Dev, there are a lot of reasons one might or might not put an item needed on a WL. I can’t speak for others but can say that sometimes a WL item drops during Visiting. Not your own WL item but one from your friend’s WL. This could be an argument for how it could help you get tool items if WLed by your friends. If a player has an old version game the CIs might drop more readily and they feel obliged/happy to share gifts that are harder to win on new games. Long term players (from 2015/2016) had the benefit of growing their sets easily. They may have large stockpiles they are sharing steadily.

I put WL items on my list infrequently to either fill a gap or grow a piece that I have more difficulty winning. I have to take it off WL quickly as my friends are so kind I end up with 10 and the system doesn’t reflect promptly when I remove the item as soon as I have received the first gift. I’ve even refreshed the game and still more come in. So I use it sparingly and try not to ask for those tool items I can get from my old game.

If your gifters had the ability to WL access keys/passes I’m sure they would as I know I would. In fact since this topic of an empty WL comes up so often maybe I’ll put up a piece or two for a room pass set. I think my friends know to send a pass but maybe they’d like other options like you. Good discussion point.
