Well that is it for me and gifting!no non DIS gifts anymore.

I love gifting, but I am not discouraged when the receiver doesn't give me a 'thank you'. I realize that when they first get out of that trade window they can be so excited that the first thing they do is open the 'stuff' or clothes window and start changing their clothes (or putting on the new pin, or going straight to their room to place that new piece of furniture, or whatever) and those screens take up a great deal of the VMK screen. I take it as a compliment when they immediately put on whatever I just gave them.

I will admit that in general I prefer gifting newer players (DIS and DISKids always have priority) but that is because those of us who have been around for a long time already have everything. While I give without expectation, I will admit that I am sad when I end up gifting just so someone can turn around and trade it for something else (or make another *star* magic pin arg!). I always try to give something that I think will make the receiver happy, not something that will just add to their riches...

But, I will say that while thank you's are always appreciated, sometimes the receiver is eccestatic and their screams of excitement just don't come through the computer. I prefer to give them the benefit of the doubt.


Funny that there were no screams in the game and immediately after my gifting her I got swarmed with gift requests.

I think I would have gotten some sense of excitment from her if she were truly greatful.

I will give the benefit of the doubt where it is deserved, in this case it was not.
 
i would have said thanks! :woohoo: i never give out free stuff anymore because it seems like no one appreciates anything! so i'm on the same boat as you guys with this one.
 
Allison Y2K,

I would love to trade you for one of your firework pins. I don't know if I have anything rare to trade. (Haven't been with vmk very long still learning game and not sure what is rare). My screen name is Mystic_Force if you want to trade. I'll show you what I have and you can take what you want. Please!!
You would get a million thank you's from me.
 
I get that a lot too, Mal. Give someone something and they fly away without a thank you.


I think it goes with the self-entitlement that so many feel these days. They expect to be handed things for free and many times they don't need to say thank you. They have been taught this by the adults around them. :sad2:

I still gift when the mood hits me. No matter who it is. :)



i normally do gift weekly, but i just wont give to my friends that beg constantly or that do not thank me
 

I did the same thing the other day. She claimed she wanted gold ears so bad and that she had been trying to get one for months. So I gave her a pair. And about 1 minutes later she was trying to trade them to someone else.

thats another thing. when you give someone a gift that will have sentimental value, they just go and trade it. others dont mind it, but its a pet peeve of mine..
