Snowball Mayhem Trolling?
It’s just bad attitude. Leave the game and join another.
I ran into a pair of players in snowball mayhem just now who would take the present and take it behind their tower and sit there without turning it in, stretching the match out to an extreme because points only were then being scored on kills, and denying everybody presents. Pretty much everybody else was frustrated with them but they kept insisting it was legit and not trolling. It seems to me that they are exploiting the game design to deny everybody else rewards. Can anybody comment as to whether this is trolling (my opinion) or legit (their opinion)? I kept their names, but I know that naming and shaming is against forum policy.

Give them the character names and/or account names, as well as attach any screenshots you took of them and explain what the player was doing.
Really though, the present should automatically despawn and a new one take its place in the middle of the map after a certain amount of time has passed. If a present is dropped by a player and nobody picks it up after a while it resets after a short amount of time. It should do the same if someone is holding it too long without adding it to their base to increase their score. It might be too late in the event to do something about it now, so our best hope is they fix it next year.
There’s something charming about rangers.
I met a couple of those people yesterday too. It ruins the fun of the game. It makes the match take a very long time with the other team having no real chance to win as the hoarder deposits the gift when their team has 400 points.
The gift does not respawn because the player holds it.
