1 event of gun gifting per year.
the next year will allow gifting to the same IGN as the year before.
I don't think the gun gifting should stay active year around. To much work and risk for abuse.

There had been rumours in january that there would be a gun gifting thingy oon valentines day. Obviously it wasnt there.

If z8 implements something where users can interact with other user's accounts like this, it's possible that hackers could take advantage of it and start creating guns out of nowhere.

I have been thinking about the idea of being able to gift guns in cross fire.
I think in order for this to work there must be restrictions.

#1 Only Black Market GP, ZP and coupon guns and perhaps bonus item mall guns should be allowed to be gifted, if the owner has MORE than 1 of each.

#2 Only 1 gun can be gifted to any IGN from the owner. This will keep people from gifting multiple guns from their main accounts to a secondary. But the owner of multiple copies of the listed guns may gift to different IGNs.

#3 I think there should be a ribbon given to sender and receiver much like the gifting zp ribbon. Perhaps a name like, Pass The Ammunition ribbon.

#4 This should be a limited time event. Like once per year, Thanks giving maybe.

The limitations would keep Z8 from losing money. Why?
I spend a lot on zp and gp, I now own all black market gp guns as well as coupon guns.
I enjoy the fun of spinning crates but with no reason to keep trying I will just stop spending. If I knew that I would be able to gift a second or third copy of my guns to clan mates and friends who have less money to spend in game. I would continue to try and win multiple copies. I am certain I am not the only one. I think encouraging people who do spend money on cross fire now by allowing them to help their friends is a better bet than waiting for new people to catch up.

One more thing. It would be nice to see some new items in the Black Market GP items as well as the coupon exchange. And adding guns to bonus items is a sure way to encourage the purchase of zp.

People have asked about this before... so +0

sigh,i definately want this idea to put into practice but this is just daydreaming,the devs would never allow that,and y? just because those guns gifted r FREE buddy

Not free guns. The gun has been payed for. Why do they care who pays for it. It's still cash for z8.

They do that now. Have you never seen the all guns hack. it looks like you have been killed with an M16 but the guy was using an RPK or any other gun he wants?

the idea is nice but it will be abused, i can start a new acc, level it to sergeant first class
now i have 100k gp, spend it all on crates, if i win i can send the won wep to my main acc
if i dont, i can just make a new one and repeat the process, this idea is easily abused
so -1 from me

I don't think so. Unless they hack a web page that has a connection to the database and inject a SQL command. Which can be done as crossfire is now. It won't happen.

Hackers are dumb, they're stupid, they play around with D3D, that's kids stuff. No one wants to hack a game's database or webpage, because that's a real issue there and your ass will be in jail meeting a guy named Big Tim every night within a day.

I'm surprised No one from Z8 has posted any thing on this.
Questions for Z8

Do you know your competitors have gun gifting?
Why do you think this is?
Have you thought about how to make the players happy and still make money?

Another year has gone by. I was still wondering about the possibility. Yes we have many new maps and guns. But still nothing to do with our extra guns. Still no word from CF? No one from Cross Fire could find the time to answer me? Then again, it's only been 1 year.
