Rant to follow:
Day 12 has come and gone, but with an e-mail from CCP yesterday announcing new special gifts I had to logon.
The E-Mail looks like it's promising the world:
The e-mail and the update site info gave very conflicting messages.....
When I read the e-mail I was left wondering were the 12 days of Christmas redeemables really the 12 days of Christmas. The special items in this new 'phase' are exactly the same and the "12 day's" redeemable items so really its the '18 days of CCP deciding to give you random items based loosely on a yearly holiday/seasonal/religious + New Years event'.
I wish I'd known that from the start. the daily login required for the "12 days" now sucks as I can get the same items albeit in a random order over the next 6. Or cheaper on the in game market on Jan 1st 2017. CCP taking random to the next level.
Special is not special if CCP can give the items away again and again and again like each time is the first.
And where are the new redeemable items, this new pack to collect... They say it's available "now". It's not in my redeeming system.
As for these new items being special.... Take the 12th day items, the SKIN giveaway was new for this year but in this event it was so random and repeated it looses it's special nature. Special for this new phase I think not. As for the festive launcher and the snowballs to fire from them they were years in repeating. Not special at all.
This all leaves me even more confused about the items and the way they were done.... the randomness again, crazy.
Take the free shit and shut up I hear you cry.... I would if the items had meaning. The daily login for 12 of the days was a waste time and effort just so that CCP can say their player logon numbers were great over this period of time.
Dont' let me start again on the e-mail notification to promote a set of "special" items that are not redeemable when they say go redeem them "now".
