When I first starting playing (towards the end of House of Toys event) I didn't even realise that certain things were freely giftable when visiting. All I knew was that I needed dragonflies and cotton balls, but didn't have the reagents to craft many.

I saw other people on my FL had them on their wishlists and so I followed suit. Occasionally I was gifted a dragonfly or cotton ball, which must, I now realise, have been gifted via visiting. At the time I assumed this was just people being kind to a newbie, which it may also have been.

When I discovered this Wiki I found out that I could freely gift, which I did. But I was only doing it for about a fortnight before that was taken away.

So I'd guess that it's just not knowing in lots of cases, rather than people being lazy about crafting.

I almost quit at "the hump" because it was taking AGES to get the reagents I needed to make the stones that you need to make the 'flies and 'balls. In the meantime you can't make fangs and thread etc. All of that is easier now "the hump" is beind me.
