So as we all know, the Giving Tree replenishes every 15 minutes with 25 items and everyone is given a chance to claim one item each rotation. This would be great if there were like... 50 people online at a time. But we are constantly 300-1000+ players at any given time. So the tree is full for a full 30 seconds at peak hours, maybe a minute during player lulls. 1. Increase the number of items loaded during each replenish. This gives more people a chance to at least get SOMETHING. 2. Instead of allowing everyone to get one item each restock, make it so individuals can only get 1 item every 30 minutes or an hour. That way people are less likely to just grab anything because it's free, giving those with slower internet a chance to at least feel like they can benefit from this feature as well. And if left over items are a worry, then just have whatever is left over at the end of the hour purge, because obviously nobody wanted them anyways :P That way you don't end up with 1000 pet rocks in there further down the road. |

I agree with the timeframe. Versus every offering, a time lockout (heck, even a one freebie per day) would give more folks an opportunity. Especially those with slower internet speeds.  0 players like this post! Like? |

I would also like it if there was a timer that was counting down until it would be restocked. It would be nice to know when to come back and check again. :) 0 players like this post! Like? |

I'd like it if people could only get one or two free items a day, really, but once every hour would be good too, I guess. Perhaps also random refresh times; right now, everyone knows exactly when to be around to catch a refresh. If it refreshed randomly throughout the day - guaranteed once every hour - then you'd likely not have everyone there for the refresh at once, giving people more of an opportunity to grab something. 0 players like this post!

[I actually like Pet Rocks since I'm a lazy butt with playing with my females xD] Support from me! I have only gotten an item TWICE, and that's because I literally waited a full minute for it to come around. 0 players like this post! Like? |

I've actually never gotten an item from The Giving Tree and I over and over again refreshed the page for more than 15 minutes, it's insane. So full support from me!! 0 players like this post! Like? |

I dunno, I like getting something free once every fifteen minutes, or even every hour. But more then that would seem troublesome. Especially when there are a lot of carcasses and stuff that aren't worth as much as well. I mean, if it was all slightly important stuff like backgrounds or scars or whatever, I would agree with every hour. But for now it's a pure chance/luck thing. SO I'm fine with the shorter timeframes and lack of limit. But there should indeed be more of an item at a time. 0 players like this post! Like? |

I agree with this and I'm glad to see it's been changed to an hour, but I think the problem is that everybody is grabbing things without discarding them. As an experiment I discarded a Rhino carcass earlier today, and 10 minutes later it showed up on the Tree at 30 mins past. There was nothing else in there. So I think the system needs to be changed so that discarded items show up as they are being added (refreshing every 5 mins say), and you can only grab one item an hour. At the moment too many people are thinking they are missing the items, when in fact there aren't any items going in. 0 players like this post! Like? |

it would be good if items were 'shuffled' too so if someone tossed a stack of drowned logs they tree isn't flooded with drowned logs, no pun intended. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Support. I, like Starblazer, haven't seen anything in the tree which sort of defeats the purpose, as I know we aren't the only two. ;u ; 0 players like this post! Like? |

Just yesterday, I visited the tree and saw about 10-15 piles of SB. I grabbed one and left the tree. When I came back about 30 seconds later, everything was gone. In short, I support. 0 players like this post! Like? |

This isn't how the tree works anymore... Items/Currency have to be donated by users. They are not generated by the game anymore. 2 players like this post! Like?Edited on 01/07/24 @ 10:34:07 by Tharkenta (#160101) |
