I am constantly amazed at what players need. I had a level 240 request the red strip thread. Every once in a while I gift from the gift list (not wl) sending to whoever is listed as your friend needs this. I sometimes start at the bottom other times from the top. As far as gifting ideas from Mama Terri, Thank you for such an extensive overview. I learned new tricks. If there are more ideas incorporated it might be worth moving. GIfting and visiting are very sensitive subjects. I don't understand why? If everyone gifted and visited the same the game would be less interesting. A reliable friend is what I value the most. If you had 100 friends that visited your sites 10 times each, that is 1000 visits. You don't usually get the benefit of all those visits, but the visitor benefited in energy, experience and CIs. Gifting helps not only by what you send or receive, but also in energy, thank you gifts etc. If you send 100 gifts and receive close to that many great. Does a single present that you don't need really warrant ire? Even 1000 gifts you don't need, ten days gifts out of 365. Clearly, if higher level players ask for lower level fixers in their wish lists sometimes, other players at their level might occasionally need them as well. I think your stock of items greatly depends on how long you are playing, not necessarily your level. The fixers you find at sites has changed over time even from the same site. How often you have visited a site with each global change of the game, determines your inventory. What you don't need today, might in a few months?, year?, be scarce and needed. Does an unwanted gift damage your enjoyment of the game? Would you gave gotten a better item? Tomorrow is another gifting day. If you don't like what a player is up to, drop them. Someone else will appreciate them. I try to be a good friend, spend a great deal of time gifting and visiting. I hope my friends are happy with my efforts. If not, I hope they find a friend that matches their friend style better. We only have 100 friend per game. There is only so much time to do friend thing. Again Mama Terri, thank you for opening up a vibrant discussion and your insights.
