I would like to add a rule to this, that if Kabam adds this, people cannot trade with people they JUST friended, maybe after like a day?

My Alt: Ahh! Hello me!
My Primary: ahh hello me! Now gift me!
My alt: yes sir! Have 9500X 5* shards!
My Primary: Thanks me! Now I have a 5* crystal!
Agreed.
And regardless of how many safeguards were put in place, gifting would be abused to oblivion. In a game breaking sort of way. This game cannot survive the chaos and downright cheating that would ensue.
Please.
I vote instant ban for anyone suggesting trading ever again
OP, you forgot to factor in some of us have entirely way too much time on our hands.
End result:
Potential top 3 AMs filled up by ONE in-between jobs fella, powered by his rich dad's AMEX
EDIT: with tonnes of RedBull
1) ...it's more like selling. The person receiving the items have to buy them with a fixed amount of energon set by Kabam. For example, to buy a t3c is 100 energon, a t4b is 150 energon, t3 AM squad revive kit is 50 energon, and so on. People could still have alt accounts, but it will at least cost the primary account energon.
2) ...if the items being gifted are only items that can be purchased with real money is a store separate from the standard one. It could be a separate tab at the top and include AM kits, batteries, rotating class sparks, basic sparks, etc. This probably will remove the use of alt accounts for farming since if they're spending real money anyway, may as well do it from the primary.
150 for a t4b? That's insane. Waaaaay too cheap! Look at the price of the various spark deals when Kabam has them. There's no comparison.
This discussion is irrelevant and a waste of bandwidth. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the mods have stated in the past that a trading/gifting system will never come to this game.
I'm just throwing out random numbers so it could be higher. But I don't think it should be something too high or else people selling would be getting too much energon (I mean, they're still losing a resource too). I'm just thinking of ways this could be done without making it a free for all.
I appreciate the thought. But.... It's going to be a free-for-all, regardless of what safeguards we think we could come up with. There are too many clever cheaters out there who can game the system. It's a downright bad idea.
And I seem to have misunderstood your earlier statement. I assumed that when you meant Energon for the resource, you meant that they had to pay that Energon for the privilege of trading/gifting -- and that no one would be receiving it.
Sorry, but this whole concept not only opens up the game to massive cheating, but also shoots Kabam point-blank by taking another chunk of their profits away.
Ahh, that probably would be better for Kabam if something ever like this was implemented. But then there’d be no motivation for the seller.
Cheating is happening even without gifting/trading/selling. However, there are still probably a bunch of honest players who could benefit from something.
I guess if they limit it to real money items, then at least Kabam can get something out of this (hacked or stolen credit cards notwithstanding).
I’m not for or against this either way so none of it really matters to me. Just tossing out ideas.
Hallelujah! The only time I'm very glad to see new content denied.
Thanks...and...
