I send out probably hundreds of life request each night, I'm lucky if I get back 2. In the past 3 nights I sent my entire list which is WAY too many friends to count for lives and I've only gotten 5 back. Anyone else encountering this? I get friend request and accept them, but I never get lives back from them.

Unfortunately @Steven_Stambaugh44 your complaint is a common one, and to be honest I have no idea what is going on. I always seem to receive enough lives to keep my 200 life limit at the maximum. I very rarely ask for lives because of this.
Instead of just sending lives and expecting them back you now are better off asking for lives. Due to a fairly recent change to the game it has become harder/slower for people to send lives to their friends (as you know after going through your list to send lives). Some people haven't liked the change, so have stopped sending lives unless they can quickly respond to a request.
Check the Player Card of your friends as well Steven and you might be surprised by how many of your friends aren't actively playing. Unfriend anyone that hasn't played in over three months and anyone that has played over 70 levels in a week without sending lives. Clicking on Player Cards of people on my map I am surprised by how many are indicated as not sending any lives.
If you have 200 lives stored you will not receive any more lives even if you request them.

My Card has always been correct @cookiemae so I am happy to take everyone else's at face value. I know there are issues caused by people changing their clocks to gain lives, so it follows that there may be more issues as well. If I request a life from someone and I don't receive one and their Card says they haven't sent any lives in a week I am happy to say that the information is accurate in that regard.

That's what I'm doing once I run out of the 5 daily lives I ask for lives, click check all, again there's easily gotta be well over 100 friends on my list probably more. I did that 3 times last night and tonight when I go to my lives how many did I get (3) that's it. I'm down to only 16 lives TOTAL. Something is not right.

Thanks for the info @Steven_Stambaugh44. That does indeed sound like you have a problem and as I said in my first post I don't really know what is going on. I have seen a lot of posts on here that say the same thing as you and I know that traditionally there has been a lot of complaints about the way King handles free lives. In fact there is a long-standing Class Action against King that accused them of deliberately removing 'donated' lives

I just noticed I misread your post and see that you are asking for lives on a regular basis and not responding to life requests as I thought you meant. One thing to bear in mind is that if you regularly and continuously send out life requests this can have the opposite effect of what you want. People quite often complain on here about receiving too many life requests from some of their friends and invariably their response is to stop sending that person lives.
It is difficult for me Steven based on just my game and posts on here to determine if there actually is a life problem. My game would suggest not, but I see an awful lot of posts that make me think otherwise as well.
Did you check the Player Cards of your friends as I suggested. 100 friends isn't actually that many especially if you find that a lot of them have stopped playing
