Much like a lot of facebook games do, I believe that GL should allow players to send gifts to their friends through the application requests. This could include artifacts, minerals, research points, maybe at a cost of credits and a 24 hours recharge per player. Am I the only one?

But what I mean is there is a set list of gifts that you are able to send, not your own, an example for this would be farmville, tetris battle and treasure madness, which allows you to send gifts through a list made by the developers, sometimes paid and sometimes free.

You can also share artifacts onto your page, first one to click it gets a copy.

But over all this game is staying away from that.


I could say it would be cool to give gifts that are only gifts. They should show up on you ship page and hang there looking nice, with a comment. But they would be in who you know and not posting every place. Controlled is key. Less spamy the game is more people will stay with it.

I'll use a specific example. Tetris Battle allows it's players to send energy to their friends, or the player could buy it in the shop for a certain amount of ingame money. As for the less spammy, that's why I included the 24 hour recharge between gifts.

I know what you are saying and the game will likely not do that.

I agree, this is a really bad idea. One of the biggest things I like about GL is that there is so little spam. I used to be a major Mafia Wars player but the spam got to the point where I was drowning in requests. With GL, my profile is clean and I can focus on playing, not dealing with requests.
