Ophelia,

I would love to be more frank regarding these wish lists. I do occasionally gift artifact related items only because I have made several repeat trips to rooms that give those CIs but those items are rare. The wishlists used to baffle me too and it takes time to build up one's CI inventory.

My personal opinion on gifting is that one should not feel obliged to give something. I do not expect  my friends to toss me CIs like candy although I am grateful. Most of my nonwiki friends will send me TY gifts and occasionally, whatever free gift they want to send. I am very grateful.

As for dragonflies and cotton, I used to feel 😧 when I was at a lower level barely scraping  by crafting every single paper clip. I felt useless as I could not help my friends who needed cotton because I did not have enough resources to make them.

Again, once I reached a higher level, I felt less stressed out about the wishlists. I try to help out people with cotton and dragonflies because I know how overwhelming it can be to try to turn in a collection that asks for six cottonballs 😱😱😱😱😱.

I do so because I want to. I also know that some wiki friends who are are working on a particular premium room need to combine CIs for passes that may ask for dragonflies. Again, I like to give one when I can.

Bottom line: it is your wishlist. Your choice!
