I'm a little bummed, but not surprised or upset. My only confusion, is what are they going to do next year? Obviously a lot can change in a year, but it seems as though any alts created this year should be able to gift next year, which causes the exact same problem, but removes the easy solution of locking brand new accounts. Rather than being a short term gain, the alts created this year can just be a much longer term benefit
The fact is the units that the alt has. If you use all your units on the alt this event and you dont play it anymore its gonna be useless next year. The problem might be that if these requirements are confirmed people have a whole year to create a bunch of new alts just to use next year, so I think this year they did a good job to counter it but they will have to invent something else for next year.
Let's call this what it is: Kabam. Need we say any more? They want money and people will give it them. They're not bothered about the players that try to get stuff from this event for free.
If that were the case, they wouldn't allow Alts to gift Mains at all.
Ah cool. That small .01% chance ftp players had to score in the gifting event against p2w players is finally gone. Honestly just keep the november part and keep the levels as is. Nobody has that kind of time to be grinding.

You think people had a chance to match with the spenders from a few thousand Units?
Kabam, IMHO…these restrictions show just how out of touch you are with the majority of the player base.
1) Level 40 – This is a way OTT, as if the two other points below didnt already stop mass accs being created to take an “unfair” advantage of gifting main accs, then I would agree this is needed at this level of restriction. BUT….now, you’re now going to be penalizing and eliminating someone who has been with you for 6+ mnths plus…but just hasn’t grinded out fights to gain XP!!!
2) Become conqueror – Fine, this is a grind in itself. You cant beat majority of act 4 without putting in the time and effort…which yes, can be done easier with the rework of act1-3, but still….but if that’s a concern, then yes…use point below to remove any accs created from when the rework of act1-2 went live.
3) Acc created before 20th Nov – Fine, stops majority of the mass creation of accounts to whizz through act 1-3 just for the units to gift yourself. But if anything, it should be from when the rework went live!
Please re-think level 40!!!
I don’t think you have any idea how long it takes to get to level 40, 6 months? Are you doing a quest a week?

To be fair, some people skip exploration of lower quests and do only EQ which gives barely any xp. Escpecially how easy it is for new players to get 4 and 5* now there's barely any motivation to explore any story quests outside of units, which if the person spends cash will be of no value to them for the effort.

Yeah perhaps, but if you want to grind XP, you can get to level 40 in 2 weeks without much extra effort. Completion of act 4, and then a bit of exploration of 1-3 will get you close to level 40. I just did it on my Tb challenge and it took me 2 weeks

I agree, i'm not saying it's difficult, i have alts and i know it's not that crazy to do. What i'm refering to is that there are alot of people who play this game much more casually than the majority do.
They’re out, guess some people have a lot of grinding to do to get to L40
Pretty sure that Nov 20th requirement kills a lot of those. I'm fine with the lvl and title, the creation I take some issue with. I made an alt I've actually been playing, gifting was certainly in mind but I've played it through act 4 already. It's right around the cutoff but don't see any way of knowing the creation date. If if can't be used I'll just skip spending anything too.
It's literally nine days ago...
Maybe take a look at your 'Read' Mail, and see how far back it goes?
Hope that helps, and sorry if you've had your efforts wasted.
Look i know it looks like a big exploit what briangrant showed you but nobody has that kind of time and determination to do such thing, so i have a suggestion. We know the game is not in its ideal state at the moment and we all expected a compansation for some time know (and im talking about a real compensation not these revives and alliance crystals and war boosts that go into the overflow)well this is a great opportunity for you guys to compensate a lot of players if you lower the restrictions lets say ti lvl 25 and completion of act 3 and i know the november 20 is required so i think its a good idea to leave it in. I think it would be fair and gives the free to play players a chance in the gifting event’s ranked rewards. I hope this reaches you and best wishes @Kabam Miike@Kabam Zibiit@Kabam Lyra@Kabam Porthos

Yeah of course, sorry I didn't mean my post to sound like it disagreed with you. Was just adding on for any new players who started in the last 9 days, or anyone who had some alts. It's not as high as it sounds. Remember that progress is very fast at the start for levels, then it tapers off around level 42-45 and becomes a lot harder to get new levels. For my own new account challenge this was my progress: Week 1 - level 34 Week 2 - level 39 Week 3 - level 40 Week 4 - level 43 Week 5 - level 43

You right. Shoulda said 0.001%.
I understood what you meant. It's just not feasible. Those that Rank high in Gifting are most likely spending tens of thousands of dollars.
I think as well, people need to remember two things:
One, we have 3 weeks until gifting starts to get to level 40 and then another 2 weeks until the event is over. That's 5 weeks to get to level 40.
And two, there is no possible solution to stop this being exploited without drawing the line somewhere. If you drew it at 35 people would complain for new players as well. The thing with a cut-off is someone is always on the other side of it. This cut off stops people getting 50+ accounts and exploiting it, but still allows someone to absolutely fairly grind a few accounts.
You can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good, and shoot down every single idea for a cut off because it stops someone from gifting - because it either won't stop the exploitation, or it will constantly be shot down for screwing someone over.
I think it would be fair to omit the level 40 requirement if you made your account before their cut off. They are shitting on brand new players. I get there is an exploit but just change the level requirement and leave the rest. In my honest opinion
