Valid Buying items for other players as gifts (for money only)

[BlitZ_Punisher 69]

This is a great idea.

It will help stop scamming.

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to give paints as gifts to others?

          Why is the idea requested in topic not implemented yet? It is 2018, not 1998, yeah?

If it gets implemented, I personally promise you either one day of Premium time or a Gold Box unlimited generosity Ik.

Never gonna send one, never gonna receive one. 

 

Interesting idea though. 

[TO_King 818]

My Buyer friends, want to send Crystals/Kit/Paint/Container/Rename Pass/Clan license to non-buyer friend. If suggestion accepted it might help you.

 

Steps:

Purchase anything from shop you like to send to your non buyer

Convert it to Promo Code

Send the Promo Code to your Non-buyer friend.

He will receive what you sent him

That's how you can send shop items as a gift to your non-buyer friends.

 

But noobs will disturb x3 times more. In chat you might see ''send me Promo Code'' or ''Please send me Promo Code I play this game for X time and still poor'' or ''Today is my birthday send me Promo Code'' or ''Admin Gold Box Admin Promo Code''.

I think it's already possible to buy crystals for other players using SMS, but I like the idea of having a special in-game option dedicated to this, as well as being able to send messages along with your gift.

I don't know much about how the payments and transactions work etc... But I remember when for sms you can for £10 get about 67k? However now its 13k. Why is that idk :S 

 

---

 

Though this idea is something which should really be introduced earlier when they brought our the gifts in the game sending badges etc.. However I don't see much negatives with this to be added. Only that some players may not wish others spending their money on them. Feeling pressured to pay them back.. Or other issues like this. 

 

Then for this, would the receiver be also allowed do decline the gift? If so, I don't know how complicating it is with the refunding. Like if you paid with a paysafe card... I guess the person who sent the gift will not get refunded. Or no refunds are just simply non refundable in the terms and conditions. Or they can be but only for certain payments like on Visa or Paypal or others...

 

If the person declined, would the gift returned to the owner so then the present is then not wasted, so then he would of bought it basically to himself. Therefore there is no loss apart from rejection.

 

However we people do enjoy free things and it is hard to say no to free food D: Also lovely to see people sending you gifts, for example on your birthday day. Which is great! So it is hard to decline gifts too.

 

Though if this was to be introduced, I presume when receiving your gift, you can see it again in the "Gifts" option in your garage. With the icon of the present bought, as gold boxes shown on the example at the start of this topic.

 

Overall, there are pros and cons to this of which many pros have been stated in the first post. To win the war against scammers, etc..

 

But consideration to the receiver I think should be taken into account as well. As much as I love the idea of this.

 

As an example a receiver in this situation may not want a gift from someone they may not appreciate it from. Or someone trying to get their attention by sending them such a gift with a message. "Blah blah blah".

 

Of course for this there is no way of stopping this (the world is a very strange place) since people sadly do sending harassing messages through gifts already. Of which many I've seen are very shocking too. 

 

If this was to work which, I think it should. I'd like to see an option with respect - for the receiver to have the choice to accept or decline as least.. To then stop unwanted gifts.

Can we at least start dropping containers for others?

[Tanker-Arthur 2,971]

I don't really like this topic.

 

I mean, its great that a friend buys stuff for you, but what about the chat?

Currently, players spam the chat, begging other players to drop golds for them.

 

If this idea is implemented into Tanki, the chat would be filled with players saying things like;

"Can someone buy me crystals?"

People say this anyway.

Just like on Steam where you can buy games or DLC as a gift for a friend in Tanki you should be able to buy shop items and send it to players you like.

 

[Bydo 20,126]

too many issues could happen

 

such as players buying and then changing there minds , or giving it to the wrong accounts . due to the fact they don't have the correct locations . then would this not also allow players to find out others emails which are linked to the players giving away crystals . best thing to do if wanting to give crystals is to buy gold box's and drop in private battle to them directly.

