I would appreciate if you would rethink what is a new policy to me regarding the transfer of crown for gift cards. I was so impressed with you implementing a way for parents to monitor their kids crown on the accounts by allowing parents to allocate the crown the way they saw fit. A fabulous change from when I first started playing the game. Please consider this scenerio:
A parent redeems the gift card so that the child gets the pet on their account, BUT retains the crown on the parent account (through a transfer on the main site) so that the parent still retains control of when the child can have that crown.
Also, how will your computers differentiate between crown purchased through the main site and crown purchased via a gift card (oldest crown used first?). I see problems down the line with this policy. Please reconsider.
