Check out this news item for more information on the gift, as well as how to... Seriously CCP? This would have made sense on Day 1, but now after 9 days, what’s this about? Is there something your actions say and your words don’t? Maybe the stellar feature of the expansion has fizzled prematurely? Maybe explorers aren’t bothering with high volume, low value filaments? I repeat, this made sense on Day 1, but, now after 9 days? What’s going on that’s worth crashing the market this way? ---

1 filament per active player should be like 50-60,000 filaments at once, depending on how and when those are redeemed and sold. It’s not a small number. ---

On day one may the new stuff still show some issues. So to be absolutely certain does it make sense to wait a few days to see what issues pop up, and when nothing shows to give everyone a free ticket. Or imagine what it would be like if you gave everyone a free ticket on the first day and there’s trouble. 🕶 ---

They are only terrible tier 1 filaments which were already super cheap anyway, so crashing the market for new players seems more like a benefit to me as it means its easier for them to buy the filaments 😛 ---

Something about a gift horse and not looking in a certain area??? I mean you get a free gift. You don’t want it, save it for a month or two and sell it for more profit. Or if bored, do a little research, get a fit that may work, and enjoy. But complain as if s free gift is bad? Really? 🤨 ---

There are only 200 Abyssal “instances” at any given time. That means out of the 30,000 players online at peak time, less than 0.7% of the playerbase are running Abyssal content… ---
