As a vet, these rewards give me zero motivation to play the game more than I normally would. What ever happened to getting cool stuff like vanity suits as event rewards? That is something I would play for. Its not even like they would have to create all new suits for it anyway. Just re-skin the stuff thats already there and maybe have a new configuration now and again.

I mean, how cool would it be to roll a cammo or matte black tank onto the field?
How about a full gold Amarr proto suit?

This just seems like a lazy way to say "See, we are doing stuff for the community"

Caldari prime was an event? An added backdrop on a map counts as an event? holy jezus I havent laughed this hard in a few weeks.

Snide Fail. 2/10

Caldari Prime was an event because:
- Proper Build Up - Between the RPG based stories published as well as CCP publicity
- Actual EVE/DUST Meaning - Was the first time that you saw DUST and EVE fighting around something of meaning
- The Backdrop - Yes, the pretty backdrop actually felt like you were doing something different than the usual pub matches. It added to the immersion of the event.

I disagree completelly, everyone in my corp laughed at it. Big deal if it was meaning full EVE side as well, it ment nothing in dust, NOTHING.

Icedslayer SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 128	Posted - 2013.09.25 16:23:00 - [1] - Quote So i just seen what events they got planned for October and to be honest the rewards are horrible. First of all all the Tier III Stuff is unusable by me, everything but the Amarr Tier II is unusable by me, And Tier I everything but the Gallente is unusable. So why should i even care about wasting my time to get into these event to get gear i can't use or i already have stockpile of? My Solution for events like this is give us redeemable tokens that allow use to buy a capped amount of officer gear. So for example if i meet the requirements for Tier 3 under minmatar i would get lets say 50 Officer tokens but if i spent that on Minmatar officer weapons i would get a 30% bonus to the amount of weapons i could get, but if i decided to spend it on lets a Balac Assault rifle i would would get no bonus to the total amount i could get. This keeps Vets that have 1000 proto suits ready to go and over 250 mill, interested in these events. Not only that it keeps Officer gear in cycle for a lot longer through PC battles. *Keep in mind this would be when they added Officer gear for every weapon

Aero Yassavi PIE Inc. Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 2237	Posted - 2013.09.25 16:51:00 - [7] - Quote I agree that if they insist on handing out rewards in such low quantities they need to create more officer-grade items including equipment and dropsuits along with weapons that don't have any and reward those during these events. The rewards they are offering now . . . most long time players who use these items buy them in batches of 100 in their sleep, and only because 100 is the most you can buy at one time. It's hardly something to get excited about. But offer us something we can't buy with ISK and then you'll see people start caring.

Funkmaster Whale 0uter.Heaven 692	Posted - 2013.09.26 12:43:00 - [19] - Quote I think this is a cool idea. We've been getting crappy event rewards ever since these things started. I haven't been excited to get on and play since the last triple SP rvent. Everything since has been so lackluster and boring it's just laughable. I appreciate them trying to come up with events to keep people interested, but these events seem to be so lazy it's just not even worth it CCP event team needs to step it up. We gave them feedback and they respond with "OK cool thanks guys, but we prefer to ignore you and continue on with our same crappy events."

Rynoceros Rise Of Old Dudes 819	Posted - 2013.09.26 13:04:00 - [21] - Quote Mordu's Challenge was fun. Straight up triple SP was the best. I don't trust any "event" that requires CCP to track the stats and send the rewards a week after the fact. Nonsense and shenanigans, every time. I want instant gratification. End of the match, throw some extras in my salvage or something. Now, I have to find some decent berries to squad with for the whole thing and then try queue syncing the berries into FW. Scotty, I curse you now.

Also not killed a state procurator suit last night felt great.
