I’m not sure what you guys could give us that’s better than this stuff but I liked the scales rewards like during events where logging in for consecutive days got you better and better rewards. Why not throw in a praxis or something? Random skillpoint rewards scaled on how many days you log in… i dunno. I do like the 150k you can collect at the end. Maybe make that faster?
The only thing worth redeeming is the SP, the rest of the “rewards” are useless and are binned by almost every capsuleer upon redemption, please remove them.

I think CCP is missing a bet with the time-limited ship skin login bonuses. They should have made available a token that one could use to convert the 7-day or 30-day ship skins to permanent, and sell the tokens in exchange for Plex in the Eve Store. Some of the skins look cool, and I’m sure others might want to keep them if they didn’t waste away so quickly.

But then players would want the SKINS to be sellable. That would make them lose their value and that makes CCP sad.
Honestly, the rewards (outside of the skillpoints) are just god awful. Having some of the rewards being possibly meaningful but low impact would be nice. If the pool of rewards had cheap and easily grabable things like cheaper skillbooks and cheap 0/0 bpos, I think at least some people would be excited occasionally.
I know early on, I would have been more excited to get a hobgoblin bpo or an Amarr frigate skillbook than anything I’ve seen in these rewards.
Inventing says researched the BPCs are good
Well I just take the BPC’s and lob them in my BPO hanger for future use, the skins that are not time limited are taken and the others ignored, the boosters have been used a few times. I have used the SP to get some alts up to speed, I have a mining alt that on my second account that completed all the hisec ore T2 crystals now and is now working on T2 ice mining drones.
Me thinks too many people just like complaining and will take the opportunity to snipe at those that don’t have an issue with this, like the wonderful DMC.

The issue isn’t that the rewards suck (which is entirely subjective), but that there’s an unnecessary hassle required to obtain them.
CCP wants players to play their game, right? Well, if I’m playing on one character and enjoying it, having to log in on 5 other characters to claim the rewards is an unnecessary hassle, and won’t make me play the game more. I won’t just go “oh, well since I logged into these alts, I might as well keep them around and have a little tea party!” No, it’s just taking five minutes out of my day to go through these motions, which is annoying, and CCP isn’t getting anything out of it either, because these rewards aren’t actually leading to a higher logged-in player count. No one’s saying that rewards have to go away, but they can certainly be improved, such as by making them go into the queue automatically, and not have an expiration timer.
The legitimate argument against the rewards themselves (as they are now), is that all of the ones that aren’t skins are actually devaluing those items on the in-game market.
To be fair…
And only to be fair, no one HAS to log in. Sure the rewards are there, but I just batch open em in groups click each a couple times in turn and done.
The Skilling Spree was more of a bad/goodexample, logging all the way in for a possible chance of it being worth it.
But then they baited and switched it to arenas and that aint how I roll so it saved me time there lol
You have summed up the average EVE player in that one line. Well, gamers in general, but since we’re talking EVE we may as well just focus on EVE players.
I blame F2P.
If F2P never happened there would not have been login bribes in the first place and we’d have people crying about something else instead.

for serious invention they are useless, since you’d need them in much higher quantities which is easy to do for the low end BPOs they spam people with, IF you need them for that. Buy BPO, spend a week or 2 on research and them copy them as much as you need. Nobody who is serious into invention would rely on these garbage handouts.
Still work though. And most people are giving them away so big timesaver.
did you ever do invention? Obviously not.
Lol Im literally doing it now
ok maybe there are really people who can’t find anything better to do in this game than burning ISK for fun on invention of low end BPC like these… which does not mean the rest should be spammed with it.
Im afraid its not in my power to stop you clicking two buttons you dont have to click vOv

that a 7 years old character wastes time on inventing 75mm Gatling Rail says a lot about you.
What does it say?
I’m fascinated to know how one achieves the “Mark Hadden Medal For Playing A Game Seriously”

Invented BPC’s will have a single run on a ship BPC and 10 runs on everything else. Regardless of the research performed on a T1 BPC, the invention result on a T2 BPC will have exactly ME 2% and TE 4%.
However the amount of Runs, ME and TE levels on the T2 BPC can be adjusted during the invention process by using decryptors.
