I love giving wishlist gifts on the Luminaire boards, I really do. What I hate, though, is when someone's wishlist only contains custom wearables, cash shop items and things over 10 million sps. Really? Okay, subeautique invite for you. I will happily give friends a 10 million sp gift, but not a random stranger on a board.

Does that irritate anyone else or is it just me?

I have a,ot of expensive stuff on mine - but more as a reminder to myself since I need goals laughs

plus... right before luminaire I put some cheap things on (specially pets TCs)

but yeah sometimes it feels weird if there are only those items on

- Oh, I do that, too. Lots of reminders of stuff to get for myself.

I don't think there's anything wrong with you giving out SBQ invitations if you're not ready/don't have the sP to spend. It's nice to gift WL items (especially to be on the receiving end) but it all depends on your own choice. At least you're being nice and gifting something rather valuable than giving out simple RS items or skipping the user altogether.

I'm kinda in the same boat sometimes? And yeah, running into someone posting on those threads with nothing but ultra-expensive wishlists is kind of suspect to me.

Generally speaking, if I can't afford anything from someone's wishlist, or I'm too lazy to go through 30+ max sized wl categories, I give things like SBQ invites, tokens and 100CSC cards. Stat boosters, mage amulets and Magical Keepsake Boxes also make good gifts.

It's kind of like giving someone a giftcard/money if you don't know what to buy them for Christmas. Sure, it's not what they wanted, but it's still a useful gift to them, even if they turn around and sell it.

And if someone bawls about it - the block list is there for a reason. :] 'Tis the season of giving, not the season of sell-your-kidney-to-buy-someone-a-CW-they'll-only-use-twice.

It can be irritating because then I don't always know what to get them that they'd like. I usually do the same as you and and give SBQ invites, stat boosters, or MKBs.

- Yes...but I feel bad when I claim someone on a wishlist gifting thread and then can't find anything on their wishlist for under 10 mil.

- I hadn't considered MKBs. That's a really good option.

Oh I hate it. I went through someone's WL and it made me nuts. I finally found something decently cheap for that particular thread's requirements on a random category of theirs.

I will easily admit, my Lumi-specific list is borderlining 6mil but there's a broad enough selection (and zero CWs on it lol) that it shouldn't be an issue. I go through and weed out over-the-top stuff, but I am a big spender on other people personally. Plus there's a literal under 1mil category, just in case :P

Yeah that bugs me too, but it might be because I've divided my WLs by price for years and I also always put common things that catch my eye that I can instantly afford but that I'm not in a rush to buy. It used to be harder to sort them back when there wasn't sort by price, I think, but I just re-sorted them all a few days ago. Tedious but worth it. So I have a handy guide for people to buy me something reasonable but not dirt cheap, something cheap, a bunch of things that are cheap even! (I don't even consider the expensive things! XD)

But people here have made good suggestions for what to get when you can't afford anything on someone's list and I'm glad because I've been fretting about it!

Yes it does, especially when they're participating in "Gift the user above a wl item" and you go to gift them and all their items are CW or like 20 mill.I usually use my wishlist as a shopping list as a reminder, if I see something accidentally that I like, I wanna remember what it is.xD

I tried to have cheap stuff on my list when I still used the forum, but I got junk back anyways, so at this point I don't use the forum much at all. Now if I gift at all it's mostly to people I know and people who have empty trees. There are supposed to be threads specifically for gifts of any price and ones for more expensive gifts, but it does peeve me when people ignore the thread rules, especially considering I've seen a number of people who are breaking the thread rules are also just spam posting across all the gifting boards so they can get gifted, but never gift anyone back. D:

This has happened to me a few times while posting in wishlist gifting threads! It's really quite frustrating, because it feels like they're forcing the person who posts below them to get them an uber-expensive gift, while they're able to buy something cheaper for the person above them. But what they probably don't realize is that, if they do have a couple of cheaper items, that just means they're going to get a lot of repeats of those items under their tree since most people can't afford the rest of the stuff on their WL. I wish people would make sure they had reasonably priced items on their wishlists before posting on those threads!

Yes, I can not stand this especially when you have been gifted by them and they literally only spent like 100k on you but everything in their own WL is in the millions. It is like they are just taking advantage of the WL boards.

Completely agree with this, I actually think it is extremely rude and it is taking advantage. I haven't had this happen to me yet on the gifting boards luckily, but the SBQ invite is a good idea. If it does happen to me I'd have a mind to leave them a comment, lol.

Oh yes, this bothers me as well. If I go onto a board with a minimum cost (300k, 500k, 1mil) then I expect I'm going to spend some SP and I have no problem doing that. It's when it's the general WL boards that it really bothers me. Because you could be claimed by someone who is relatively new and doesn't have a lot to spend and then what do they do? (though the SBQ invite is a great idea!) To be honest, if I get someone (and this is most people) that has a good selection of WL items, I tend to splurge a bit and buy 4-6 things for them. If I get a list of all expensive things, I do not feel as generous.

If you want expensive things, that's cool, I have absolutely no problem with people's WL being lots of high-priced things. But stick to the high-price boards and be willing to spend what you are looking to get.

When in doubt, wiz tokens forever!

The other day I claimed someone on one of the higher sp "give a wl item" boards and their wl was small...maybe 40 or so items. Just about EVERYTHING had the little golden star next to it. I don't mind spending a lot, this is when I clear out my sp to start over for the new year but sheesh at least give some sp options. Especially when you post on multiple boards, you're bound to get the same few gifts since nobody is going to want to give you a cw.

That's why I prefer not to post on those threads, as most of my WL is more for my reference than anything else. I don't want anyone to feel obligated to get me a CW!

I feel very sorry for people hoping to gift me something, since I don't have a wishlist

D:

SORRY PEOPLE

It really is irritating, sometimes. I enter Lumi wishlist giving threads with an SP level, and if I find a list with no gifts that suit the SP, I get ahold of the person in question. Most are apologetic and offer other ideas that work.

yeah that kind of sucks thats why i always have small donations on my wishlist where if you cant afford let people go to that part of the list ;)
