If someone just wants to add numbers to their FL for visiting, then I suppose that's a way to go.

I'm realizing this is, in fact, true for many. When I get a Mytona-generated friend request or even random people who read here and may not post but see my code and send an invite, I generally accept. Especially if someone only has a few friends - because I know understanding friends changed the game for me - and I was about 150-160 levels in when it happened. Or lower level players because I thought maybe I could help. Unfortunately, it only rarely works out. Often, I end up deleting them a month later. I just deleted some this morning in that category. They simply aren't playing the friend element. That's okay and I don't need reciprocity in friendship - but I do want them to take some responsibity for a two-way relationship. I have several TT friends and I love them for taking the time to send lots of passes. I also have several non-TT friends and I love them too.. I have some who faithfully visit everyday and others who don't have time to visit daily but visit when they can. I know my non TTers need fixers so when they have them on WL, I try to send. Some of my friends seem to have tons of CIs and I'm blown away by their generosity.

For me, the friend element is a fun and cool part of the game - not a chore. For others, they don't have as much time. But when people aren't playing the friend element at all, I delete them as I feel that they are just using me - and don't even appreciate what litlle I can do to help them.

I'm slowly getting to the point that most of my friends are from here and that suits me. I could use a few more higher level friends as I now have many more at level 150 and below but I'll patiently wait until players need new friends :)

Yes, it's an all-day conference call day here at work ! Lots of posting from me today :
