There are people who put offline when they are there. I have one of them in my list. I simply wait he gives me something to show he is there. Because there is also people saying "not playing" in their names, yet they share free gifts.

It's up to people offline to show they are present in the same time than you with gifts. Put offline is the decision to risk not free gift by people to the other side of the world - except maybe weekends. But better than nothing at all.

I play the night, sometimes during the day (at least I check if I can my profil). I stop after midnight. I always put I'm offline now because there is a lot of givers when I'm not available. Once I tried to connect at 7AM. The 50 gifts where full. Conclusion: several friends were considered like non givers by G5 because they didn't move in the friend list like the gift list was complete.

Alas many don't care the Offline word. Don't care in chat too. And between them I know several are from the same hours to play than me, from same continent. So it's just silly to give when I'm offline.

So when we put offline we take the risk to have less active friends, less gifts, but at least it's less lost time also for friends.

Why do you think when gamers reach 1000 friends in totem they remove so many 'friends'? It's partially because there are friends giving in the bad hours, but not when they are online (in the news feed they are asking for things). They seem not so friendly, no matter it's true or false; you know you give to them but it's like if they don't send back the 'visit'. I bet when we remove friends who trully give they are frustrated, but it's like that.
