I think the obvious needs stating...you are not the only one on your friends' FL. If players stopped being "me-centric" it would go along way. If TT friends help you game in some way then you take the good with the bad. Did I send out fixers yesteday to help those who might need a boost prior to the next update - yes. Do I know that my top ranked friends don't need any of them anymore - yes. Did any of them write me a note on a public board? No. Did any of them grumble silently? Probably, yes. The reality is, though, they also know some on the FL got very excited to see one of each fixer so they could start to have a little nest egg for when they need them. Usually I only send out Access Keys. Some times players complain about getting too many access keys when they have 200 accumulated! I did. Until I had a Quest that locked me in the Old Square for 10 or more plays in a row...then that supply does not seem quite so hefty.

Laz, if you no longer wanted TT friends and gifts (TT players often give away 90% of their energy sets won) a simple note on their message board saying that you are taking your game in a new direction and have less time available so you are cutting back would go along way. Your personal needs do not outweigh the needs of the entire FL of a TT player. Your comments "   Can you guys take turns perhaps? (lol)  Or put me down for the avatar who only wants TT gifts once a week? ... I'll just have to catch you again when I'll be begging for lovemesomeTTsvp...."

are extremely ego-centric and insensitive. The TT player is not a computer where you can enter datapoints and have them custom tailor their TT to better meet your specific needs. Then to add that you'll come back and ask for help later when you need it? I understand how Chase feels. We are not TT Barbie dolls that you take off the shelf to get your play time in and them put back up until it is convenient for you to call upon to once again when you need a barbie fix. Do you not understand how this might be considered offensive and "using". TT is not going to be around for long so you could choose to enjoy it while available knowing that might mean you see more fixers and keys for awhile than you currently anticipate needing. OR you could have done the polite thing and say YOUR game needs and playing are changing and that you are deleting players to keep it simple but thanking everyone for all the help they have given you.

Anyone on my FL now who is bothered by TT or gifts I send PLEASE feel free to delete me from your FL. I have other players who would welcome the "inconvenience". For those of you on my FL who do not TT - I will say for the last time I DO NOT EXPECT ANYTHING SPECIAL because I am able to help your game in this way (provided I am not annoying your game). Every TT player was once one who did not TT. So we all know the stink of the limitation on gifting. Please treat your TT player like any other player and gift us in rotation if that is what you do. I disagree with MommaT from above in this regard. Please do the things that you can do to help a game friend. Visit and gift daily. TT players generally like an access key if their WL is empty. TT players have stinky chit just like regular people. TT players also have feelings like other players. You don't treat your German game friends different from your Aussie game friends. You don't treat your Asian avatar friends differently from your Rusian avatars. In general, you don't treat others in any disparaging way. So don't treat TT players and gifts different than those of any other player regardless of the quantity.
