Other tests
- Received return gift sent using FVE: PASSED
- Received lottery ticket from request accepted by FVE: 1/2
- Received briddle from request accepted by FVE: 2/2
- Received Paint buckets from request accepted by FVE: COULDN’T EVEN SEND ONE
Conclusion
- I wasn’t able to receive or send buckets of paint in any way. Maybe it’s because it’s still a relatively new event. I don’t know. The mass sending tool simply froze when I tried to send using it.
- Basically you can’t count on getting anything you ask for or get sent. Unless you send non-event stuff from the “Free gifts”. Including SDB’s. This includes when you accept the requests manually.
- The mass sending tool inside FV does work. At least when I use it.
- Some gifts aren’t returned like expected, but I’ve just tested it and it also happens when I do them manually. One more bug to the huge pile.
- FVE works perfectly 🙂 Anything else does not 🙁
