Having a login event that has 3 days rewards and is only 3 days long is just dumb. By the time your players all hear about it, most have missed the big end reward. ---

Yeah, normally they give more of a heads up, and give at least a day’s worth of wiggle room (i.e. 3 days worth of rewards that can be claimed over 4 days. Anyway, you might consider following the [official eve online twitter account](https://twitter.com/EveOnline?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor) to help you stay abreast of new events. @JuuR_Zibaoo Yeah, technically it does end on the 16th, but it will be at downtime. So, he won’t be able to claim another day’s rewards. ---

That’s one of the main problems with CCP, not posting the info on their own Official Forums. Players shouldn’t have to go to 3rd party sites just to be informed of events and other info pertaining to the game. ---

Also what’s with the progressive increase in SP’s for logging onto the site? It’s not like you actually have to enter the game. Alpha accounts get: Day 1 = 10k Day 2 = 10k Day 3 = 25k Omega accounts get: Day 1 = 10k Day 2 = 25k Day 3 = 50k ---

Personally don’t care. I have so many free SP from the past year that 25k or so more isn’t an issue. That said, in general, “bonus free giveaway events” are something a company does to make their players feel like they’ve received a special benefit for being active in the game, or to increase their satisfaction, or some other positive ‘public relations’ benefit. Only CCP could post a last-minute “free bonus giveaway”, notify players of it after it starts, send emails about it a day late when it is impossible to get the full rewards, give exactly 3 days to get 3 login rewards, and leave players with an impression that CCP either just doesn’t give AF about them, or is so incompetent that they can’t even manage to get a “player appreciation event” right. I mean, it’s not like people have other issues on their mind right now and aren’t checking EVE announcements 24/7, right? Is it really that hard to give 4 days to claim 3 rewards? It’s hard to turn a free giveaway into a public relations _negative_, but CCP apparently has people who are experts at it. On the other hand, if CCP needed a quick extra 20,000 logins to make this months incentive bonus from PA, then sure. The event probably worked fine. ---

No complaint for all the ones you made, huh. Actually it is the 4 day event that was coded as 3, you know, they call it a bug? Maybe read before you post. Today was supposed to be the last day, but yesterday was. [Next page](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/another-fail-event/225956.md?page=2)
