I think those that put in their time deserve the gifts, I can just imagine the patience and frustration they went through....why shouldn't they get the gifts. I'm new to this game, and I didn't do anything to make it what it is, do I deserve a gift, my opinion would be no. In the end, everyone gets something special, that another doesn't get, I'm happy that I found a game I am enjoying. I would think there weren't that many gifts given to make a big impact that now everyone is better than me.
