5sides,

When I started in May, I purchased some of the Ruby deals that came with the free chests of CI's.

In addition, I also received the higher level CI's while visiting. So I had a lot of partial collections from rooms that were not open yet. Once I found this Wikia site, I changed both the way I gift, and what I requested on my WL.

Although I rarely request CI's on my WL now, when I started, I did, and it wouldn't have occurred to me to worry about what room the collection had come from. So some of what you're seeing might be a combination of all of the reasons you listed. In addition, they might be looking at the prize you win, for instance needing winding keys...and then listing the collection pieces they need.

Also, I sometimes see a whole collection listed, which I think is odd. But, one explanation could be that the player has more difficulty with the room, like Ancient Cards, or Mosaic. The quest comes up and they get frustrated because they don't win the items.

I think that people who read this Wikia pick up tips (like playing with talismans as often as possible) and most have a more productive game because of the tips and support from other players.
