AAA no longer giftable?!

i want to gift an AAA to a guildmate but in the message "you cannot select a monster at this rank".

i remember that i gifted an AAA in the past so is this new? Can't find anything in the help files :/

If I remember correctly, we never were able to gift AAAs. It just means you have to set a trade for it. It just slows things down a bit since we can only do 5 trades unless we do soul point dark summons. Anyhow, have your guildmate make a trade for your AAA. Then, you just have to complete the trade. You just need to get the trade number and trade unit so you don't accidentally complete a silly trade like 1 yellow Flesh Stone of Vitality for your AAA.

AAAs are giftable, or at least we have done it before (yes, recently).  The AAA+ version was not.  So, basically you have to gift it before you evolve it.
