Gifting Event Update Idea and Request

So. The gifting event has ended. All of our (Or most) Greater Gifting crystals have been opened. We have been shafted with pulls, we have gotten lucky with pulls. The gifting event was, in a way, fun. However, something has happened during this event to many players. Something that gets worse each year. Scamming. And yet nothing about this event has been changed to prevent it. So, today, I have decided to create an idea for a newer and better Gifting event. One that makes it easier to not get scammed, and easier to gift others. So without Further ado, let me introduce you all to my idea

The Secret Santa Gift Exchange:

New and Old Trade system Update:

So, instead of removing the old trade system, both the old and the new trading system now exist. The newer system is essentially an exchange/trading system. One player sends an invite to the other. If the other accepts, they are put into a screen that shows two sides. On one side, you can offer your own items while the other can do the same. When both Players are finished selecting what items they wish to exchange, they can press the ready button. When both are ready, the exchange is made.

This exchange system idea is mostly thanks to @RichTheMan . He has mentioned a system like this several times before, and it really does make sense. However, we need to keep the previous gifting system as well. @Seatin is a major reason why. If we no longer had the previous system, people like him couldn't host giveaways as easily or at all and the event would lose its "Gifting" aspect. I also have another plan for it later on as you read.

Gift Cards:

There will be two types of gift cards. Greater Gifting Cards and Minor Gifting cards. The Greater gifting cards are worth 300 units, while minor are worth 50. These cards can replace units while gifting others, though as you gift, you can add units if you want to spend more. These can only be used in the Older gifting system, but can be earned via a special quest or special Gifting Objective (Explained later). You can exchange 5 of the minor cards for Greater cards. However, this can only be done 3 times during the event.

Santapool's Workshop:

Deadpool has taken over Santa's workshop! Or at least, that's what he's calling it. It's actually just an abandoned warehouse that he decorated to look like a workshop. That doesn't stop him from making some very odd gifts for the citizens of the Battle Realm though. Knowing Deadpool though, it is probably best you stop him before he decides to put something harmful in his gifts.
This single quest has three paths, each with their own difficulties, puzzles, and special nodes! However, it seems Deadpool forgot to shut the windows and now a Blizzard is whipping around buffeting and inflicting Coldsnap debuffs to everyone. And even the boss man Deadpool himself! Luckily however, he was prepared for this and brought a sweater. So now he is immune to the effects of the cold. He also gave you one as well! However, your champions aren't so lucky.

The rewards of this event vary with Summoner Progression. There is no completion rewards, but there are a heap of Exploration rewards! The rewards are as follows.
Thronebreaker:
- 5% T6B
- 5% T3A
- 20% T5CC selector
- 10k 6* Shards
- 50x T6 Basic ISO-8
- 1 mil Gold
- 5x Greater Gifting Cards

Cavalier:
- 15% T5CC selector
- 1x T5B
- 2x T2A
- 7.5k 6* Shards
- 50x T5 Basic ISO-8
- 750k Gold
- 3x Greater Gifting cards
- 5x Minor Gifting cards

Uncollected:
- 5% T5CC selector
- 4k 6* Shards
- 5* Nexus
- 5x T4B
- 1x T2A
- 40x T5 Basic ISO-8
- 500k Gold
- 3x Greater Gifting Cards
- 3x Minor Gifting Cards

Conqueror and Below
- 5* Nexus
- 500k Gold
- 50 T4 Basic ISO-8
- 5 Star 3-4 Rank up gem crystal
- 3x Greater Gifting Cards

Secret Santapool Daily Objectives:

Every day, each summoner is given an objective to gift a random person in their friends list up to 30 units in gifts. The person is chosen randomly and resets each day. When you gift someone because of this Objective, they will receive the gift but will not be notified on who gave them the gift. Each time this objective is completed, the Summoner receives 1 Minor Gifting Card and 15 Units, and the points gained from the gift are doubled towards the Solo Gifting Event milestones and Rank rewards (If you gift a Greater gifting crystal as a part of this objective, you gain 6k points instead of 3k). This objective cannot be completed via the Exchange system. The older Gifting system must be used.

These Gifting cards are to make gifting easier for F2P players, because it is definitely hard to save up the units to get all the Milestones. I myself have never completely the Solo Event milestones. The Objectives are to add more holiday spirit and fun to the event. I mean, who wouldn't love randomly receiving a gift?! I hope you enjoyed. Please tell me what you think. If you are There Kabam, please take note of at least the newer Gifting system alongside the old one. It would prevent so many scams, and it makes it easier for others to not accidently send gifts to the wrong person. The event is only an additional idea for a revamp, and is not as important as preventing scams. So please, take these ideas into account and I hope you all enjoyed!

    So I, being an uncollected player automatically get a reduced amount of 6* shards just because you want to keep it more fair?

    And on top of it you want to revive rocket scrap metal shop even though Kabam went on record as stating that that particular event was a last minute event that was cobbled together out of necessity? Dude, for the love of God please no. Just please no.

    I'm not quite understanding what you are saying. From what I can tell, this is nothing like Rocket Scrap metal at all. Also, for the reduced 6* shards, Isn't that how it always has been? I said the quest would be based on account progression. 4k seems like a very reasonable amount, comparing it to the amount usually given to UC. I don't want to seem like I'm arguing, but what you have said doesn't seem related to my post. Can you explain to me so I can understand it a bit better?

    My main point is focused on the fact that I earned more six star shards from this year's event as is then what you're proposing with this event that you would like to create. I understand for a lot of endgame players and a lot of free-to-play players they're not getting the same amount of awards that I got, and I'm not saying that what I got is the standard but if I was able to come out of this very lucky based on completely randomized odds, then why would I want absolute certainty of this version when even at the most for an uncollected player, I am not going to get anyting remotely close to a full six star Crystal based on the rewards?

    I'm not replacing the gifting crystals in this type of idea. The side quest is just an addition. A quest to get a couple extra rewards and get a couple gifting crystals for free. If you are talking about the grandmaster/cav crystal shards, those are practically out every month now. Those would most likely be in a different Side EQ, or could be added to this quest. My main two goals with this whole post was about the "Gifting" Side of things. About allowing a way for F2P to fill a bit more of the solo objective milestones and trade with others without having to grind tons of units within the span of the month. Not with the special crystals they have. Those are fine.
