Yes, I think you hit on it with that word overanalyzing. We cannot know what most of the players on our friend list are in true need of unless they come to a forum or make use of the username field as best they can. The WL only reflects a possible current need or a tough choice someone made. OR it could be items put up to fill in gaps as I might do but don't "need" the sets as much as someone else might. But my friends who are able to gift that item to help me do so and it is their way of saying thanks for something I helped them with. Lots of different things going on. Sometimes I WL fixers so I can send them from my old game to my iPad for gifting out. I try to remember to put "Xfer Only" or "NoGiftsPlz" in the hopes someone does not give up a precious fixer. But I have a few friends who I know by their level need the fixer but want to craft one and send to me as a thank you. Every gift is a token of appreciation and of efforts to engage so I take each one on its own merit (well string is interesting though if it comes as a diss or to be funny from a higher level friend). I've been less helpful with piggie sets not realizing that others have any coin shortage both because I am an accountant and had oodles of coins even prior to TT and because now that I TT I get them from trophies. Would be nice if I could gift some coins themselves but I will take a long look at some of the sets I didn't think would be helpful and see them in a new light. Like Eyeris I am still helping with fixers but understand that at some point players who want to not be casual will have to learn to craft. I really do not think the game instructions make it clear that crafting should be done as part of each session. I've had players tell me they thought it was only for the Quest items that sent them there (they were not getting the big picture). It is very unfair of Mytona to raise the number of the premium fixers needed to combine sets especially given the math pointed out above. And Minki, thank you for that detailed summary. I'm going to make a cheat sheet for myself on the various sets I have in excess that I thought were useless and categorize them by the award so I can be of better help. The premium fixers I will have to supply, though, based on Cosmos' assesment.
