Sending gifts of existing Premium Ships
Hi Guys, Devs!

I would like to give one of my premium ships to my friend. Will there be any kind of ability to trade or gift one of my existing ships to a friend?

No, no way for that and it's not expected.
It's possible to buy gifts in webshop knowing a friend's nickname: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/948461489829099931/716FF443EAC4E2574A6F1AA015C2A6709703BCC1/
https://eu.wargaming.net/shop/wows/vehicles/10606/#openOverlay=true&itemId=10606

OR it's possible to gift Steam DLCs on Steam. No way to make gifts via in-game shop now, but we'll see if it's possible to implement.

no way to trade ships or giving existing ships. you have to buy another ship as a gift for your friend and send it thorught the shop.

I'm sure that Ryuu will be along to tell you different, but to my knowledge this can't be done. You can only do it when you first buy the ship and use it as a gift, at least in the standard client.

This is actually a neat idea.

They won't do that for two simple reasons:

First, it would cut into sales. Why let you give a ship to a friend when if they really want it, they or you by way of a gift, can give them money for it?

Secondly it would give people a reason to hack accounts. Right now all they can do is sell your stuff for credits. Credits they can't send to their own account so they'd only do that if you make them really angry. There's no profit in it at all. As soon as things can be moved between accounts, suddnely its profitable to hack accounts and then WG has to devote an entire team to help people are are innept on the internet or can't keep their passwords to themselves :)

For sure, just be ready when accounts start getting hacked and so on...

You people really need to think, even if just a little bit, before putting your shortcomings in full display.

What shortcomings? Game has been around over 3 years and I have never heard of an account being hacked.

It would be nice, but it has been brought up before. As others have said, it's a marketing/money thing.
You can buy a premium and gift it to someone, but not gift an existing boat.

Accounts have not been hacked because there's no financial reason to do so. Soon as you can send ships or other goods around, there would be.

As pointed below me, there are reasons for that.

I will have to reiterate, think before spewing how little you know...

We have been able to send bought premium ships, flags, crates, etc., as gifts to anyone that has an account for as long as I can remember.
And I have never heard of any account hacks.

Actually, I know quite a bit about the game, I just debunked your statements.

You have been told why...

You being able to pay directly for a ship and send it to someone else, is not the same as being able to gift a ship you already own, but what do I say, you know a lot about the game already.

In your case, seems that ignorance is indeed bliss.

Not after you have them attached to your account. You have to buy them. If you could give your, say, Belfast to someone, you'd have someone trying to hack accounts to STEAL your Belfast to SELL to someone.
