How do you give "gifts" in poe?
Another "abuse" to look into.... gifting yourself. One thing about PoE accounts is that while they're free, you get kind of locked into a single account due to your MTX purchases. A player with a bad rep would be able to ditch is bad account and "gift" all his MTX over to a new one, adopting the new one as a clean slate.

Other than putting it into the EULA, what will stop someone from trading in-game items for MTX? Seems to also provide fertile ground for scamming, though all of these cases will boil down to being the "fault" of the naive or inexperienced gift giver.

" It's implemented so that you gift purchases as they're made, rather than existing microtransactions that are in your stash. " I completely agree with this concern, and haven't turned it on (or even discussed it publicly until now) for reasons like this. At the end of the day, it's equivalent to one user saying to the other "hey, can I paypal you some money?", which is against the rules. If we go ahead with enabling gifting, we'll make it clear that people aren't allowed to trade microtransactions for items. Those who flaunt the rules will be caught by the same mechanisms that catch people who already try to use external currencies. Lead Developer.

Fair point, it won't enable any behaviors that aren't already possible, though I imagine people might feel it is okay to trade items for MTX as both are in-game objects, so it feels less wrong.
I think gifting will be a great feature, and it will increase sales, too. Will anonymous gifting be possible? It is a lot more fun! | |
Anonymous gifting is already possible. I've been lucky enough to have experienced it from both sides.
It's really THE best experience I've had with PoE thus far |

The reality is if I keep supporting, I will always have more points than I can use. I have one or two people I would love to buy MTX for. I think this is great.
