Add option for blocking gifts and bring back non-friend gifts

Recommended Posts

After a recent update gifts can be sent only to friends, a thing that I consider pretty stupid and now I'll explain why.

Since there's a limit to the number of friends that one player can have, I simply can't add every tanker that I like but after this update I can't even send them a gift to congratulate for the skills or to thank him for the help!

I know that the devs made this change because some players used the system for sending insults and other bad things, but here my solution:

- by default every player can receive gifts from anybody

- if someone receive something unpleasant, he can simply go into the settings and choose between:

  1) block gifts from everybody

  2) receive gifts only from friends

  3) block gifts only from a single user

- optional: put a word filter for the texts

 

This way every user could protect himself without the need of cripple the gift system, because I personally sent more gifts to strangers instead of friends and I think I'm not the only one right?

 

Message for the moderators

I know the rule "♦ Changes to the actual Tanki Online to its previous versions, or ideas regarding the removal of updates." but this is not the case, because I'm proposing a different system than the previous one. If you need more info just ask under the topic, please don't close it too quickly. Thank you!

Completed

 

Option to receive gifts from everybody will be added after tomorrow's update.

I do not know if they read my topic or simply it was already planned to release this option, but I have to say that probably the majority of players don't know about this option (many of them are not used to read news on the forum). For example today I made a test trying to send a gift to every player in the chat but it was impossible, maybe because nearly anyone have enabled the option in their settings, for the simple reason that they don't know about that.

I think it would be better to have"accept gifts from all players" as default option, and then anyone can choose to block them or leave it. Can you forward this idea to the devs? Thank you.

I wanted to say that. A lot of players don't read news, just go to battle.

I don't think they will do that, but I will pass this on.

I think it would be good, it's nice to receive a gift from someone who thought you were playing really well or was a complete team player or something like that

But devs said that in reality people only send gifts to "strangers" when they want to say something nasty. Perhaps it could be limited so that non-friends can only receive positive gifts?

meh maybe, though I don't get how that would work. And the devs are partly wrong, most people do only send gifts to non friends to say mean things but every once in awhile there is nice people who send nice things
