Friend wants my crowns

Hello I was just asked by a friend if I could buy him a lore pack. I don't know what to do because he is my friend and he did really nice things to me. What should I do?

Such an interesting question...

The decision ultimately lies to you,
But, has this friend:

Repeatedly asked for items?

Help?

If he/she seems to be the type to only want to receive and not willing to give, I suggest you exercise some level of caution here.

However, if it's Genuine and you two are coming from a while back and you can afford it, then why not?

Be sure to let him/her know that this won't be a regular occurrence!

I understand that they are your friend, but unless you actually know them, or you have way more money then you know what to do with it, Don't. They don't deserve it most likely. Unless you openly offer it it's my opinion that you shouldn't give packs to people for helping you.

If you want to give them a pack and IF your parents know what you're doing and agree to it, go ahead. You should work it out ahead of time exactly what and how many you'll give.

If your parents say no, or if you don't want to give a pack, just tell your friend that your parents turned off the gifting feature. (That's an actual thing that parents and adults can set in our accounts. No Gifting means it's impossible to give any Crowns items.) If he's a true friend, he'll understand.

If you do not want to gift them just tell them, if them asking makes you uncomfortable tell them that also! You are under no obligation to buy anything for anyone regardless of how long you have been friends!

If any of my friends ask for a pack, then it's a definite no. A 'friend' should never ask for something that costs the other player real money items.

Everyone, while what you have posted is often true for those "friends" who ask for many things ( help or gifts ) I think you over looked a couple of things said in this post
1. "He did really nice things for me."
2. He asked for only one Lore pack.
If this person has acted as a good friend and hasn't shown that he's greedy, then if it's ok with your parents/guardians ( Or if you're of the age to make this decision for yourself.) Then there's nothing wrong with granting a friend's wish.
Usually my friends don't ask for a gift, but on a few occasions a good friend has asked for a gift and I have no problems granting a special request like this.
