I think it’s crazy that these are ec gifts but they don’t even contribute to the ec gift xc event… idk if that’s a bug or not but considering these are such high ec priced gifts, not only does it set up others for being scammed, it’s also frustrating that you make it ineligible to count towards the ec xc gift event 💀 I’m not sure if other people noticed that or if I missed anything stating that within the forum but I have sent these avis to my rs and she has accepted but none of it counted towards the EC event so that’s great.

Hey all,

We're working on a solution towards the EC gifts not counting towards the EC event when they were first released. Now that they're no longer available as EC gifts as requested, we need help figuring out the PIMD community would prefer more when it comes to scoring. Here are a couple of scenarios we're considering:

Option A
Have the EC gift boxes both in the regular store and the gift store. We would then retroactively count the scores of players who had gifted the EC boxes before the change, and players can continue to score towards the XC if they choose to gift the boxes.

Option B
EC gift boxes remain exclusively in the store, and we will provide some form of compensation to those who sent them as gifts before the change.

Option C
???

We'd love to know what you folks feel would be more ideal for the community as a whole.

I assume the boxes would still be tradeable to other players if purchased through the store? I can't imagine it'd be self use only, but I think it'd be best to have this clarified for those like me who can't read between the lines.

i think that you should put it only in the store and make boxes tradable with other players. it would prevent scams from occurring which a lot of people in the post were upset about in the replies. it would also allow for people to buy their avi of choice with their own ECs they want to spend.

Yes, the EC avi boxes are tradeable (the cash ones are not) 😊

The EC boxes are already currently in the store – we are right now working to helping those who were affected by the EC gifts not counting towards the EC XC.

Hey Marcie! I think Option A would be the best case in this scenario, if only for the sake of rewarding players who did send it via gifts before they were changed to the shop. However, moving forward, I would only place these kinds of avatars directly in the shop and not through gifts at all, so players have the choice of either purchasing for personal use or gifting/trading to another player.

I appreciate you all listening to community feedback and working together with us to come up with a solution that works for most. ♡ Thank you.

It'd be a little tricky to give EVERYONE what they want as far as it counting toward the xc since you'd have to account for 1.) how many were gifted before the change, 2.) how many were bought after, and 3.) how many of the boxes bought after were actually gifted/traded to another player. So currently, I don't really think there needs to be a change as far as the xc gifting goes. Unless it didn't already account for those who gifted the avis before the change. Now it's similar to.... Gifting lucky boxes or a molly stat, stuff like that. Like yes, ec was spent on it, yes it was for someone else. But now it'll just count toward the usual live fabulously xc. I don't really see a problem with that.
We wanted it out of the gifts section so people wouldn't get scammed. Now that's fixed, it's no longer a gift. It not counting toward the gifting xc is a reasonable drawback and honestly an expected one too. It's fine imo

Agree with this 100%, perfectly said 👏🏻
 
Everyone on this app could complain about scams being made but ata knows at the same time people are gonna buy ec to “trade” these items. Ata is gonna make money off of it. Doesn’t matter to them if you get scammed. It doesn’t actually hurt them. At the end of the day, until users stop purchasing ec on any potential scam trades, they’re gonna keep allowing it. Stop giving them your money, watch how fast things change
 
hellu! as someone who bought boxes for people both thru gifts and store, i'm leaning more with option b.

i've seen way too many people get scammed through ec gifts, and sadly, there's really nothing to do about it. so, thank you for moving those exclusively to store.

my concern is: for the gifts previously accepted, will they count for the club it was sent in, or will it count for the club they're currently in? some people have clubs for events like this solely for spending ec.

whatever the decision, thank you for addressing this and working on a solution!

thank you again @GoddessHailey for the tag, 🧡 i appreciate you!

Thanks @GoddessHailey for the tag. I’m a bit late so may have missed the EOD cutoff here, but I am definitely a fan of option A. I think that’s just a win all around for everyone, personally.

Thank you for the reply and working with us as a community, I appreciate that. I may be a little late for my response for the EOD deadline, but I think option A would be awesome. As Muschi said, going forward it would be better to just originally have these within the shop. If I’m late for the decision that’s alright and appreciate y’all working with us to come to a resolution rather than ignoring the issue.
 
I’m a little late to seeing this, but I’d like to put my thoughts on this if we ever have something similar in the future.

I think it is a good idea to keep them in the normal shop, stay able to trade, and be gifted. Just not from the gift shop tab like hunt gifts. Similar to how past avi boxes, furnitures, stats, and other items are able to be traded with the option to gift. If you’re buying/selling it’s more secure to go through a trade but if you want to surprise a friend you can gift. Hopefully I’m making sense here lol.

Thank you @GoddessHailey for tagging me.
