Can't purchase gift for a friend

I want to buy an Object 120 for a friend and after spending hours jumping through horrible hoops of time wasting nonsense because you cant buy gifts through Steam, I discovered I can’t buy gifts through the standalone client either because ??? No error code, I have my friends username obviously, I click “buy a gift” and nothing happened. I clicked it again, nothing happened. No error code, just nothing happened. So I clicked it 1000 more times and screamed about how much of my time gaijin is wasting just so I can give them $25 and nothing happened.

So what gives? Sorry I can’t provide an error code, there is no error code. I cannot stress this enough, NOTHING HAPPENS. I already own the object 120 myself, and I noticed on the store in the browser there is no gift options for tanks that you already own? Is this the problem? If so, thats beyond stupid.

Hello, in the store web browser there is an option to purchase as a gift even if you own the tank.

If you don’t see that pop up window then try switching web browsers or clearing your cache.

I think the site is laggy or something, I have had issues with basic operations before as well. In any case this was my second try, its not working from within the standalone client that I downloaded specifically because it wouldnt let me do it through steam and the option in your screenshot simply does not exist for me.

Plus the sale is over, so yeah not buying it. This game only exists because it has no competition, their services are borderline unusable. Lol 2FA doesn’t even work 90% of the time. Go eat a tubesteak Gaijin, rat diddlers.

Where is this option? I tried using brave and edge, refreshed multiple times, tried buying it directly through the game, nothing worked. In any case it doesn’t matter because the sale is over and I won’t buy it on principle. I’m just here to prove that gaijin sucks at this point.

Hi, the option should be below ‘already acquired’ or ‘purchase/buy’ like below

I just took a look at different vehicles in-game and on the web browser and i have gift options for vehicles i own and don’t own. Which leads me to guess it’s maybe your region or currency that might be stopping this from happening?

Not sure why but that’s the only other thought it leads me too, i could be totally wrong of course as i don’t work in support or store team, i’ve not seen or had this problem before.

What i’d suggest is contacting support Support and sending them a ticket in advance for christmas sales (if you plan to buy anything) to see why you don’t have this option on the web browser or in-game.

When clicking the link be sure to sign in using the option top right of the webpage. Sorry this couldn’t help you before the sales ended but hopefully support can get you a clear answer.
