Replying to Keeta,
Your comment is a reflection of exactly how I am feeling at the moment. If I find myself on a farm, harvesting with someone with tools, I usually make a comment to the person who has hired me along the lines of, it is a waste of my time and effort even trying to compete with someone using a tool and then leave the farm. I try to only hire people ,for work on my farm,who do not have tools.
A lot of common courtesy, not a little is needed. I don't have any problem with people choosing to spend their money on the tools. If that is how they wish to progress in the game, fair enough, BUT, please don't forget your manners.
Many thanks.
