Hating the new mog station restrictions.

Checking around online feedback and while I still dont personally cant form credible opinions regarding the matter in defense for the recent changes, the poster still gave some plausible theories behind SE's decisions.

This is probably where I'm gonna stake my money on being the cause. It makes sense.

This lead to the change for the friendslist thing probably, but nothing to do with not being able to gift certain items at all.

SE's stated reason for blocking items like minions, emotes, etc. is because they are one time use. They just don't care enough to make a way to detect if someone already has an item or not and prevent you from buying it for them.

Literally that simple. SE taking the easiest approach instead of developing a proper solution. Which is true for most problems in this game.

It makes sense that the most valuable items are no longer giftable if people are literally having their credit cards stolen and used to buy them for x amount of people. There's a bigger picture here that kind of needs to be looked at. If there's a better solution then fair enough but this was probably the quickest way to find a fix while they work on a longterm solution. Sorry some people who wanted to steal people's information ruined it for everyone for now.

yeah, I think we have to give SE the benefit of the doubt. Despite us memeing companies making brain haired decisions, when it usually involves money, there HAS to be some actual reason for their doing so

This wasn't the reason given by SE and it has no logic to it. If what you're saying is true, they would just turn off gifting period, not only on specific items.

I mean, they're literally telling us the only reason we can't gift mounts, minions, and emotes with the new change is because they're single use. I dunno why people are trying to say it's about anything else when they were pretty clear on why both this and the friends list change was implemented.
