Why can't we gift credits?

Do you think credit gifting should be a thing on CTF?

    **** yes. We used to be able to gift classes, so why not credits.

    I'm still +1 on this idea. I'm waiting for it to be a thing; I've got a bunch of credits I really don't need and can give them to people who do.

    Except we just lost our coder cough@NomNuggetNomcough so this should be an interesting implementation. Not difficult, but interesting. I hope there's someone that could do it.

    yes, i've got spare unneeded credits
    If the price for classes are that high, at least let us gift credits

    This is a pill that has to be swallowed with "free" classes. Gifting classes before meant more money in brawl's pocket. Gifting classes now is "less" money in brawl's pocket. The players receiving the gift no longer have what brawl perceives as an incentive to continue playing the game, so they are more likely to leave. This system runs on people consistently playing the game so of course we won't be able to gift.

    For those with more then enough credits you should understand by now that no one expects you to leave, so incentive isn't necessary for you anymore. Newer players or players that play less frequently still need the carrot in front of their face to lead them to the garden. Not that I think this system works particularly well, but that's the idea behind it. If I'm wrong and gifting classes did become a thing, then that's brawl shooting them self in their own poorly made prosthetic, which I wouldn't put past them honestly.

    I get your point and that's fine. But in my opinion, since CTF 'profits' rely entirely on people playing the game (and you know, buying stuff) being able to gift credits (so that people can buy other classes that they want and so on) could really boost playerbase interest (i.e. there's more people online on Fridays because free stuff!). Being unable to freely gift credits shouldn't have to be a thing that can't happen anymore because of the EULA enforcement. I think having a limit for how many credits can be gifted (say 15 - 20,000 or something, not too much) would still force people to put in some play-time for whatever class or classes they want without giving too few credits to be useless and without giving too many to make credit boosters completely obsolete. Point being, by risking a small loss of profit (not that Brawl is making much from CTF. I suspect they aren't) with credit gifting Brawl could potentially gain more players (cause people love getting free benefits) and maybe even make more money in the long term by providing greater incentive for purchasing a credit booster (by being able to gift credits received from it to other people who may not be able to take full advantage of the booster during whatever time span it's active for).

    Thanks for the information.

    I honestly don't know why this hasn't been added already. It might be harder now that we don't have a coder, but its still something that should be added.

    Honestly, this isn't that hard. There could be 2 ways of doing it though... Using ingame commands, or the website to handle credit gifting.

    Just give us credit sinks, so the older playerbase still has stuff they can use credits for

    I've got credits that I don't need, so why shouldn't we be able to give them to friends who have less credits and desperately want to buy a class. I understand that it's harder now without our coder but it's still a possibility within the near future, I guess
