    A good friend of mine works for EA and he says there are admins and designers reading our posts so I'd say let's go all out on this one!

    Not gonna happen. It will allow hackers to give everyone donuts/items for free so EA will never let it be.

    Lets make this Something that should be in the game! We all pay way too much for stuff considering if you were to buy the sleep easy now it's 15 bucks :D lol... We should be able to share what we already have! EA can worry about the hackers it has nothing to do with us we are loyal and pay! Let us all share the game we all love! :!: :!: :!: :shock: :) :oops: :evil:

    They will to their family/friends who may then do so to their family/friends. I'm just giving you the possible reasoning behind why EA wouldn't, you don't have to accept it of you don't want to.

    It's a good idea, no doubt but would limit EA's profits.

    I see where you are coming from and completely understand but...... There are many other games just like this that have done similar thigns. You would be surprised how quickly this game could change

    This would never happen for the simple fact that people will seriously abuse the system. What's to stop people from creating multiple accounts and send all the donuts to their main account.

    While your idea may be noble, it won't happen.

    Not only that, but once it is possible to give away items and donuts, every account ever created could be a target for hackers, and they would benefit from it. As of now, no hacker would really benefit from hacking into another account.

    Furthermore, with the serious glitches that sometimes frequent this game, like the one where you suddenly log in to someone elses Springfield, having the possibility to "gift away" items and donuts during a glitch like that, would make that glitch just so much more serious...

    And also this...

    Other than that, it is a good idea. I would really like the opportunity to give things away, but as is, it might be best not to have that option.
