Hello!
So you know how a bunch of people "sell" their event currency during certain events? But then they have to PM the person who they bought them from, that there's never a really sure way to know they won't spend it before you do. I propose allowing event currency to be gifted or traded, just like regular currency, so that it would be more convenient and final when people sell.

Thanks for any support!
If you do not support, please tell me why.

I'm not convinced. It WOULD be easy if you sell one but people who can afford buying many GB would probably use it as Pay-To-Win system. As they would gather currencies form mutliple people to get what they need without even having to take part in the event.

Currently no support. If they can afford to purchase the event currency as is, they can afford to purchase the items directly from another player, in my opinion. No one is going to be able to get exactly everything in the exact quantities they want from each event, but players are able to sell items so it balances it out. Promise transactions are already not covered/protected by Mods, so I think it's just a risk you have to take if you're going to attempt them. Sorry. :(

@Troll, it's not really much different than buying the items from the event from other users, which is the basis for the majority of the item economy on Lioden. And GB is a pay-to-win feature already, this won't change that.

I don't see this being an issue really, it would just allow people to sell their event currencies more directly.

^^ Kind of agree, unless you set a direct trade with payment and what is wanted in return, having this would be the same as "You tell me what you want to buy, send the gb, then the item(s) will be sent." kind of deal, which is strictly promised based as well. And as for the pay-to-win system Troll mentioned, and how people would just get currency from others to sell, they can do that already??? They can just buy whatever currency from whoever, and then sell the items they request for more profit. Like when people offer 10-15 gb for scrotums, gnawrocks and GMO cows while the event is going, because they know it will sell for more later. Honestly, this would be kind of cool. I've seen several people in each event selling their currency, a lot of which were 200 and less, which doesn't buy much, and if you want an expensive item, you can add together whatever you make in the month, and all the currency bought from other players to afford whatever it is you'd like. Support.

Yeah, I agree with Angela. Support, selling currency should be allowed to be more direct.

I support. Many people buy event currency in batches starting at the price of an item they want, and this would make it a lot easier. I understand it may be a lot of work (especially since the box for it when trading and selling probably will be removed after each event) but I still support!

Would also like to add something. It was mentioned people could just buy the item from others, but what if they don't have enough currency? in February, buffies seemed to be 6-8 GB, just like how now with gnaws, they are 18-20 something GB. People may not have that much currency on hand, but they may have almost enought currency to buy the item themselves. Since Heart shells are 10 for 1 GB, someone could buy 10, 20, 30 Heart shells, and then buy the item they need themselves. Same with gnawrocks. Many events I participated in, myself and others came close to affording some item or app, and fell short by small amounts of event currency. Would have been nice to be able to purchase the needed currency from another user, and not have the currency sit idle for another year to be used again.
