When my subscription runs out in a month or so I'm almost certainly going to stop playing Eve (unless I have so much fun in the next month I change my mind - always possible). However, unlike many people I will be giving my stuff away, but only to noobs.
Anyways, what I wanted to know was...
I realise you're not allowed to can bait in starter systems, but what happens if you are not can baiting but genuinely giving stuff away? Are you allowed to drop stuff in cans and let other people pick it up, without shooting them afterwards?
If so (and official clarification would be nice), I'm going to visit all the starter systems over a three or four day period and deposit lots of valuable Christmas presents in cans for noobs to have. However, if this is not possible then I need another way of doing it. I suppose I could go for a 'Santa's grotto' sort of thing via trading in a station, but the idea of actual presents is more appealing...
Is this possible, and what is the best way to do it? I've got about 2Bn in presents if I go through with it.
Ideas gratefully appreciated :)

Edited by: PerrinAybarra on 12/11/2008 22:51:19 start an event in local then gang up the participants and then go set your gifts around the system. in fact use anchored secure cans then only give the gang members the password to it.

You can drop cans all you like in front of any starter station you wish as long as you don't shoot the newbs when they take from it.

Well that's cool of you to do.. But just one thing: Watch the race of the system you drop stuff, hm? IE don't drop an armor repper in a caldari system, you'll just confuse some poor noob and have then spend a bunch of time working towards armor tanking. ![Laughing](/images/icon_lol.gif)

No, that'll make it a challenge, especially if there are players near the cans when you do it.
Besides, you have no idea which character I'm going to do it with or when, so I'm up for the challenge if you are :)

No, I'll be dropping generic stuff that's useful to all races, i.e. implants or something similar.

Edited by: Sheriff Jones on 13/11/2008 08:03:06 Don't take this the wrong way(get it? ), but if you do decide to give me some items, even lower ones, i'll be sure to put it in my "give new guys a break" donation schedule with your name added to the list of contributors.
It's only a small pond with me being a small fish, but i'm hoping this venture will grow to give mroe new people more stuff to help them get hooked...err...enjoy EVE like we all do ![Very Happy](/images/icon_biggrin.gif)
On the question, you can always hold ocmpetitions and then contract/deposit prices to people. More events = happier players.

After a Eve University demonstration in a starter system, I got the bright idea of giving out freebies. Brought in a hauler full of goodies for the new players, and attempted to trade them items in station, asking in local who wanted each item.
Almost no one would take the stuff. They're so damn paranoid I had people shouting in local "Don't take anything! It's a trap!"... even though I'm trading it... not jetting it. ![Rolling Eyes](/images/icon_rolleyes.gif)
Only a few players stepped up, and they ended up taking the whole lot. And I decided it wasn't such a good idea in practice.
Good luck. Sometimes you can't even give stuff away. ![Laughing](/images/icon_lol.gif)

This is because everyone in EVE thinks every free stuff is like an old man telling you there's candy in that there cargo container;
"Yeees. Little bit further, reach in there, it's at the very bottom, oh yes *ziiiiip*"

you will end up with a group of leechers following you around trying to pick up every can you drop.
go to the starter systems in one region and open a trade with each person in the list in station instead.
if you click on them as you go so their portrait appears you know who you have already given stuff to.
