Recycling old avis and slapping a big price tag on them AND making them a gift knowing people are going to get scammed. Dudes it's like you don't actually care about the people on this game anymore. You are setting it up for people to be burned and you know it.
I understand your point and the frustration for the avatar that cost ec. But some also to put a price to have it right away the 1B when only 45 minutes later some where offering to send for free the 1B. Lately, ATA has been making changes upon feedback and it just take a few hours. Now, if people hurried to buy when there’s more than 24 hours to purchase items… We cannot control people in their decisions. We can tried to informed and reach a max of people… Same thing, we cannot control people who don’t check the forums nor give their feedback either on forums or in pimd discord. And only provide their thoughts on campus chat USA or Asian only or only want to listen to someone break it down to them & only want to read half of the explanation.
I appreciate them being put in actual Shop. Perhaps this detail should be added to the main post for the utmost clarity.
I wish you would’ve put them in shop in the first place, & made the ec gift actually contribute to the xc event. Such a rip off.
Thank you for putting them in the shop instead, but they should have been put into shop to begin with. You guys, as the developers, know that gifting is not as secure as trading, which is why you developed a trading system. I know you're not stupid to think gifting is safe. So you knowingly made these for gifting only, knowing it would lead to some being scammed. I get that it's Christmas and you want to promote "the spirit of the holidays" and "the spirit of giving," but there are many that play this game in a greedy and unfair manner. Even the regular EC gifts are constantly being scammed with. Gifts in general are just a bad idea unless they are for in-game cash, so people are less likely to scam with them. But, thank you for listening to our feedback and actually moving them to shop. I'm sorry scammers are ruining our holiday season.
I still see changes being made, and it's been over an hour since the first significant changes. They have added a cap on those boxes, including the one that cashes 1B in cash, and if you haven't accepted yet. Only one will appear in the showcase, even if you were sent multiple. So I'm hopeful that somebody will add an announcement with the mention {update} with hours since the change applied, what the change is, and how long it will be available (extend or not It's important to know, so if there's a mismatch, we (mods, players via help ticket can somehow alert you.
It’s not broken. They Avis are now in shop. You can either buy them with your ecs or get them traded by another player. They are not giftable anymore
They can still be bought from other players for bentos. They just have to buy it from the shop instead of gifting it. This helps prevent people from getting scammed.
Hey folks! Thanks for all the feedback around how the avis were released through gifts. We see you, and we’ve made a tweak to help things feel smoother and more accessible. There’s now a brand-new “Winter Throwback Avatars” section in the Store where you can buy the EC avi boxes directly, rather than going through the Gift Shop. These boxes are also tradeable. A couple more things to note: EC Boxes: Max purchase of 5 Cash Box: Max purchase of 1 and still gift-only Thanks again for the thoughts and suggestions, y'all. Keep ’em coming!
If the format is to be redone, will this be add right away ? Because I’m sure you plan to redo this again. Will the mechanism of a max purchase and a section in the store be implemented first?
as an 11-year player i loooooooooove when old avis come back but these prices and the method of obtaining the items are ridiculous. classic ATA "hmm what can we do to sell more ecs and also encourage scamming so people spend more money on ecs that they lost"
