So true, Cosmo, I don't need flasks or runes or dandelions but when I've gifted them I've noticed that they defeat the purpose as they require the very crafts these friends are short on to combine. Ungiftable collections tend to yield much more in quantity I think quite a lot of people were receiving crafts as gifts but did not know that it was due to a glitch and there may be some non forum friends yet to figure out that the glitch has stopped. As for those who were caught off guard and have sounded the SOS that they are either having to spend money to continue playing or are considering not playing due to their poor regent inventory I've personally responded so far by sending quite a lot of crafts at first along with as much advice as possible hoping to get them past their emergency and closer to being self sufficient. I'm 100% certain that I'm not the only one doing this. I will often follow up and see if they need piggy banks, collections that go towards regent artifact, ask them to check if they have a FM etc. Simply supplying someone with crafts on an ongoing basis is not sustainable. I'm also 100% certain that I'm not the only one that has responded in this fashion to someone who was caught off guard by the end of this glitch. I think this forum is remarkable in it's generosity of gifts, information and problem solving and I know if that spirit continues we can all be successful in our games. As for new players we just have to make sure that they have current information and an environment where they feel comfortable asking for help. There are plenty here willing and able and that number grows every time a new member receives the help and guidance they need to get out of a difficult spot. Gifts and tips can only help if there is communication. I have friends of high level that I can't contact who have all 5 spots on w/l filled with the same crafts everyday. There's no way of knowing what's going on with them and gifts alone will not solve a shortage problem permanently unless they are feeding from another account.
