We anticipate that even with this update, third parties will continue

I am not familiar with how gifting cash shop items worked previously, what new restrictions does this place on it?

In the past you got a code in your email that you could copy paste to a friend and they could enter it into mogstation.

The new system will send some items to the friend's mailbox directly - but you need to be a friend for a set time, and things like minions, emotes, and mounts are not allowed to be gifted any more. Some clothing seems to be. The level/story skip is for sure though.

So basically, i cant do giveaways anymore, cool.
Square are so stupid.

The person you intend to gift has to now have been on your friends list for more than 72 hours (I think this is actually a -good- thing)
But what you can give them is now restricted...
and if SE decides it's suspicious they can 'delete' your gift.


The bad part is that in their post on this topic they admit that the criminals it was intended to stop... won't actually be stopped.
So it fixes nothing. :/
