Ah, for a second I almost thought this was going to be automated. If it were automated, I'd imagine this would quickly lead to RMT. Are you guys planning on checking to make sure people aren't arranging trades for stash-tabs/etc?

This is the most blatant cash grab I've seen GGG make. Ever.

And that's coming from me.

Tip from a gifting pro, GGG: 'real friends' don't play PoE. They try it and then quit and wonder what sort of fucking masochist you are while they're off playing genuinely fun games casually. The only people PoE players know who also play PoE are less 'friends' and more 'fellow addicts'. And while I might be inclined to buy them other games on Steam, there's no real need to buy them anything here because, as mentioned, they're fellow addicts and already have what they want here.

This is incredibly poorly thought out on your behalf. And the timing is terrible.

What's funny to me is that China already has the option to trade duplicate, or even regular mtx to each other.
