Option to prevent player from gifting in the Nexus

[GAMEDRIX 🦴]

It's unhealthy in a lot of ways, some don't really care about getting 500 stasis device and be instant billionaire and still enjoy the game (tho I don't get it kinda frankly).
For starting players getting into their first hours and getting instant-rich this will definitely ruin their experience without them even knowing, I'm frankly shocked that people can just give you stuff without your consent, sometimes they wanna get rid of their useless stuff which is kinda rude like some ferrite or radon.. or worse giving you something of high value.
When I receive anything I immediately discard it from my inventory because well, it's not mine, I did not grind or play to get it, it feels like this kinda freedom is not doing justice to the gameplay.
I think an option to simply disable receiving gifts from stranger would be a HUGE step forward.

Its already there. Go into options and turn off Multiplayer.

I don't want to turn off multiplayer, I still wanna see people in the anomaly and do the quicksilver missions.
There's nothing wrong with the multiplayer, here I just want to have the option not to receive items from randoms without permission, I thought It was clear.

I understand what your saying and it should be a built in option in settings menu.
Hopefully one day it will be there.

I just delete what I get? Some people like to get it? some people like to give it? I like to make my own choices....

opinions vary just because people dont agree with you doesnt mean they dont get it....

Let me get this straight because I think there's some level of misunderstanding.
First I didn't ask for a change but for an added option for comfort, some people like me really don't like getting things out of the blue while being in the anomaly, while yes you can delete them, I would like to have the luxurious way of not having to deal with this in the first place ! An option to enable or disable if I receive a gift or not is not something to be agreeing on with someone, or to be right or wrong about, it's a suggestion that would not cause any penalties anywhere to anyone so do you see where I'm getting at ?
Few comments I got, I think they thought that I just wanted to remove the gift in the anomaly which is absolutely not what I meant, I meant having the possibility to disable it in the options because it's wholesome to have more option don't you think ?
Also for a fact it does ruin first time players getting in the anomaly, if they get rich the first couple of hours it might ruin someone's gameplay and it's making the game unbalanced, this option will permit us to make the game more balanced for our gameplay not having to get accidentally 10 x 9.999 gold or 6000x stasis device.

Of course if you wanna keep this on and don't wanna grind hours and hours, more power to you !

Tbh I think this option will be implemented because it makes sense but how soon ? IDK.

Exactly we'd all like to make our own choices, this is why an option to toggle on/off gifts is absolutely a good thing !

So you said it yourself, what are you not agreeing on ?

• You can set the accessibility options to destroy stuff instantly in a click of the mouse.
  If I don't want stuff I delete it no confirm hold delete just instant click gone. Rarely do I get stuff transferred to me though to even bother.
  
  
• You can also fill your empty slots with stuff you do want so players will get the message unable to transfer. That's easy to do just split a resource stack. it may be crude but it works as usually just one or two slots free. Instant delete is great but rarely do I have need to use it.
  
  Often if I do a nexus mission with noobs like the hunt monstrosities, I usually thank them and give them my excess larva core and salvage glass loot. They worked for it anyway and I don't always need it.
  
  
• There's really no need to gift anything anyway as difficulty settings can be optionally set to make purchases and crafting totally free or not on any mode. Or perhaps more fun is everything expensive and hostile. Then I'd be happy to have gifts : )
  
  
• And you can also turn of your visible Icon and ship icon to be invisible to others in network settings (while multiplayer is enabled)

Maybe send this as a suggestion via Zendesk? Hello Games doesn't really respond here, so you're just going to get other peoples' opinions, which you don't seem to want...

suggestions are still opinion, as lofty as it may seem to you, ist time players are not your responsibility. I couldnt care less if we have an option or not to recieve gifts, thats my opinion, get it. btw radon is very important.

Yep so useful and always needing it. I have a radon, oxygen, nitrogen and sulphurine farm too : )

• Also Byte Beat songs can be transferred to other players. That's always fun listening to some amazing song creations on the ship playlist.
  
  
• More barriers to game play is not a good thing. It's less confusing to simply throw away what you don't need and takes less than a few seconds to do so. Players would begin to complain the the option to gift does not work.
  
  
• It would all become even more confusing. The transfer of items is far more useful as it is. In nearly any gifts I have received items have been useful and helpful or unwanted and I get rid of them.
  
  
• It is so easy to manage with the delete button (easier with instant destroy set in accessibility) instead of fiddling about trying to remember further options 'Did I enable this? Did I enable that? Why can't I transfer that?' and so on. It would all become so confusing with another layer of complexity.
