You should feel ashamed for giving people grief when they are simply pointing out a fact. Just look at your drivel, nobody threw an "epic tantrum" over not having a gift. Jumping all over anybody you can and accusing them of feeling "entitled"... Really? Guess what, CCP themselves said there would be something in the redeeming system each day.... EACH DAY for 12 days... That means we ARE entitled to redeem something IN-GAME each day.
I dont think anybody here is really upset about not receiving a "gift"... I'd have been happy with a piece of coal. But they said there would be SOMETHING there each day, and today there wasn't.
Pointing out the facts and bringing this to CCP's attention is in no way improper. Put your lynching rope away.
No shame whatsoever. None. Not an ounce. No lynch rope, either. The fact is, it doesn't take much going through these forums at all to find people complaining about not getting free stuff, or not getting the free stuff they want/demand. So CCP shattered your expectations. And? Did you want somebody to cry for you? Hold your hand and tell you it'll be okay? You have yet to tell me why I should care about your own personal perception of what a gift is, especially one that comes from a company that is under no obligation to give you what you expect to be a gift. The fact is, at the end of the day, a 15% off sale is as much a gift from CCP as a lump of coal, really. We'd only be using the 'trash' option on it anyway, and there'd still be a whole lot of whining on the forums about that too. I guarantee it.
No, you don't dictate to me how I should feel, nor do you impress upon me the importance of your own personal morality or perceptions of what a 'gift' is. Do you know what CCP's greatest gift to me was this year?
The salty tears in these threads from people with single-minded ideas of what 'gift' should mean. CCP is under no obligation to knock 15% off the prices in their store for a period of 24 hours, but they did anyway, and maybe no one bought anything because their delivery fees are insanely stupid, but maybe somebody did and really appreciate that cost cut. Who knows?
My main point is, who cares? You? Why? You said it yourself, you'd have been satisfied with a lump of coal. But you can bet your very bottom damn dollar that somebody wouldn't have been, and if that's what we'd gotten, we'd be seeing a whole different thread here. And tomorrow, when the gifts roll in, there'll be a new thread by someone complaining about what they got or didn't get, and you can rest assured, I'll be there for that one too.
The fact is, I'm going to rip anyone and everyone that pisses and moans on the forums about their dissatisfaction with the free stuff they're getting, and I'm going to do that despite your judgements of me, because who even are you? I think I've picked lint from my belly button that I cared more about than you.
