    Friends that dont gift?

    My friends list is getting pretty long, but I suspect many of them are not gifting regularly and I'd like to purge those. Anybody have a good technique to check who is gifting and who is not? I feel like i get way too many notifications and the list is too long to try to just remember that way.

    Right now you should leave everyone on there, because a LOT of them (myself included, if you have me on yours) CANNOT gift and haven't been able to for over a week because...

    THE GlFT BOX IS BROKEN!!!

    you should see may be different. you can get up to three tickets at once, and when you have that in your ad, you get in the moment no other tickets, even if other user to send you some. for example over night when I sleep, I get there with nothing, who all tickets to send me.
    I send my tickets all at the same time. then who really gets it, I do not know. some user living in the US or maybe in Australia ... I'm from Germany and because of the time difference, I can not take considerate. I am not an extra in the middle of the night on to ship only to tickets. so bad it is now not.

    When the gift box is fixed, what I did was take a screenshot every time I was about to collect golden tickets (didn't care to check who was sending fuel) over a 48 hour period on the weekend, when people are most available to play. Then I wrote down all the usernames in a word document and removed any friends that weren't on it. I made a few exceptions for people on here and people I've messaged with who are good ping-pongers. When checking your uplay friend list against the word doc, you have to be careful for people who's usernames show differently in the bunker vs. friend list. Make note of any people in your word doc who aren't on your friend list, then cross-check their bunker avatar against your friends list to find them so you don't remove someone who actually gifted you. Some people on here have said just because you didn't receive a gift doesn't mean they didn't send you one, and it's a matter of poor timing when your gift box is full. Well I say, delete them anyway! It'll save you both time when sending out gifts to someone who won't get it because your play times don't sync up well.

    In that other topic link i gave an easy way to cut-paste your entire friend list out of uplay.

    Over time i have gotten more forgiving on this; most things in my life are more important than trimming off non-gifting friends, i decided. . Everyone has a time in their life when they dont have time to gift so i just give'em a break. Only rule i have is never letting anyone on my list who gives me Connection Timeout. I add and immediately test.... If it wont connect they are gone

    yea so i thought of this again b/c my list is over 100 and before they knocked gifts down, i was probably only getting at most 50-60 golden tix a day where i should have been getting a few hundred, or at least over 100 accounting for missed items when i sleep. Now of course i completely miss some people while i sleep. Very aggravating. And i dont want to grow my list b/c its already a pain to scroll through 100 peeps to gift.

    That said, i dont think deleted people are removed from your list anyway, so i guess its a moot point.

    edit: and i know some people said broken boxes but still, i bet 50% of my list is either inactive or dont gift regularly.

    I have almost 350 and I gift when I can. I'm not perfect but you can count on me to gift at least once every 2 days, usually once a day though. Sometimes I just do half my list in the morning and half at night. It is grueling but it must be done! I think everyone can understand, as I wouldn't be upset if half of my friends aren't gifting that often. If they do it sometimes, I'm happy. A gift is a gift!

    yea maybe i need to take that tact, add way more and just gift less often. i guess my aggravation comes from the fact that i would try very hard to use all my tickets to give (fuel i would just gift whenever i could do tickets) so it was frustrating to give so much more than I receive. I also didnt get into adding friends back when you there was no time limit on accepting gifts AND i'm not great so i need my tickets to win. Luckily i have the donkey now, so no real reason to go all out on showdowns, just grinding chips.
