Gifting

[adude159753]

I was wondering what the people who are active on the forums would think about the idea of gifting coins or shards to a friend (maybe when friends list is implemented or even before that)? I won't speak my opinion just yet. But I want to hear comments from you to see what your views are.

I was actually thinking about that myself, until I decided it could be to easily abused. See, if you have say, 5 accounts, and they all get 50 shards each day and they are all being sent to one person, that guy gets 250 a day instead of 50. And if they had even more accounts than that, they could get everything in the shop in a matter of weeks.

what if you make gifting only for warcoins?
that would solve that problem

[techgump]

for that, maybe not a bad idea. As long as war coins cannot be somehow obtained for free.

I do transfer coins from time to if someone asks, it doesn't happen that often and there is minimum number of coins required (I will not be digging in the database just to transfer 10 coins ). I don't think that people would use it often enough to make making the ingame functionality worthwhile

[adude159753]

I see. So you have done some transfers in the past, Lopdo. Would you be willing to implement such a feature though, maybe as one of the touch up functions?
But Robomajor brought up a good point. I would say that gifting should be recorded so records could be reviewed. I know that that is a form of pushing and other games I have played have said that lower level players cannot trade with a high level player without some sort of compensation.

Also, third party shops. No thanks.

What do you mean by third party shop?

What do you mean by third party shop?

Companies that undercut Lopdo's business by having random people play for long amounts of time and then undercut Lopdo's business by offering shards at really low prices.

haha, I would LOVE to see that
