Avatar Gifting

[Oasis]

What if they made it so you can only gift avis from the store?

That's a slightly better idea and one I would be willing to consider, as I cannot think of any of the more serious repercussions like there are for overall avatar trading/gifting.

Farming for them still could present as an issue, which would be bothersome.

Agreed. Any implementation of avatar trading or selling would ultimately result in players farming for avatars.

And like, obviously ATA would make it against the rules like they do with furniture and the like. But it can be difficult to enforce as sometimes the farmer skirts around moderated chats to say that the furni is the end goal, and then they are noobs (or people that don't bother to read ToU) that just aren't aware it is against the rules. It's still a big issue with furniture and I don't see it getting under control anytime in the near future. We shouldn't add more fuel to the fire by adding another EC value item that is arguably even more desirable than a piece of furni.

The final day this app ever exists will be the first day they allow trading Avis and we’ll still have to pay ?

No support, sorry

I personally think it would be great because they are getting random avatars to people. If they're not going to make them tradable they should at least make it where once you choose female you only get female avatars a lot of people have avatars that they do not need do not want because they are not even that particular gender ATA just gives you whatever Avatar they want to give you besides the few you can buy. I truly think ATA should consider because the reasons given above are sort of BS. They're not realistic reasons and yes things would be a little chaotic at first but I think players would be much happier having more of their actual gender avatars to choose from.

I like wearing male avis sometimes tho. Some of them are nicer than the female ones

Wouldnt it be against ToU to farm for avatars since they cost ecs and not pimd money?

most definitely. especially since you actually purchase some of them with ec in the first place.

Ok so given how often this thread is made, what really puzzles me is how there’s always this stampede of more experienced players bumping it ad nauseum.

Like... why isn’t one nope and redirection to all the previous threads enough? What are you all in such a frenzy to prove?

Can this topic be banned from forums?

Support 1000%! The forums get old seeing these!

I mean if people think a 999ec for 50 bentos is expensive, I’d like to see the reaction to a 12,000ec avatar being 400-700 bentos  good luck lmao

 

[Sirrracha]

If avatar trading happened
watch someone sell a noob Avi for 130bentos

 

[SavageStacy]

I would love being able to trade avi's!

Gifting the avatar directly from the store with no option to actually trade avatars might be neat if you have very... let’s say giving friends.

Hi! ATA already came out and said they will not be adding this as a feature.

Why tho?

Ask them yourselves for their personal reasons. They just said that they will never do it.

A lot of players have given reasons that they would dislike avatar trading, including myself. Some of the reasons are:

• Could result in farming over avatars
• Avatar market prices would be even crazier than 999ecs since majority of avatars are the equivalent to ~10,000ecs
• It would undermine the work that players did to earn their own personal avatars by completing Stories
• It would possibly cause a loss of profit for ATA
