Really Frustrated with Request System
I have less than 20 active neighbors, and I continually have problems getting my material requests fulfilled. Yesterday, I needed two more parts to finish building an oven, and the rest of the requests were the nine needed to start the new goals, so I asked Stormie and one active neighbor who I know to be active. The entire day went by, that neighbor even visited me, but only Stormie fulfilled that material request. I only got four of the nine requests fufilled for starting the new goal, so I was stuck all day (I definitely have enough active neighbors that I should have gotten nine back). Many times, I get material requests days after my neighbors have sent them. Sometimes, the request system will uncheck a few of the neighbors near the top of the list before I send the requests off and tell me that I‘ve already requested help from these neighbors today. I don’t have enough neighbors to have a back-log of old requests — I only have 22 neighbors total. Also, why does Stormie take so long to respond?
The only possible explanation I can think of is that somehow my gifts are being counted toward my maximum requests as I seem to routinely get gifted more parts than get requests answered. As for Stormie taking two hours to respond when an automated process should take seconds, maybe Stormie is a Turkish Machine.
