I’ve been playing Halo 5 since it came out, and I have a lot of REQ pionts that are more or less of no use to me. Why can’t I give them to friends? I can gift Gold packs, but only if I pay for them. Maybe we should be allowed to gift REQ points…
While the intentions of gifting REQ points are in good nature on paper, there’s too many risks of players getting scammed in the process.
Biggest thing is that Microsoft wants people to dish out some ca$h so they don’t want players trading or gifting non-real currency.
Going to Crib from myself here. The original post was about req packs bought with points, but points are pretty much the same thing. Just sub in points where appropriate;
Off the top of my head…
- “Send me 10 dollars and I’ll send you a 100 dollars worth of req packs.” Req packs never come. Cheating gullible people out of ten dollars. - Any other variant of the gold farming/item farming/breeding farming models that are used in MMOs or even Pokemon could easily be applied to req packs. - Existence of a req black market leads to fewer req packs sold, less profit for 343 and hurts Halo overall due to the dent in profitability - Req Pyramid schemes and you invite two people and they send you two req packs each and they invite two people and each get two req packs each. - Req lotteries; pay me a dollar and I’ll add your name to this pot and randomly select a winner for 100 dollars worth of reqs.The use of real money tends to discourage this kind of thing. You should also realize that profit isn’t in and of itself a bad motivation.
It would hurts 343s income,so they dont add it.

Because 343i would lose money if they did. I have literally lost track of how many times I’ve had nearly 1 million worth of REQ points, now think about how many people who also has that many too, then people would be gifting all the time, then nobody would ever waste real money on loot box’s. Come to think of it I wish I could gift my in-game REQ point’s since I have plenty, I hate loot box’s so be a great way to say that I don’t want them in future Halo games because I’m kind of sick of opening them.
