We still might get a real gift in the redeeming queue, but so far what has been announced is another in-game event, and a discount on buying skins, neither of which can truly be called a Christmas present. ---

Thanks skill injector farms\* If the injector farms had gotten all the goodies, they wouldn’t be very valuable. Injector farms aren’t very good at running sites, so this year’s stuff is in sites. ---

They’re talking about the yoiul gift box and the festival launchers… now you need to go get your “gift” yourself… No santa’s clone left for coming in the chimmey this year… maybe his sled got destroyed in the gate camp. ---

Don’t worry, you’ll get your pieces of carbon, or a silly troll book on ‘how to retire your starbase’ CCP has moved into this strange behavior of trolling us with these drops. ---

Its interesting that the agency came out at approximately the same time as when they laid off a significant portion of their staff. The agency allows for soulless, boring, cookie cutter, repetitive content. Clearly you dont need a whole lot of people on your staff thinking of new things when you keep pushing out the same old, same old.
