Does Gifting yourself really yield crappy rewards?
 
Is there any proof or evidence that supports this? I searched and see people saying it does, but no actual proof. So if any creditable people can clarify this, please do so. I havnt had a graal christmas since playing in 2009. For some reason I always quit at the end of the year then pick the game up another 1.5 years later lol. I gifted myself 10x just to see, but yes, I have been gifting my friends that play. So far ive g4g 50 gifts including secret santa daily cap. Just wanted to get that out there before the "meaning of xmas" ppl start flaming about it.

I'm assuming you mean things like Secret Santa? Or making a account to buy gifts for yourself?

Well. For secret santa. Yes and no, You may get a crappy gift because you cannot choose what gift selection it is (Like cool,thought,cute,Smart). So in a sense kiiindaa? But for buying gifts for you on anothet acc I dont see how it can affect much since graal doesnt know its yout other acc

Probably but why risk it at all when you can just G4G, it's not too hard to find trustworthy people

Back in the day, people claimed that the system knows when youre gifting yourself, because it will be from the same ip. If its true, it sucks if you and your siblings all play.

You’d either get food or gralats for gifting yourself or if you’re gifting someone with the same IP as well (sibling, cousin, relatives, etc).

Slacky 12-08-2017 09:23 PM

Ill gift my alt account and report back after I open them. I'm pretty skeptical a system is in place like that.

Eugeen 12-08-2017 09:38 PM

You will get more waste-items like food if you gift another account from the same ip.

I'll also be providing evidence if this is in place. I only gifted from one account to the other 5 just to finish the 500 cap.

David M. 12-09-2017 09:08 AM

I gifted myself like 30 in 2015 or so and I get gralats from ALL of them so i guess

You only got gralats from the ones you sent to yourself, or including the gifts from other players?

Green 12-09-2017 11:35 AM

I'll also be testing this. I've put 40k on my alt.

Puts 40k on Alt, gets 15k back in 'presents'

:/

Eugeen 12-09-2017 01:28 PM

Idk why you guys would even bother wastin money on testing something that was already known again.
If anything just make a new account on a VPN, get the gralats on there and gift yourself that way lol

Yeah it does, trust me. I've been there, done that...
My suggestion is for you to do Secret Santa AND trade with people with a TON Of gralats. NEVER trade with people who say "Since i got scammed, u go first" or something like that

That's still 170 presents just from Secret Santa, provided you started using the feature day 1.

Tino 12-30-2017 01:36 AM

Sorry for late reply, set the 50ish gifts to one side. All of which were gralats and food. No hats or any other special items. Sorry for not having pics, wife was bugging me to take pictures and bond with my daughter. Took a vacation to Vegas this year.

Green 12-30-2017 05:00 AM

Yeah I totally forgot about this thread. I only got food and gralats from my own presents.

Rusix 12-31-2017 04:42 AM

I gifted myself about 15 times. Mostly food and gralat. 1 hat though. So it's pretty well good to believe I think and based on others responses that it yields crap rewards. So sucks if you got siblings.

MikvaGraal 12-31-2017 07:16 AM

This is bull$ht I gift myself 300 times,spent 100$ on this stupid game and all I get is 3 old recolored Christmas hats 200 Yule logs and 97 Christmas tree cookies?I demand a Refund or your going to have a lawsuit on your hands Coco.

first of all, it is your fault you bought 300 gifts for yourself to get more when you could have gotten actual rewards if you put that much real life money into secret Santa. I know it's only ten gifts a day though.

Second of all, Coco? Why her? She is has nothing to do with that, I don't know if even Xor does.

(late reply lol)

Would be funny if the more warnings and bans you get in a year the more food/gralats/furniture your gift would turn into.

Or a new item called coal that you could hold up to show off all your wrong doings.

4-Lom 01-08-2018 03:18 PM

There was coal at one point, iirc? You could throw it.
