My first reaction was, “Oh cool!”, but then I realized… it doesn’t tell us who bought the pack. I immediately wanted to thank whoever bought it, but could not figure out who, as my alliance can sometimes be pretty quiet.
My Suggestion
I think it would be a lot more convenient if the message told the player who bought it.
Example: You have received a gift from “Player 1” through a purchase of the following offer! You can view the offer to give back to your alliance.
I know you could just ask your alliance and find out, but I think it would be a lot more convenient if it told you who bought it directly in the message in your inbox.
I actually like the anonymity of a “Secret Santa!” But then my alliance is very vocal and we have been friends for years!
However, I do understand your position on this subject, maybe instead of just telling everyone who purchased the “Blue Energy Pack,” have an option for the buyer to allow them to choose whether or not to inform the entire alliance of their generosity!
Some would like privacy and wouldn’t want to be seen as big spenders or continually spending but that’s a given with VIP levels displayed. (Other than total power/days played)
In this case, it’s an alliance benefiting offer. I doubt there would be many such cases and we can already see who purchased the offer for us in Alliance chat except this time for some reason it is not displaying to me.
