Group Gifting Feedback Thread

No just no with these prices. It doesn't matter that you get 10,000 Gold... you don't give it to 1 person.
Imagine if I have 5 members in my Group lol do I need to spend 50 bucks to gift each one 400 gold 

Just a comparison in TWD No Man's land a Group gift is 400 Gold for the whole Group and you can also write a custom message. For Christmas now the Gifts are just 100 Gold so for 50 bucks I can gift the whopping 75 Gifts to every single members so that would be 1425 Gifts in total!
This comparison might not be the best one since I am comparing NML’s Random chance Group Gifts to OW’s guaranteed reward Group Gift.
I hope we can also see Packs with chance of drops so then they are cheaper since chance is cheaper than guaranteed from what I have seen.
Also I hope we can have the option to use Gold too since some of us buy gold deals with cards and have spare Gold.

The prices will need to be looked at, the cheaper they are the more people will by them simply because it's giving to your friends and group mates. NG should look at how much is given per member not how much is given overall.

YOUHAVETOBEFUCKINGKIDDING.......
I regularly spend money on the game and have a great group all in my local city. We're even planning a real life meet-up. But no way would I spend these kinds of amounts on such terrible gifts. Nobody else in my group has either.
If you could get something decent for $10 or so, I would definitely have spent the money. Instead I spent $0.
While I do understand the reasoning behind the pricing (ie 400 gold x 25 people etc...) I still feel under general public, especially since so many are still on lock down, going back on lock down, unemployed etc... the pricing does need to come down. This would generate more buying most definitely I feel, and make those who's team is not a full 25 feel it more worth the purchase. Tho in the latter it does make me want to ask why you don't have a full team (even tho I know there could be a plethora of reasons for that - so really a moot point IMO)
I also like the idea of being able to pay for it with existing gold or coins!
AND I like the idea of possibly further tweaking this thing to where maybe gifting to specific people is an option. Even if this option is just for team leadership to utilize as a reward for top players, or to use as a reward for a team challenge etc... So being able to gift the team OR an individual.
As a whole, the community has been asking for the ability to do something like this for a VERY long time - I hope it becomes a permanent thing!!!!! Im a two thumbs up to keeping this feature!
IMO and I know I have said it before but here it goes again... prices are too expensive for items. I understand they may correlate with current prices of items but it's to expensive. Especially during a global pandemic. Bundles for $5, $10, $15, $20 would be more appropriate and bought by more players. More players buying means more players staying and playing.
I would like to see a 5 or 10 flare gift bundle to gift. So many players rely on flares to play now especially in lockdowns. Most families have been affected not only not only by lockdown or just staying in but financially also.
A grenade group pack and health kit one would be nice also. The mixed ones could be helpful but players typically need 1 or 2 specific items and not necessarily bundled things.
Again...just my thoughts 🙂
The crates did not refresh from Saturday (Australia) until this morning - Thursday (Australia) limiting their availability to those of us who wished to purchase.
Any gifts unclaimed should have been redirected to the gifter, rather than disappear into a black hole, as they had been purchased and payment in full made.
The ability to send gifts to individual team members, rather than the team as a whole, would have been beneficial and recognised the different ways team members contribute.
There should have been a small daily gift available for minimum/no cost that would have allowed every player, regardless of their financial status, to have participated. NG should duplicate Niantic’s postcard mechanism.
All in all, the group gift shop is a brilliant idea, but one that suffered badly from exceptionally poor execution.
Probably making a video!
