klafokgm 6 Posted October 17, 2021 Is armas gifting ever coming back? I have some g1c on my alt account and I'd like to gift my main account some shit, but that's impossible to do since armas gifting was removed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LilyRain 674 Posted October 17, 2021 That would be nice. Sadly, gifting is disabled because some people abused it through charging back on alt-accounts. Another shining example of when the acts of some hurts everyone. What they have done was basically gift their main/temporary accounts then get their money back through charging back. The alt-account would get banned for 'payment evasion' while any gifted account basically gets things for free. This was a despicable act that hurt profits and simply can't be allowed to stay. Unless LO gets a solution in place, it is unlikely to see gifting coming back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless LO gets a solution in place, it is unlikely to see gifting coming back. They could just ban both, the account that gifted and the account that received the items. I've had g1c sitting on my alt that's on jericho, while I play on citadel. Would be nice if they allowed gifting again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hexerin 1140 Posted October 18, 2021 Just remove the items that were gifted if the gifter chargebacks. It's not complicated... but would require a few seconds of an intern's time, so obviously is too much for LO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CookiePuss 5378 Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) I think there was something said about charge backs costing more money than the purchase made Edited October 18, 2021 by CookiePuss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those fees are significant, just like any other bank fee. On the second point however, LO would just need to speak with the bank and show proof of the abuse to get their account reactivated. Which circles back to "LO would have to put in even the bare minimum effort" again, of course. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
