SE its always right and they made the best game ever in the history of MMO'S

I can hear your muttley-esque snicker from here!

Just transfer the money to your friend and they will get it on the shop, what's wrong with your people overacting with this? SE its always right and they made the best game ever in the history of MMO'S

So, your solution is to create RMT where RMT didn't exist before? For a problem that was created by RMT. Also, this is not as easily said and done if your friend is from another region with different currency exchanges and bank fees involved.

I feel like there could be easier safeguards then just gutting the store exchange.
* use the existing system to check whether the chosen recipient already has the item prior to the transaction end
* rather than sending the item directly to a mailbox, require a handshake by making the recipient log into their mog station account to accept or reject the gift. Item isn't charged to the gifter's card until it is accepted. There can be a time frame for how long they have to accept it before the transaction is cancelled
* limit the amount of items which can be gifted in a day
* Don't run promotions unless they can be run in all regions simultaneously
* Increase the duration required for friendlist registration required

I would love to, where is the gift *insert person on my friend list here* Crysta option? You know that currency they totally have that you can buy stuff with that for some reason never got a gift x amount option.

Wasn't gifting crysta the whole reason they originally created it?

Nope, it has no gift option. it is just an alternative to pay for stuff. To my understanding people who have had issues with card changes tend to now use Crysta as it doesn't auto-renewal and you have to add it yourself. It has never had a gift option either.

SO you've basically punished the law/rule abiding players for what criminals have done

But... you ADMIT that the criminals will CONTINUE doing it?

And you've limited what we can give to our friends (of 72 hours or more) to the most ridiculous 'gift' items you sell? So.. I can no longer give my bestie a minion because some RMT scumbag bought one and resold it in game for gil? GIL?! PIXEL MONEY?

I am being restricted... over pixel money... and other people's criminal behavior that you ADMIT OPENLY they are still ABLE TO DO?

Why did you not just make it so that the items can only be bought with credit cards and make it so those credit cards have to match exactly the name and address on the account buying it?

THAT would have actually LESSENED the RMT activity of using 'stolen credit cards' to RMT mog items...

That would reduce the number of people reselling items because it can be immediately tracked back to the player...

All your 'fix' does is punish those of us who would never abuse the system to begin with.

A complete 'jerk move'. I do not approve. Let me give my friends minions again.

sheesh

100% support. It sucks that legitimate players get punished for rule breaking behavior.

EVEN MORE SO WHEN THEY ADMIT IT'S POINTLESS.

There is a post on twitter by Lady Xhiel White, or @Miss_Xhiel . She made a post regarding why such actions were taken, and its related back with SE giving out the update for everyone to update their passwords due to breaches. Its EXACTLY about that, and the fact that doing ton of purchases revokes will get the companies processing said transactions to ban the company for having these problems.


I honestly recommend anyone who is curious to look it up and read it. (Its 15 tweets.) Its all legal stuff; and I think it'll help with some confusion. I don't like how things are happening, but it is what it is.

Glad I’m not the only conspiracist around lol.
