Title: Gifting!
Post by: sparklerfish on August 27, 2014, 08:30:29 pm

As Clan Clan gains more new recruits and they are forced to purchase spring green dye to conform to our silly standards, I've come to wish that I could gift some of my extras to other players.  During sales I like to stock up on dyes and it would be great to be able to give away some to people, or even trade colors I don't use with someone who has colors I do want.

Or even if I don't already have them in my inventory, be able to select an option when purchasing to give it as a gift, type in the person's handle, and it delivers it straight to their inventory.

Any plans to implement gift options for store items?

+1, good idea

I'd only add that items gained through competitions (like Fighting the Devs) shouldn't be able to gift, because people migh want to earn money on this.

I've suggested this one before...it really needs to happen, it's a win-win for us and Muse.  wanted to buy outfits for Daemacil.

think this one needs to be emailed to them directly.


....aaaand done.

I like the idea of gifting. But as far as the distribution of cosmetics go.
Plz no trading.

(Trading would be cool in adventure mode tho- there'll be things to trade [probably])   

I just don't want a hat simulator scenario in this game.

Er, whats wrong with a hat simulator?

Doesn't disrupt gameplay, generates tons of revenue for Muse without making anything pay to win...

As far as monetization goes TF2 is probably the GREATEST free to play game ever.

Idk it's just always irritated me greatly the whole cosmetic focus of tf2.
Whenever i played it was all about the hats and not about the game.
It's just something i don't want to see in GOI.

But i can see your point- about the revenue thing.
And more things to make my engi look saf is always  good thing aha.
