You probably know by now that if you ever do not receive an aptly named TY from me, it means the gift was lost due to my GB filling up, which can happen if I'm away from the game for a while. But wanted to make you aware that sometimes players put an item on their WL because the distribution within a collection is very out of whack and they can't get the missing item to fall by playing. (e.g. 5 or 6 of all items in the collection except one, of which there are none). Although typically I update my WL as soon as I empty my GB, sometimes I leave an item on the list because of distribution issues - but it's not an everyday thing. I suspect you may have other friends that do that as well. Hugs to you both and thanks for your generosity! L2 I'm not sure I understand the distribution thing. Are you saying that you might list something you already have because having more than one of an item can make a different item from that collection more likely to fall? So you might list an item until you receive multiples of it before you take it down? That would be a good thing to know because even though you might thank me specifically, I am still sort of looking for that item to go bye bye and when it didn't, I probably wouldn't send more of it or any other item on your list until it did. So now I have another possible scenario to remember that could be going on in this whole gifting system! Even so, I bet you'd still get your multiple items and would remove the CI within days...the person I mentioned above has had the same things on his wish list for MONTHS and I am not exaggerating!

I don't really care if someone is asking for something they already have. I know some people ask for something just so they can gift it to someone else. None of that bothers me. The only thing I want to know is if they received what I sent. And that can be a real guessing game.
