I have the same experience as all of you report. The majority of my FL players seem to be in dire need of premium fixers and some regular fixers (possibly second accounts?). To add perspective, if one played the game prior to the treasury update the only fixer that was elusive or in need was the fluff. The game used to generate all these fixers in the Thank You boxes. So the players who started prior to the Treasury Update in July 2016? do have plenty of fixers in supply. But those will dwindle over time. Minki, I feel this game is challenging enough for the casual game player...mostly due to the very limited energy given in the early stages of play. I do like gifting CIs each week and do enjoy helping those in need to finish up sets that might allow them to play longer and not get frustrated. This new villa, for example, is a bit tougher and may require the use of tools to finish up. I admire your self-sufficiency and am happy you made it over the hump period AND stayed. LOL. There is a balance for me beween gifting fixers, access keys and CIs and I tend to do 2 sessions of each type each week. Minki when you came on my game you probably got a little more of a boost in terms of CIs than the average player does because you were from here and had been seemingly expressing frustration in some of your posts. I know you felt my CI gifts were too much or made you feel in debt but I never felt that way. If a person wins the lottery they sometimes share with family and friends (maybe always?) so I feel fortunate to be able to help where needed. Steiconi, I do gift fixers as I have more than I need currently but agree with all of you that crafting and figuring out each stage is important - gaining self-sufficiency. Unfortunately too many players quit before they really get a chance to get into SN as you all have. I've been successful at keeping a few afloat until they feel as you do so they stick around. I wonder if players are still complaining about the removal of the free fixer gifts from the Visit Window?
