How can you not get this, dude?
For doing diddly squat, Jimmy gets something that kick's ass (scout suit w/ 2 light weapons slots), and that you CAN'T buy no matter how much ISK you have (and can one day probably be sold for 10s of millions per suit)
For busting your ass and sticking with a game that's a serious kick in the nuts on a daily basis, you get.... nothing
Too complex?
How about this: Jimmy get's a Ferrari and you get a nice big glass of shut the hell up.

I play a ambush every 20mins I can get like 3 per hour. so. 5 hours a day is 15 rounds of 150k. I get about 2,250,000 isk a day and that is 5 weeks. So its 78,750,000 isk in just 35 days pretty much double that for 60 days. Then there is the SP. You get 1,440,000 SP on passive alone! Not to mention the potential of getting another 15k SP a day from just doing Ambush. I get around 2k per game being lazy and 4k if Im good. DO the math. For those who play the game for 60 days you get 3,700,000 SP and around 160,000,000 ISK! I feel like that is about even. Hahaha
No dude - you forget one key part of your equation.
How much time did you spend for your rewards?
Now, how much time did the in-actives spend for theirs.....?
Uh, huh.... not that damn even.

You are right.
Yeah, I know.

I would take the extra isk and sp thank you by a long shot.
That's cool, for the time investment if it's worth it to you then it's worth it to you. Just a matter of individual priorities.
Spirit Charm wrote:
I swear. Some ppl get butt hurt for no reason.
Well, not exactly no reason. The reason would be CCP offering items not available in game only to folks that have already given up on this game. These items require no skill pre-reqs to use and are better than standard suits (speaking about the BE suit). For those that stockpile these will likely be worth a pretty penny when the player trading opens up as an added bonus. Say each suit is conservatively worth 500k ISK... that's what, $100M for doing squat for 2 months? I'm guessing each suit will be worth over a Mil....
But, if you think that's no reason, meh.... I'm actually not really that surprised.... |

Nah - it wasn't. You know I'm right on dude. Search your feelings, you know it to be true. Nope. Who cares? its important to make the player base larger and more rich with diversity. Vet players will have huge amount of SP and isk over new players. This is simply a way to get players that tried it and didnt like it to return. If it brings more ppl to the game. I say im all game for it. If your against DUST growing then maybe you shouldnt be playing it.
Nah, it's cool. I'm all for bringing players back to Dust, and bringing new players into the game. I just think it's whack that they are being rewarded more than those that have stuck through the hard times. Even if I wanted to purchase those dropsuits with ISK or AUR I can't even do that.... (it would be even better if I could get them as rewards) but CCP gives them away for free to people that already bailed out. And a lot of them too.
You can say that SP and ISK is it's own reward, and it is in it's own sense, but that was earned with time, patience and effort, it wasn't handed out. (Sure passive SP is handed out, but to both active players and in-actives alike, thereby having no real bearing on the argument).
But in the end if it brings them back it is a good thing, this I agree with absolutely.
