Gifts Frequency

Some of you might wonder, why I do not send and/or receive gifts everyday. The reason is this: Best Friend Grinding. To get to Best Friend the fastest way possible, is to maximise the interactions in between friends. Raid together = one interaction. Attack gym together = another interaction. Sending gifts? No. It requires the receiver to open the gift. Only then, will it be counted as one interaction.

Then we have the Best Friend counter. Everyday, for every interaction, the counter goes up by one. However, subsequent interaction have no effect on the counter. You can have 1 interaction for 90 days versus 90 interactions in 1 day. The difference between the two parties here is the former are best friends at the end of the 90 days while the latter are fools at the end of their day.

By farming the interactions and taking note of all these mechanics and limitations, I come to realise that there is no need for me to have both parties to send and receive gifts on the same day. That being said, can have person A opening B's gift and sending a gift in return for B to do the same the next day.
