Like, how weird is that. Anyway,  I requested my friend put cottonballs on her WL if she needed them so I could gift & them (along with a c.i. collection gift that required them). I did realize I was asking her to forge perilous wish list waters! Good heavens.

Dystopian Me - putting that in an avatar is brilliant! In my case I don't have a ton just wanted to send one fluffly little cotton ball to one friend ; ) & I did ask her on her Wall if she needs them - so we'll see.

Malt - I like you already!

If I remember the thread correctly, I don’t think it disparaged people asking for the occasional crafted fixer, it was more about people who kept a permanent wish list of them - would I be on the right track there? Sometimes I’ve run short of flasks, runes & flowers and I’ve asked for help to get over that hump, especially if it involved a quest that I needed them to complete a collection for. I know that my friends have responded graciously and generously in those occasions. I’ve seen others that also put cotton and dragonflies on their lists in a temporary capacity and I’m sure that they got the same result. It’s when someone makes a WL that is comprised entirely of crafted fixers and it never changes that I think people wonder whether they really need them or not. (I’m trying to tread delicately here as I don’t wish to offend anyone or get this wrong.) I think most people use their WLs to get items they need to complete a collection - although I did have one friend that had a permanent WL comprised of a particular collection that generated flying time, and Opal (glutton for punishment that she is) often asks for items that will give her chocolate bean collections, but she’s kind of special, so we indulge her - the rest of us try to avoid the room she pommels! I often send her items from the hypnosis collection even if she’s not asking for them. 😹😹😉😉 I think many of us try not to abuse the generosity of our friends by asking for too much. That’s not to say that one shouldn’t keep a full wish list of items you need to complete collections, or rotate items in and out as needed - I’m not saying that at all! I love to gift whatever items someone needs and have many collections available to my friends for the asking. But I’m less likely to gift an item (CI or crafted fixer) that never disappears from a WL because I don’t know that the need is there and I’d rather gift it to someone who does need it, free fixers aside, since I tend to have limited stock. Does that make sense? I don’t know if I’m explaining this very well. Anyone else like to comment on whether I’ve got the right end of the stick?
