ramell 14 Posted January 27, 2019 Can someone tell me why LO got rid of the ‘send as gift’ botton from Armas Market? This feature is kinda important to me, as my friend sometimes buy me armas items as gifts. I believe it’s a good way to encourage spending too. Is it possible to reinstate the botton? @MattScott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OvermoderatedForum 71 Posted January 27, 2019 I think one of the reasons was to help combat real world trading. Also I vaguely recall hearing about people using it to get others banned on purpose by gifting them things and then doing chargebacks. In other words bad people ruined something good. Hopefully it'll come back when it's less exploitable but until then you can give people steam giftcards or something Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They just have to learn to protect themselves, in game and in real world. Edited January 27, 2019 by ramell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was important for me too, send stuff to my friends, gift to players, spent alot doing this. I still buy some stuff for my girlfriend but i have login details of her, no gift option. Maybe they will make it avaiable again, but i don't really know. 14 hours ago, Tizzie said: I think one of the reasons was to help combat real world trading.
