I am working tirelsesly to reach 133, last 2 days I've been doing almost 2 levels per day and I think I'll be there tomorrow so you will see them then 😁

In terms of why mixed passes. I tried, like you, to always send a particular pass to a person that wants it. I did it for a month. I have to admit, when I wanted a pass, that courtesy wasn't extended to me and people who received a lot of requested passes from me usually sent 10 of the type I requested. There were some considerably more generous friends, but they usually don't have anything on the WL and don't request spoecific passes.

Anyway, I noticed people don't generally send only requested passes. Nowdays, if somebody asks for a pass, I do my best to send only that pass. If the request is there for days, I send 10-20 requested mixed with passes other people requested. Like that, everybody receives more passes.

I have dedicated a window of time to gifting and giving different passes slows me down meaning everybody will receive less. Near the end of event I had 5 requests for different passes... If all of them received a separate one, that would be 20 passes for everybody. With my mixing they would receive 60 passes and out of them 15 or 20 of the ones they requested...

Keep in mind I usually do 10 rounds of WL fixers gifting. I think I am going to continue doing that only on weekends, it really is so time consuming... I stopped doing it during the week to be able to mix passes.

This was possibly TMI but I thought it is worth sharing because higher levels might forger about level limitations and also when somebody requests particular pass, likely a lot of other friends are also requesting some different pass. And all that takes a lot of time...

If somebody figured out a nice algorythm for sending passes and choosing which ones to send, please share! Maggie I also know who can send what (I have a regularly updated list of which friends can send what!) and of course I wouldn't expect a friend at say level 90 to send lollipops, scarlet thingies or flower water. And I'm always grateful to anyone who sends gifts anyway.

As I said, it's just a teeny little grumble about the time I asked for Gold Threads (unlocked at level 20). I spend a little more time on each round so I usually manage 10-12 rounds. I try to send requested passes first, and otherwise send the highest useful pass for other players. So the lower level players get mostly threads, lanterns, tickets and candy. But if I'm in a hurry, I send one of each pass to all friends. The big question: is quality preferable over quantity?

An algorithm would be cool. I think the gift window could be a bit more user-friendly, to enable faster scrolling. Maybe a simple list instead of those large boxes? My mouse hand gets tired!
