should cash shop items be allowed to be traded?

[caribean14]

I have had my eye on a donkey mount for a long time now. But cause i don have a credit card i cannot get one. I think that cash shop items should be allowed to be traded because if u have a friend wit a credit card and they are willing to buy a cs item for u the game will make the same amount of money as they would if u bought it for urself. So then why don they let you trade cash shop items?

Because trading cash shop items would soon become a big business and completely ruin the economy of the game. Wouldnt be long and people would be selling cash shop.

[caribean14]

Yes. But to get the cs items to sell u have to buy them from the fiesta store first. So the game would make the same money.

[Miazma]

Yes the Fiesta Store would make the money BUT then when the items are sold ingame that is where the economy of the game would be ruined. Wouldnt be long and a 1k cash shop item would be 2-3M of ingame money.

i'd rather just a gifting option than the whole trade in-game thing, i don't seem the harm in adding one of those.

Aren't they working on some kind of gifting system? Where you yourself don't have to pay for the CS, but you can get an item gifted to you by a friend. There's no actual physical buying of items through game using game gold.

*waiting on that ever so impatiently* I wanted to gift a friend something for her birthday last april, but >< couldn't.

but the bad thing with gifiting also would be that people could go "Oh i'll give you 1g if you gift me a blah" and thus scams can start to be brought up from it >.<

I am sorry hun. I can not agree with you. I've seen what it does to games. Nexon is a very good example with their game MAPLESTORY it's overcrowded, everyone steals from everyone, they have hackers all over the site doing whatever the hell they want. It's gotten pretty ugly and reminds me of a school full of toddlers slinging pea baby food at your face. GROSS and they don't allow the trading of cash shop items O___o people just do it anyways
How? well here is something Fiesta admin can read to maybe prevent this in the future
PREPAID GAMECARD= NUMBERS
GIVE NUMBERS TO PERSON
PERSON GIVE MONEY OR JUST STEAL NUMBERS(not giving you a thing in return)
NOW YOU LEFT WITH NOTHING CAUSE YOU GOT SCAMMED OR you left with game mon3y . . . soemthing you coulda got easily if you woulda used that brain
IDK, this is just how I feel. I dun mean to be sharp and to the point. I believe NEXON scarred me in somesort of way

Gifting in many ways would be a great addition to the game, but think of the spamming we have already...'plvl me plz', 'give me money plz', 'buy me a weapon plz'....this kind of behaviour would see a great increase if we allowed the exchange of CS items.
Innocently it is a great idea, I would love to be able to give my husband a CS gift for his birthday...but the application could easily be exploited.

what do pre-paid game cards have to do with this? The only logical way to use them is to plug them into a paypal account and use them like a credit or debit card. And sorry to say, but I load my spark much the same way. I use an amscot pre-paid mastercard. I pay a certain amount on the card, load my spark, and am unable to do so if there isn't any money on the card.

There aren't any numbers if you don't give them or your paypal details out.

As for the topic on scammers... there are always scams in-game because people are too stupid to use common sense and not trust these strangers. There are also scams running in-game that doesn't even concern cash shop items. Hello isya petal scam. Red flowers = 20s in your pocket because someone didn't pay attention to the name and bought them. (I didn't partake in this, nor did anyone I know, but there were tons of sellers everywhere.) So, suffice to say, no matter what, you can't control these such things. And really, if all that's going to be lost is game-gold, what does it matter if these idiots fall victim to it? It was their own fault for being so trusting, and they'll learn a valuable lesson they should have learned when they were children. Don't trust those you don't know.

Gifted, not traded, because the economy would be hugely imbalanced.
