have to go low on the RNG, and that can result in a whole lot of nothing special. With the BR event most sites had loot, but with this one you can (supposedly) get a plex, and that is worth a bunch of the BR accelerators.

Even for someone like me, I'd probably get a plex faster via my domi grinding L4s. Too much competition in high, too much activity in the null region nearby for my liking.

I'm not going to say it should be a great isk maker. and/or directly comparable to regular isk making activities. But could probably use a wee bit more excitement than it currently has.

The fact the Tshirts have been a 100% item is the biggest let-down to me. As it means that people end up with hundreds of them. Quafe is nice as a reliable reward. Though more than 1 per can would have been better I can understand that the price at the start of the event was high enough to make that an issue. But clothing as an 'always' reward feels wrong as an incentive. Much like most people who did the Harvest events have a million Abaddon skins they will never use or sell.
Make 'always' rewards consumable items, like the Quafe & other boosters. Then you always have a use for them. |

How to satisfy all EvE players? You can't!
However: For that "operation Frostline" is very very easy, you have the --> CHANCE to get some really good stuff.
Hey, i mean PLEX! And other really good stuff... No way to get that in Omirs events.
OK, did not drop on my three tries, but it has chances.
Any idea how pathetic this whines are?

True.. but after over 40 sites and only the standard as loot it gets boring. |

Let's say.. something in the 20mio region? many times nothing and one time a jackpot is boring. better have often nothing, mostly something in the lower range and rarely something really expensive or rare |

They screwed up the rewards big time on this one.
Not only are the rewards bad for those who run them they are also bad for CCP.
The Serpentis shirts devalue all others t-shirts in the store. Them always dropping is poorly thought out as they could have been great if they were rarer.
So now you do a bunch of sites that drop next to worthless shirts that everyone will have. At least the Quafe is nice because it is perishable/destructible, but just a Quafe 90% of the time is very lackluster when you consider the hype around those sites.
The rewards are way too skewed toward the higher end, and are utterly terrible on the lower end.
Only way to save those sites as they are is to remove the shirts from it so they can recover from being worthless, and replace them with a more diverse array of loot so that you don't end up will all them dropping in value, like faction ammo, low-end faction modules, things that can at least be consumed/destroyed unlike a bunch of shirts.
Hit and a miss, so far CCP, hit and a miss |

they gave out clothing and skins for the blood raiders event as well... i have a feeling they don't care about devaluation. |
