Thank you all for your replies.

Only SN uncharges the batteries probably because of the Internet slowness and eventual connection lost. This is a playing device, so TTing is safe, I never run the important applications on it. SN is just a game. However I enjoy every day of playing. I can do nothing about the awkward Internet speed. Definitely for those who face the slow internet connection SN isn't a good choice (hostels, hospitals, places 'in the middle of nowhere'). I would never play SN, if the internet speed restrictions were mentioned.

I like to treat the received gifts mindfully (send personal message for CI, accept the gifts one by, sending the TYs selectively). I focus on a certain friend's gifts (I wish it was possible to show the gifts send by entering a friend's name). It is my revenge over the bad internet connection, my invented mini game if you wish. I have never hitted 'accept all and TY' button since the first level', even running the numerous talismans and one Artifact. Entering a part of an AP name, may stock a CI too, if they have some letters in common like 'lant'/'fil'/'bro'; English is better adapted comparing to my language, which has special characters (é, è, à) hidden in the keyboard (for example 'random'='alé').

I might be impacted by another playing experience, where changing the name cost the rubies, GB was much smaller, TYs provided no energy, but the fixers, 'gift to all' button was absent=TYs made more damage to a TTer than a profit, 'NoTY' was commonly used. I used to check a friend's availability by sending a checking gift. Having no response, the gifts were stocked with one notifying TY sent. I closured the gifting session (50-150.. gifts) by sending specific gift. That worked great. I am used to do so.

What is wrong about a careful player? Is it too weird to play as I do? Why a suggestion of alternative gift receiving addressed to INACTIVE PLAYERS, mostly newbies, ( avoiding 'Accept All and Thanks you') were so badly received? Isn't Wikia a free space? Why an alternative was so hardly accepted, however my first question about TTing posted on 6th of Jan 2019 had received a reply one month latter? Why a player can't have an access to other players feedback for adapting own playing style?

I have tested attentive TYs treat among my friends during >4 weeks in SN.:

1) gift checking AP for a huge bunch of gifts (>20) named 'TYcoming', 'sendingTY';

2) all the TYs are sent upon a positive friend's feedback, otherwise they are limited, a few ones will notify that the gifts have been received; a friend will find 'sendingTY' too, when back to the game;

3) non TTer/name with 'TYAll'/TTer having often the fixers on WL - all TYs, unless their gifts were replaced because of the saturated GB;

4) when the updated name with 'zzz', 'offline', 'away' is noticed or 'TYAll' is gone by clicking on the avatar near the gift in the GB, the TYs are limited.

Often I gift as 'RAnyPass', I closure by 'RGoodLuck'; being unavailable I put 'ROffline'. - sending any gift and visiting any friends update a player's name. The gifts are arrived with the name used for gifting. The updated name can be shown by clicking on the friend's avatar near the gift - one additional click still staying in the GB).

A friend who adds 'zzz' during night, a challenger who aims to take the event chest box (thousands of even APs are needed) or a friend with a specific AP request (beans, etc) might prefer to receive the real gifts rather than 20-50-100-500 TYs when unavailable. This method works with a few friends. It makes gifting safe, when a reciever/gifter are offline or are in the different time zones and play on different times.

I have noticed only active daily players in this thread. Please, accept the gifts as you used to do, keep your proper playing style. I have surprisingly discovered that 'Accept all and TY' is commonly used (thanks to that thread and messaging to my few Wikia friends). I really like TYs. It it happens you give a special treat to the gifts similar to mine, you may send 1 TY when 'Offline' is noticed (as described in p.4), otherwise send them all. It focuses mostly non TTers, because I must restrict my generosity for keeping TYs under control (when 50 APs have already been sent, I gift less fixers asked by WL, unless my friend is online, etc). If the above described method isn't a good choice for playing the SN, I'll follow the majority. My GB is under control most of the time. Now, I never gift being low on the batteries. I gift only when they are sufficiently charged and I have enough time for receiving the TYs, once the gifting has been completed.

Sorry for a long reading and for possible inconvenience with my awkward English (it isn't my main foreign language). I hope won't be misunderstood. Happy seeking and enjoyable playing for everybody.
