If I count the posts about, it must be … but you know people lie about money. 
Sure, I’m also strictly against new faucets, all rewards should be items. The Rogue Drone was OK from PvP perspective and you could make good profit during the first 2-3 days from skins (due to an oversight of CCP), and from the boosters.
The gold standard for me is still the Blood Raider event, a consumable item of high demand, but last time with a nice twist. The booster validity was 2 weeks longer than the event and supply. This helped keeping the price reasonable high during and after the event.
For the future I would propose an additional twist, make the drop chance significant higher in Lowsec. Highsec, Nullsec and Wormholes can be easily farmed, and Lowsec needs some blood infusion …

@CCP_Dragon can you comment fresh changes in Singularity_Next (Build: 1159778) ?
“destroy 50 of their (Drifter) ships within 24 hours will receive a generous token of the Amarr Empire’s appreciation.”
Ships parameter includes:
- Autothysian Lancers (old Circadian Seekers)
- Circadian Seekers (seekers on training sites)
- Drifter Battleships (Artemis Tyrannos, Apollo Tyrannos and Hikanta Tyrannos)
If not - read my first post.
" and destroy a Drifter battleship while piloting a frigate" - It is olw Shadow of the Serpent task. You have statictics, gow many times has it been done? Because kill a Drifter Battleship on a frigate… i`m not an Ethan Hunt (but know how to do it this some tricks and losses)
Cruiser. Better then frigate. But hard anyway.
All of this - Old Serpentis stuff, but in this The Agency variant we can`t reject tasks.

From my understanding, this auto-booster is supposed to help you complete the Agency stuff faster, but you only get it after reaching that reward tier.
If you are already doing the thing, then this booster should help you be faster, but only for agency stuff. If you are not doing the thing, then you dont get this auto-booster, and it makes no sense to have an item of this nature on the market.
So please quit blasting the Devs, and STFU. If you dont want it, then dont do the event.
Doesnt change the fact its an login reward, which… is unliked by a lot of people.

Don´t get me wrong, but it is not one of the brightest ideas to motivate players to log in with that kind of stuff.
People will log-in, do that daylie quests and don´t give a damn about the rest of the game.
This is not WOW, this is a niche-MMORPG.
From my position as a CEO: It can damage the community, it can damage corporations and alliances, because people who log in with the only motivation and intent to farm some stuff from something like that and log off again are quite not so useful. Either for the game nor for a corp or an alliance. To say that blunt.
EVE ist all about effort and risk/gain. Messing with that is dangerous. I already saw in other games what can follow after that and I don´t have any intention to see that here to happen again.
By the way, we can read and know what “we are just testing new methods” means. That does not change the fact that the current iteration somehow is daily-like, something a lot of people will… dislike.
I would like to have an event that encourage people to play the different parts of the game.
So missions like “finish a data|relic|combat|sleeper|ghost site in HS|LS|NS|WH” or “we need two megathrons, 16 heavy blasters and 2 stasis graplers” or "gather data from 16 different agents in those 16 stations"
would be kinda better than the serpentis shipyards which were “kill 20 ennemies” IIRC…
Also having missions that require fleet (at least two DPS and logi bro) and/or probe & point of an elusive target would be a nice improvement over “go there, shoot that”
- for fleet you need to get a mix of neut+web+paint. with enough DPS to prevent passive drake/rattle tanking, but no point to let people not prepared escape.
- for elusive target it would be good if the target warped after 10s to one of several (let’s say 5) possible pockets. the pockets would not be reachable by a gate but require a combat probe. First warpin would make the target warp off at once, requiring the prober to BM up to the 5+1 pockets in order to catch the target.
Of course if DScan was usable to better probe it would even enhance the mission.

If you don’t like dailies - don’t participate. If “a lot” of people don’t like it and choose not to participate as a result, CCP will get the message.
On the other hand, opposition was quite vociferous last time but most players took advantage of the 10K SP bonus - actions speak louder than words!
These are personal challenges - you’re not going to get anything intended for a fleet.
I expect challenges and rewards offered on TQ will be quite different from what we’re seeing on Singularity. Half of us are up there test driving T3 cruisers so drifters are probably reasonable opposition!

Because SP is still the most valuable asset in EvE, people felt obliged.
Well, on a scale like this not participating is… well. Maybe they just think we didnt like the type of challenges or something - who knows.
There was a reason why CCP removed dailies. It would lead to burn out. Incentive was too good to not to do it, but it feeled like second job. Every feature that kills sandbox should burn in fire. If there is a need for personal challenges in EvE then we have a problem. I should accomplish my personal goals in the sandbox not goal made by devs. There is no difference between this and WoW “bring me 5 boar shanks”.

Wasn’t it more like 4-5 weeks past the event? I remember the event ending in the 1st week of November and the boosters expiring in the first week of December.
Was nice that you didn’t have to sell the boosters earned in the last few days of the event for almost nothing.

Don’t forget ol’ Arithmos Tyrannos!
Maybe, don’t remember the exact times.
… it was even nicer to buy extra stock at 10M midterm
does this event come with deadspace sites that are warpable again? pretty plzzzzz?
Passed it along to the lorehounds, hope you guys are prepared for the nerd squad 
In any case, good luck with the concept, I really hope it catches on and turns out to be an interesting and versatile avenue of engagement.
Holy ■■■■■■■ duck sauce. CCP is twisting my arm and making me log and and force feeding sauerkraut down my throat. Boo hoos!"
Is this system better than the last legion of event systems? Who knows. But I wanna give @CCP_Dragon a shout out for asking questions, so he can better understand the whiny people.
Boosters are the mechanic EVE has.
Does it need more work! Sure. Is it perfect no. But it gets people into space which is where the content is.
And CCP isn’t twisting any arms. You don’t like it. Don’t log in.
Ah man, I’m gonna be rich!
