I believe that they're doing it to reduce abuse*; I'd read about VALVe requiring it on AlliedModders (thread: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=170225 ) but I'm not seeing the EMail in question anywhere in my inbox.

Also no worries about the email, these things do happen haha

Wut? Why would Quickplay be required for gifts? that doesn't make any sense at 
al.

I'd
  understand if it was in regards to the registering, but regging the
server doesn't require the server to be in quickplay afaik.


ps: sorry Gaz for yahoo reply fail.

It requires at minimum 10 players for gifts to start dropping, however
last I checked if your server wasn't registered with quickplay
matchmaking for at least (I believe 10) hours they won't drop.