Or you can have a code that's been broken up into two parts, one with the buyer and one with the receiver. Both players have to be online and require the code to be put it to receive the gift. Something like a 2FA login.

As much as it is a good idea and simple. I don’t believe it would ever happen :X And if so, not in ages.

[Crip 4,735]

If you decline the gift, the sender will be compensated in crystals, similar to if you accidentally purchase a "Special Offer" bundle twice.

 

I think this would be the most straightforward way to do it.

[Thiedes 1,106]

If this every gets added, while sending to some one make sure you triple check the recipient nickname xD

[Zehmiel 223]

Unlike sending crystals which you can farm, sending supplies and shop items (that you bought) is no loss to the business. Consider it :)

"Who want 99999 crystals?" says a Master Sergeant. A young Warrant Officer 1, who has just made his first big purchase (Savage kit) has had his appetite whetted for more m1s. "Talk in PM" says the Sergeant. The Warrant Officer, who is blissfully unaware that he is about to bring about the downfall of his Tanki career , agrees to give the Sergeant his password. The Sergeantt departs abrubtly.

 

Later on that day the Warrant Officer tries to log in. Wrong password. He tries again and again, with no success.

He looks ready to cry, closes his laptop's lid and walks away, never to return to Tanki Online.

I know that most accounts are linked to emails, so this example isn't really valid for higher ranks. But even so, the new "co-owner" could do a lot of damage to the account. He could (for example) get the account banned in numerous ways. He could spam kill it, crystal feed from it, afk firewasp using it, mult using it and even try and exchange it (and ending up with a ban). Not to mention just being irritating by kicking you out of battles by logging in.

 

Such could be the damage done if one gives away one's password to allow a "buyer" to boost your account's crystal value. Scammers are very common on Tanki Online, full of rosy promises of wealth. I always see them when I'm chatting on an EN server, trying to trick someone into giving them their password.

 

                                                               The Idea

 

But what people could buy items for you while not having access to your account? This is what my idea is about, to introduce a way to send other players buyer items (such as Gold Supplies, Premium accounts and crystals).

It would make a scammer's story fall apart, as one could simply tell them to send you the items from their account.

 

You might be thinking "So basically he's re-introducing the idea of sending crystals from account to account?" The answer is no. This sending of items will still cost someone real money, and it's basically the same as logging in to someone's account and buying it for them there, but sans the password-giving part, which means 1) you won't be breaking rules by sharing accounts and 2) there will be an opportunity to make a Tanker's day (such as their birthday) even more special.

 

You would be able to send a small message along with the gift.

 

Here's how I think it could be implemented into Tanki Online.

 

Step 1: Clicking the "Shop" button will open up a box, as shown below. Exactly the same as the previous box, but it contains a "Recepient's Nickname" box as well, where you can type the name of the lucky tanker you're going to send it to. If you're buying for yourself, just type in your own nickname and you will be taken directly to the shop. If you're buying for another Tanker, another box will appear as in step 2.

 

 

Step 2: Then, like a standard gift, you will be able to write a short message to the Tanker you're sending the gift to. You will then enter the shop.

 

 

                                   Receiving The Gift

 

You would receive it like a regular gift, as shown below. If, for some reason you failed to claim it, it would be stored in a special pop-up box which could be accessed from a button located next to the "Daily Missions" button.

 

 

I think this idea would reduce scams drastically.

As stated by @fordmustang12345, this idea could make giving out Youtube contest rewards much easier.

why can't you  just send the payment link to whoever is willing to buy you crystals or whatever from shop? yes you can do it ! you can go to shop choosing the country of the guy who  is willing to buy for you and shop will open you can select what you want when the payment page loads on browser copy the URL  and send it to him / her :) (through something safe like discord skype FB etc or u can just use Forum Pm no? :)) he will enter his card or paypal details and confirm the purchase and boom you will see a thank for purchase pop up on your screen :)
