We all know this gifting event change you made was to stop people from making new alts to gift to themselves free stuff and continuing it. And you have always said this was fair, so why is suddenly not fair? Why is this suddenly a problem after 4 years of you doing this? Why is this suddenly a line that seems to be getting crossed.

In past if you had to be level 15 that meant you had already been playing the account for long enough (I guess).
Now I see people create account and immediately open a 4* champ.
Correct, was already easy last several years, but calendars continue to make it faster and faster to progress to 15.
(actually Calendars a bad example for this particular case. More like in game Store let’s you advance more quickly in last several years)
You can't completely eliminate the problem, but you can make it unpalatable or less profitable, and eliminating the permanent gifting badge probably sent a lot of the unscrupulous people away. Reinstating the gifting badge for this event might have started attracting those people back to the game, but preventing them from creating a flood of new accounts to use may slow them down enough to reduce the problem to a more manageable level.
The people saying this was a problem and now isn't a problem or shouldn't be a problem or must still be a problem don't understand that none of this is binary: you can't completely eliminate the problem, you can only curtail it. So every measure taken is designed to make it more trouble than it is worth for most of these guys to use the platform for this activity. Contrawise, allowing an event like this to happen is a calculated risk, with the idea that the limited time frame allows Kabam to prevent the issue from being too big of a problem before the event ends. All of this is a compromise of practical realities.
The fair thing to do would be to remove all items gifted from accounts created in first couple of days of gifting event. I'm sure they could identify a newly created account that gifts massive amounts of items to another account.
