Friend List Issues/Questions
A few things to go over here. So, the gift box started working again last night. I accepted a few friend requests, and sent one out that was accepted, all of which are now on my list to gift. Today, however, I had 7 more requests, accepted them all, and none of them are showing up in my gift box. I also deleted one (from last night) that gives me "connection timeout" (probably an iOS player), but he still shows up in my gift box! I have never had this issue before, not sure what could cause it. Worth noting that I still have not taken the "Ninja Update" from a week ago or so.
My other question is regarding checking how active my friends are. I have a list that is pushing 300 now, and I would like to weed out anyone that either doesn't play or rarely plays, but I don't know if there is a way to check this. I thought I remembered reading something about being able to see the last time someone logged in, but I can't find that on the Uplay site or on the Uplay screen in-game. I don't want to just remove random people, so I won't, but I would like to get it a little bit more organized.
EDIT: Just wanted to add that my game has frozen and stopped ("Unfortunately, Trials Frontier has stopped") three times today, all during gift claiming. The first two times, I still got the gifts. Just now, they all disappeared and I got nothing. Hopefully just some wonky stuff after the recent fix.

seems the 2nd question would somewhat apply here as well:

Some combo of never gifting, very bottom of showdown rankings and/or very bottom or worldwide leaderboard prob helps weed people out
that said, i deleted about 10 friends this weekend trying to help w/ the gift box issue and they all still show up, so it may be pointless

I had the same problem that new friends didn't show ingame. They came visible after reinstalled frontier

My friend had that problem (a I shortly after him) and they all showed up after a day or two.

I think the real problem is the fact that deleted players still show up on your gift box! I deleted everyone who kept giving me "connection timeout" but they're still there. I found that gifting Golden Tickets through the bunker skips all of the problematic players, however, it also seems to skip some legit friends.
I wish redlynx implemented something like "gift fuel & tickets to all your friends" button. Would make life sooo much easier

Deleting everyone below rank 20 near end of season seems to work well for me.... If they Arent progrssing they probably aren't gifting either. Same with anyone below global rank 500k (substitute your favorite number here)
Whenever I get done adding/deleting a set of people, I always kill/restart the game.... I never experience any odd issues with added/deleted players. Uplay has bugs and this seems to avoid them....
I have 400+ friends and never encountered any of the gifting issues thank goodness.... Just a temporary hiccup the other day when there were server issues. That being said, I avoided changing anything friend-wise for weeks while the gifting problems have been occuring; I didn't want to risk anything.
. But now I have to decide if it's really worth it to add the 80+ friends I have accumulated in the meantime.....
I always add people with pictures as friends first, and only 5-6 at a time; I take a snapshot of them. Before I add them I gift everyone I have. Then leave/come back and then gift the few new guys.... If they don't connect (ie android players) then I remove them (using the snapshot if I have to in case their names don't match). It's a little slow but it keeps my list connection-timeout free.

I just don't want to remove anyone that relies on those gifts, and anyone who plays daily.
