Thank you all for posting. It has helped me understand better. I admit that the whole friend thing - knowing how to be a better friend and knowing how to use my friends is still new to me - even though I'm level 174 in the game. I'm only level 52 reputation - I didn't really include the friends "deal" in my game playing until recently.

I visit daily but for a long time would charge trophies often. Now I don't charge trophies. I generally charge the three crafting locations and then 7 of the higher cost rooms - I'm an accountant. I have started looking more thoroughly at who sends what but I still generally forget and just hit "accept all and send thank you."

I often go on crafting sprees and while I currently don't have a lot of cotton/dragonflies, I do have several of the other six so I've been gifting them - but I will say I have a few friends who have their entire WL of crafted items - and they haven't been changing - so I don't gift them the crafted items everyday- choosing passes instead.

I am one of those "higher - or mid level" players with simple fixers on my WL. Until very recently, I completed every collection and was always low/out of petals, shields, even sand and tar - so they have been on the list. I am still struggling with the dreaded exclamation point but I'm getting used to it. I actually have a couple of TT friends now and one of them just gifted me a whole bunch of petals. I have 68! I'm probably going to try to get 100 in inventory before I take it off. I'll probably lose my TT friends because I don't TT but maybe not.

I have begun to hire friends occasionally - like for the daily quest if it is for coins and I know I cannot play long, I'll hire an accountant friend as I play. Is there any benefit to the friend when I do that? Does it impact reputation level at tall - theirs or mine?

Last question, I have a lot of artifact fixers so I have been gifting them when they are on a list. Will I find someday that I need more?

Thanks again. It's kind of a "new element" of the game for me after all this time.
