I sniped the skin (Tristan) and the other pilot Kintaris Zulu was not happy. He had choice words and I quote:

All that over a skin? Get a grip.

I hadn't bothered with it yet, learned the basics this morning and did some 14 sites in a Magus Most of those had other people in it but I ended up with 9 skins, with an average value of 10 mil each. Not amazing income but easy to do and quite enjoyable, the passive aggressive targeting by others is entertaining. |

I had a similar experience when I sniped a Nyx SKIN, but you know what? I just chalked it up to the guy being frustrated and left the Nyx SKIN for him in a contract for 1000 ISK. He actually emailed me back to apologize - and that he couldn't believe I would do that for him. Turns out he'd had site after site sniped all evening and just lashed it - which I completely understand. He earned my respect by sending that email.
Sometimes the most rewarding experiences in this game have been when you've done what's least expected.

Once you get more than six jumps from Jita or 4 jumps from Amarr, you get in to the real game and away from the noise that pollutes gamer souls. Why is this always the first suggestions? Is it too hard to simply acknowledge that "well, yeah - maybe the event kind of sucks".

I'm just saying that there have certainly been better variants of these events, and that this one falls on the lower end of the spectrum. This is just my opinion - no one is under any obligation to agree or disagree. And if you're in the group that is enjoying the event, more power to you. o7

yeah, the angels skins where the only ones I really wanted from this event anyways. and getting 10 dollars off the plex was a good enough deal to be worth jumping on.
also means that I have little to no reason to actually run this event anymore except if i'm bored.
all in all not terribly impressed, was kinda fun for a few hours of diversion doing something a little different, but that was about it. if the drop rate of the drugs was increased that might be enough added motivation to get back out there, but after running 20 odd sites and not seeing anything there isn't much incentive left. |

Nah, I don't disagree with this. As these events go this one seems to have about the least variety to it, and is very cookie cutter.
That said, I don't think it's a bad event or that they shouldn't have done it unless they could put more into it. Even if they added 3-4 more site setups or spawn configurations that'd get me about 2-3 more hours of interest out of it.
Also I love the idea of a sort of Gurista's easter event just for that pun... xD |

Actually as others have said, the 3 PLEX with the Angel skins is a pretty good deal. The skins are free and the 3 PLEX cost a little over $16 each.
I bought it to boost my in-game wallet and since I already have those 3 ships bling fitted, I might as well finish their fitting with some special skins.

Yep they're trash. They're pretty easy in a gnosis for alphas though. Plenty of mid slots for tracking computers. I use beam lasers and warp in at 30-50km. With two tracking speed scripts the frigates are pretty easy. They're still the hardest part. Cruiser and bc are easy kills.
But yeah I had a few stolen from me because ships can just show up and one shot the bc and it takes me 5-7 hits with imperial navy multifrequency. If they were made for alphas only alphas should have been able to warp to the beacons so i doubt they were made with alphas in mind because they aren't dropping anything good and are just sort of a time sink. I'd rather go do a den or drone site that will drop 50-100m and buy whatever skin i want from the event. |

I think they are only dropping the skins because that is what they are meant for. It would mess up the market for them to drop other stuff. And the bounties are low because if they were better it would contribute to isk inflation. Skins don't really add anything but cosmetics to the game so flooding us with those doesn't hurt anything.

I don't agree with calling these sites a fail or trash. They are super easy and the reward matches the effort involved. If you are a good Eve player, you know the real reason for these sites is to get people to actually undock and play, hopefully against each other even in highsec suspect flagging situations...

Normally I dislike pve in EVE. I avoid that sort of play as much as possible because it's boring.
These vents are different. Quick, straight forward and a reasonable reward at the end.
As someone that normally prefers pvp, my view of this event, like the other similar ones, is the opposite of fail. A big success. |

This is an important distinction.
PVPers go "hey, easy to digest content that doesn't require standing or anything and you can just do for a bit of variety and the income is a nice bonus"
PVEers go "MUST HAVE MORE CONTENT, WHY DOESN'T IT PAY MORE! ALSO COMPETITIONS SUCKS"
Goes to show that PVErs are used to lots and lots of content updates because that's how other MMO's do it and because of that they will never be satiated and CCP won't ever be able to keep them spoon fed with content they'll appreciate for more than a short period of time. Should be a sign for CCP to perhaps not focus too much on what PVErs have to say. |

Do you think that CCP made this content for PVE? HAHA Hell not; They made it only for PVP stuff;
In high sec - flip canning; In low sec / null sec - I have never seen so many ppl camping systems with small ship or recon ships just to hunt down guys warping to a Gala site for a Skin;
This event AGAIN been made for a PVP reason;
1-st day were great - many sites just spawn around - should find 1-2 after 1-2 jumps; Yesterday and day before yesterday I barelly could find any jumping 5j around;
This Event would be nice if there would be more sites to do but ... like I said it is made only for PvP players so they can gang others or camp systems for ez targets.

I haven't been lucky enough to have anyone else warp in on me yet. Wouldn't mind it if it happened, but some there are a lot of sites available to run in some areas. |

I like how all of the die-hard PvP players come in at the end to trash everyone and turn this (once again) into a PvE vs. PVP issue. I never said that I loathed any PvP or competition aspects, and in fact - player interaction was one of the only two saving graces for this event. But that's fine - keep driving a wegde. Someday you'll get your wish of having fewer players in this game...

There were plex dropping in the last event from what I've been told in addition to clothes, quads and possibly boosters but im not sure about the boosters. |

I don't think so, I've had about the same success as the previous event in finding sites, which is to say almost none until you get at least a little off the beaten path. |

Its largely an occasionally competitive or combative SKIN harvest.
It hasn't failed at what it is.
