. . . more newbies would get out into the world, explore and learn/play the game instead of begging for things more experienced players have had to work for. I don't mind gifting people and I very much enjoy visiting my visitors' streets and harvesting their resources -- wish more would harvest mine -- because it gives both of us iMG and nice surprise "drops," but it's kind of frustrating to visit the street of someone who is level 10 or 12 or even 14 and they have nothing to harvest because they spend all their time trying to cajole SDBs and faded hearts out of folks on the trade channel. Go learn some skills! Look for some ghosts! Ur is *full* of interesting things to learn and do.
