Yup, this is quite unfair for those who jumped dozens of gates to defend one side, only to be greeted by a message saying the maximum que has been reached, for several hours until the event ended.
Obviously those who actually partook in the battle took the greater risk by having their ships destroyed and etc, but another thousand of us players were on the other side of the gate, waiting for several hours with unequivocal will to defend either side at a cost of their ships and implants.
This lottery based system that rewards the lucky few with a "limited time" one-time offer reward in a form of title is extremely unfair.
Please find a way to reward those who waited on the other side of the gate for hours as well. |

Lottery based system? Not at all, we have specific conditions that we'll be awarding the medal for. I think what he means is it was like a lottery to get in to the system, if you were stuck outside spamming jump on the gate. Some people "won" and got in and thus will get rewarded for said luck. But that is just a guess on my part.
That is exactly what I meant. Dear Mr. CCP Falcon, you said there will be "specific conditions" that will grant us medals. Since the event ended, isn't it too late for us to do anything about it? That is why I said this is a "limited time" one-time offer reward. |

The event has already happened, but we've delayed giving out the medal due to the fact that people contacted us with regards to having it given in a different form than an ingame item, otherwise it would have been released some time ago. Those who were involved in the battle will be rewarded when the time comes
Thank you for the prompt response.
So does this mean that a thousand and half of us who waited on the other side of the gate for hours, trying to get in, get no credit whatsoever?
If the "Ribbon" was to be handed out as an item, we would have no quarrel since those who waited for hours, but could not get in, could pay for the item so he/she could cherish the event forever.
On the other hand, if the "Ribbon" comes in a form of a medal, basically you are telling a thousand and half of players that our effort meant nothing.
Please reconsider. |

This was not difficult nor was it TZ constrictive. If the cap wasn't there the event would have been completely unplayable for everyone who was in system, CCP was right to put a cap on the event in order for at least some people to participate. It was already difficult to play with TiDI at "18%" (yeah right try 50% -_- ) if CCP just opened up the flood gate to everyone the node would have just crashed and no one would have gotten to play. People were going to miss out no matter what CCP did.
The least CCP could have done was to place respawnable NPCs around the gates so thousands of us who waited several hours less than you, the fortunate folks who were able to make it to the gate, had something to do. We did not wait for dozens of hours like you lucky folks, but I believe waiting for 5-6 hours around the gate, doing nothing, but waiting anxiously, is usually considered as an act only exhibited by "faithful" players.
I would hold no grudge if this "Ribbon" was handed out as an item. Those who value the event more will pay at whatever cost to obtain the item to cherish the memory. On the other hand, making this as a one-time super limited time "achievement" makes us wonder why the hell we waited for 5-6 hours at the gate after being exposed to so much publicity on EVE Dev Forum. Newsfeed, and Massively.com.
I do not like to waste time pursuing senseless goal. Mr. CCP Falcon, are you 100% certain that this special "Ribbon" is 100% out of reach for those players, who waited at the gates for several hours, but could not enter the system? |

Yup. Please make this reward "item" so those who participated in the event (guarding the gate, waiting for hours to get in) that value the ribbons more than the original owners, have chance to purchase and cherish them for the rest of our capsuleer lives.

Hello,
Could you make the ribbons to items again so those who value more can purchase the items while simultaneously enriching those who do not care about the medals?
It seems like those who were not able to enter the Gate to participate in the actual battle will not be granted with the ingame Medal. Rewarding commodity based items allows those who waited for hours at the other side of the gate, to get fairly compensated (of course, by purchasing from the original holders). |

That would be amazing, but I believe that involves a much more complex coding that CCP is unwilling to attempt. |

Once again, this would have been easier if CCP just decided to stick to the original plan and HAND OUT THE MEDALS as INGAME ITEMS.
Would you guys wait for this "magical medal" for another decade or have CCP reward you with actual ingame medals with monetary value? |

Given an in game item holds no value other than to isk rich collectors and is NOT proof that you took part as a result, I'll wait a decade than have anyone who is rich enough able to claim attendance.
I would not want CCP Devs to spend countless hours of labor and personnel to implement this "medal system" which only adds aesthetic value to character screens. After all, we are all part of the stakeholders here and I am merely providing a suggestion that could suit everyone in some ways.
Just to add, I did not seat idly on piles of my ISKs while the battle waged on. There are unfortunate us numbering hundreds who were trapped on the other side of the stargates, clicking and praying for hours despite the "maximum que reached error ****," in the hopes of being able to participate in the event. You can surely blame us for not logging in earlier compared to all others who made it to the system, but we did try. |

This "medal system" as you call it is already ingame and CCP has used it few times so far like awarding FW militia pilots when they captured all the systems in one of the FW warzones.
Yes I know, but seeing how making this new amazing "trophy" is taking CCP more than half year to implement , it is obvious that this is a huge drain on CCP's part and it is even more obvious that they are reluctant to take on such endeavor at this point in time. Hence, my suggestions on having CCP reward those with an actual ingame medal as initially planned. |

They have to like create a medal(one for each side) using the options that the game mechanic provides, write a short text for them and the most tricky part in this case is to find out who qualifies to receive them. At least i would do it that way.
It has been more than half-year. It is almost approaching one year. Obviously it is not simple as "writing short texts" or else, CCP would've already done it.
We both do not know what kind of mechanics is involved. I am just giving suggestion that if it does take lots of men-hours to implement this, they might as well stick to the original plan by handing out the ingame medals. |
