Okay, I believe the rewards were poorly thought out. Most likely, they were trying to be conservative with them so as not to upset game balance or the market with them. However, they made them so crappy that no one likes any of them (aside from the free SP; which isn’t a big amount, but I’ll take it).
However, you straight up come off as entitled with your post -CCP doesn’t owe you any rewards. And asking for someone to be fired during a global recession because they made such a trivial mistake is some next level dick behavior.
The current campaign is clearly aimed at new players just starting out. I’ve decided that the checkbox for “don’t show on login” is very helpful. But I expect something a bit different for the EVE anniversary event in early May.
Now, I think it’s reasonable for you to think the rewards are basically worthless, and for you to give such feedback to CCP. I would suggest trying being a little more understanding and empathetic though. Making rewards does require a delicate balance. If they are too OP, it can screw with balance, and certainly piss off various industrialists and traders that have their incomes affected. For example, if CCP gave out sellable drugs to the entire playerbase every two or 3 days, it would cause the drug market to collapse.
Now, one way to fix this might be to make the rewards more varied, so that any one reward doesn’t overwhelm demand. For example, if there were 14 different rewards, and Omegas only got 2 drugs a month, it’s possible that supply would’t outpace demand. In fact, getting a taste might actually get more people into taking drugs, and increase demand.
Of course, you’d have to be extra special with alpha rewards, because if their rewards are too good, people will just make hundreds (if not thousands) of accounts.
Anyway, I do hope CCP does improve the rewards, but I also understand that it’s a complicated matter.
If its not good enough for you, find someone who is it good enough. Give it to a new player learning to build. Build it and give it to a new player looking to upgrade from the tristan so they can finally do level 2 missions!
In EVE it’s not always about you. What doesn’t work for you WILL for someone else. Find that new player and take them under your wing and treat them to an experience you cant get from any other game.
Dont want to do that?.. Then just trash it. It’s free.
