Now, those of you here are asking yourself, why are some things missing from Facebook gifting?
It's a pretty straight forward situation, some Facebook gifting items were causing massive imbalancing in the game worlds, and after significant observation the decision was made to remove them. Permanently.
This action is the result of having received many complaints about them, and our own analysis showing that the items being gifted, and the quantities were causing major issues. We found that it was going to be a major project to adjust quantities due to the way the FB API is. We were also spurred on by the fact that not only was the 140 weekly amulets causing imbalances, but it was also the source of exploitation that we had to correct before there were more problems.
It wasn't a knee jerk reaction, it is something we've been looking at for several months, and it happened now instead of sooner, or later in the year.
but instead of logging in there to post my response, i will do it here...
