This was reported over on [reddit[(https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/15hctp4/correcting_a_wrong_ready_for_anything_kit_now/). The OP doesn't know why it was gifted. It was on a new account that used a referral code.
The Ready For Anything kit also seems to have been removed from the store. There are still a couple armor kits, but at least they aren't promoting them to new players.
I'd like to think CIG has learned from this, but it's probably just damage control.

Man, this was just not a good look. I wish CIG would learn, but their marketing department seems completely disconnected.

I don't think it was really clear. Some new accounts that buy starter ships?
People that did guide sessions got some other set.

Whoever had the idea to sell stuff like this should be fired.

While I generally agree, it's hard to argue with how much fucking money they've generated.
