There are many people with slow connections and they're left out in the cold because of people with very fast connections. By limiting the number of workers it will equal the playing field in a more fair way, yet not slow down someone who may have a fast connection.

Another valid reason for limiting the number of workers that can be hired on a farm is this: I have been hire to work on numerous farms and have found sometimes 6 and 8 other workers there when I arrive. Some of these farms are the smallest a player can actually have in the game. I've yet to understand why 8 workers would be needed on the smallest farm in the game. But, for some reason, there are farmers who feel the need to hire that many workers at one time. That, to me, is a lack of consideration for other only to satisfy one's own lack of patience to wait an extra few minutes for one or two workers to complete the tasks at hand.

Just the thoughts of a Level 60 player here. But, I'll support the developers...no matter what they decide.
I agree with Scott, I too, have had people thank me over and over for allowing them the whole farm to do..

One Idea may be to limit the number of people you can hire by the level you are at, then put a cap on the number once you reached higher levelsl. Like everything else is... As Scott describes, why hire 8-9 people on the smallest farm...

I believe that people hiring more than one feel that they are going to make more $$$ but the truth is it cost you more. I do understand that we have the option to leave as I do many times. But then you have people who just like to watch the avatar's bumping into each other like a pin ball game....
Like everything else in society you can't control courtesy and being considerate.
I am glad that you are reverting back to the old version, will just have to wait till all the plots are done before leaving the game....Thanks for listening to us..You've done a great job.
