Make CC Tradeable

I, personally, along with many others, cannot buy CC for various personal reasons. I think that by making it so that someone can trade CC in various ways to make it more accessible to people in my position would help.
CC eggs are tradeable. That sets a precedent.

My Ideas:

1. Make it so that someone can offer CC on Trading Post lots in the same way that we can already offer EC.

2. Make it so that CC items like the various Essences and the Resurrection Stone (and am I the only one who thinks Harry Potter here?) can be gifted, like EC items can be. This opens up another avenue for scamming, but no more so than with EC items so it's a known danger.

Thank you for your time.

@horses4ever9147 This idea has lots of greatness in it x3 I like this idea. Hope Eggcave uses it!

Well, the second idea you suggested may become real very soon (hopefully) and many people have suggested it before. But as for your first idea... it has been suggested many times before as well, but it has been said that it will never be put in place, sadly.

Good luck!

At one point, there was CC gifting. Then, after a combination of scamming and messing up the Egg Cave economy, it was removed.
When the Auction system was first being tested, you could offer CC on auctions. It did not end well. By the time it was released sitewide, that option was removed.
Before these and since these, people have suggested ideas like yours. The problem is, many ways to implement CC transfers allow for scamming. In addition, if we aren't careful, putting CC on the open market could disrupt the economy (like gifting did).

Egg Cave does not have a good history with making CC more tradeable. While I think it should become so eventually - to make it more fair for those who cannot purchase it - it won't be an easy addition.

I think that perhaps CC could remain untradeable as long as the items such as essences, stones, gender potions, etc. can be traded regularly like usual items.
