PFay, TT is “Time Travel”, a technique used in gaming for various purposes. It involves changing your device time for some benefit. In Seekers Notes it allows player to gift more than 10 collection items (the daily limit) by sending out over many device days. It allows a player to collect his/her trophies over multiple days to secure more energy for longer game play and to collect items needed for crafting. There is a long thread about Time Travel under Eureka moments as well as a blog post whic I hope someone will provide you the link to. The game at its core is fun. It is multifaceted as you discovered which makes it more interesting but, yes, frustrating, too. Time travel can remove some of the frustrations but is not for everyone nor can some devices change the date. Time Travel can leave your device more vulnerable when the date is not current, can prevent you from receiving iMessages and limits your net access when backdated as most URLs won’t function if a device tries to communicate that isn’t utilizing a current time stamp. There are many promotions of TT on social sites and videos showing it in action on a variety of games. I suspect these game manufacturers tolerate it because it does keep players interested in a game longer, helps other players stick with it, too. The almighty dollar is important to ALL game manufacturers and most employ various social strategies to keep players engaged and making in app purchases. TT players buy things, too. TT gifts usually refer to the myriad of gifts in the recipients inbox like room passes, fixers, and CIs. HTH a bit.
