the problem might persist but it stops people impersonating hotel staff which is probably their aim in this, pretty sure i've seen presents in the past impersonating hotel managers.

Surely instead they should give a special design for staff and send out a gift of something to make people aware and send one to every time a new user logs in. I feel like they've just taken the lazy route to solving the issue.
I think this a good step from Habbo for the reasons outlined above, scammers. This therefore means their accounts can be banned.
As its been said, apart from not being able to surprise somebody, we're not actually losing that big a' feature. I wouldn't be surprised if Habbo used the whole 'we can't moderate the messages being sent through gifts' excuse again honestly. However on the brighter side, we will be able to track down those who are attempting to scam - which should hopefully decrease a lot if not completely - with the removal of anonymous gifting. Yeah, it makes it easier for the hotel Moderators to track down the users impersonating Hotel Staff, but it also makes it easier for us to know who to report or avoid or even just be further aware of.
To conclude, for me, it is a mix of positive and negative although as you can see, I'm highly bias towards positive.
