Crown Store gifting soon?

Vimora · March 2018

Was a gifting option ever considered for the crown store? As in I have some Crowns and I want to buy something for another player.

thats no real solution.

in the past i played TERA and there is one big deal with the ingame store: most of the items can be traded.

how?
most items you purcase (ex.: also includes character slots) are items you have in your inventory and you have to use it to get the items/stuff you want.

that way you can buy stuff from the store and sell it for ingame gold.

and bevor someone throws the "this hurts the economy" or "p2w" axe: thats ***, economy is quite well, and shiny stuff doesn't make a game p2w

but since the tera ingame store is more reasonable priced then eso's crown store ... don't know how this would work out here

BDO store has a gifting feature. You can directly send stuff to other players' accounts. The store is pretty expensive E35 for an outfit.

like the secret world store (and many more). tera's solution is imo better, because you can actualy trade stuff, and removes the trust you need when you can only send stuff, because you don't know if the other side pays in the end.

I know all about it... LOTRO has one of the worst systems where you have to COD very expensive store-bought items and there is a chance the other side is a troll and you won't see it back for 2 months.

Anyways... just for the record, this thread was about gifting, not trade. When you want to give something for free.

I did this (submitted a ticket) several days ago, about gifting an item from the Crown Store to a friend that I recently introduced to ESO (I bought her the game and Morrowind during the holiday sale in December). I got a reply back that they "couldn't make any promises" but they were "forwarding my request to the team that handles these." That was three days ago. Not a peep since then.

Reply to that email - all the times I've gifted items, I've had to drill past that first auto response.

Thank you, I have done so. I figured I would give them the weekend, but we're well into Monday now EST. And they use EST for most of their announcements about PC/NA, so that's what I'm basing my timetable off of.
