I have some leftover gems from when I purchased my extra character slots.
Is it possible for me to gift these to a friend as I have no more use for them.

I would prefer to avoid the GEM>GOLD>GEM conversion as this would mean we lose %50 of the value and defeat the whole purpose (taxes x2)

1600 gems > 16g > 800 gems.

It is not. Gem to Gold to Gem is the only way.

It would be nice to gift gems to another player. But then that might become a way of trading items to each other through mail (if people even still does that).

What would be the difference between this and trading with gold through the mail?

I think you should be able to send gems since you can already send gold.

Also, it’s be 1600 gems> X gold> 1120 gems. It’s only “taxed” on sell, so it’s not going happen twice.

The problem is I purchased gems with $cash$ and want to gift the remaining ones away.
I do not want to convert the gems to gold and then have him convert them back to gems.

This will wipe 50% of the value. There is conversion costs both ways.

Its like saying okay you paid $50 for gems, but if you want to give them to your friend he will only get $25 worth.

Just convert them to gold then keep the gold. Go buy some new pair of shoes :P

Still doesn’t help. I want my friend to be able to get some Expansion slots or maybe the Deluxe upgrade. I paid the money why can’t I send the gems.

Answer – Because you can’t.
