I liked gifting, those small parts of the game that encouraged interaction helped in some way to build this community.

Completely agree @Glassback 💯👍

Disappointing- I get the reasons for killing it…. But still like it personally

Sad to see it go, but don't wanna see it back

It has brought more issues with it than it's worth in my opinion, and I get why they stopped it. Wish they could solve the issues it has, but it's hard. So it's for the best

Gifting was fun, but glad to see it gone given the issues it brought to the game.

It always sucks when people ruin a good thing for others who engage with it fairly. I’ve enjoyed gifting as part of the Gifting Event, but also the smaller versions like Lunar New Year and more recently the Cap’s Enlistment event. Sad to see it go. I hope someday it can return in a format that can’t be exploited, even if it just something small (not the December event)

Gifting, more like, "I will make 5 dummy accounts to hold 40 revives and then gift them to my main account."

It would have been nice to let this one continue one more time and let us know it will not return like they have done with the other versions of gifting in the past. To basically announce the event and say no gifting of red envelopes is just another example of lack of transparency.

How I feel. It became too much trouble for what it was worth sadly

One one hand. Gifting was really fun and I'm sad to see it go. On the other hand, the most fun part about gifting was being able to open the crystals and maybe earn points in a solo and ally event so as long as we can still do those two things in other ways I guess its fine but still kinda stinks

I liked it but there's no denying that people were abusing it. All we can do now is hope that they take notes from the banquet and just really load up their prizes so that way you won't have to seek third party vendors or black markets.

Could literally never do this

There should be an option "Sad to see it go but understand why it's gone". Gifting was great but just opened the door to bots and exploits so if stopping that means stopping gifting completely, that's fine by me. The new banquet format works just as fine and I personally had no issue with the rewards so while gifting was fun I have no problem that it won't come back.

Not with lunar, but you definitely could with the other gifting events.

Buy revives with units on an alt account, gift them to main acct, get points on both accts.

I have other problems in life tbh

Which is different than what I replied to.

You sent the purchased revives directly to the main... you could not gift from inventory

Fair enough, and true.

Yes but they farmed the units to buy the revives. Farming is farming whether it's units or revives.

Bummed, I have irl friends that I would have jist swapped gifts with

I'm glad to see it go. It was a half-alive monstrosity from its original self.

Stocking 40 revives on 5 alts is different than saving that many units

I used to have alts and I would auto run SQs to stock units for gifting, it was great

But I don't miss logging in and running multiple accounts on multiple devices
