Should House Gifting be Introduced?

Many players were thrilled with the addition of the gifting system, some disappointment was seen however, with the inability to gift houses (and tokens) to other players. I personally think that gifting houses should be allowed, if it was to be introduced, there could be an option to send either the furnished or unfurnished version of the house.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you think that players should be able to gift housing to each other?

    Seems odd to not include houses that are being sold in the crown store.

    You'd think they'd want to encourage this as that's a heck of a lot of money in crowns.

    On the PTS you can gift houses!

    On Live we can't!

    Problem they haven't solved on PTS: you can only gift a house you can preview (ie, you don't own it yet).
    Fix: allow purchase from the Crown Store instead of forcing preview and it would work just like other gifts!

    edit: I am sure I am not alone in not having a surplus of actual money but find making in-game gold rather easy and love many of the Crown-Exclusive houses that come out!

    Edit: nvm, just the crown prices are there, not a gift icon

    But everything else in the store is giftable so you’d think houses would be as well

    Not that this or any forum poll matters, I really don’t care if they can be gifted or not.

    No.

    Atleast not until gold can be traded for crowns directly

    I think it’s an issue with both how some houses give titles, and how achievements are required to buy houses. Gifting is nice in theory but runs into these issues.

    so maybe just keep it to crown exclusive houses only? I mean I honestly don't see the difference between buying a house and being gifted one, since achievement houses give achievements whether you bought them with crowns or gold. but.. if it does for whatever make a difference - crown exclusives only being giftable. done.

    If they fix it this way then you will readily see a comparison of crown prices which I think will be more off putting to players.Players will be able to see the price discrepancies.

    Houses that require achievements are not on the CS.

    Yes. Is there a point on why it cannot be done already?
