It has happened to me many times, to the point that I started writing down my money and points each time I went to a farm. But after a while I realized I was not really losing the points and money. What appeared to be happening was I was clicking on a plot, and getting the money for harvesting or the points for plowing, regardless of whether or not someone had beat me to the plot. When I left the farm, my money or xp's would read much higher than when I reloaded and they went down. I think they were just adjusted to what I actually earned at the other farm, not what was reflected on my screen when I left. I started counting my clicks as I was harvesting, and waiting on a farm until all harvesting was done. Some of the plots that I got paid for were actually not mine. Same on another farm with plowing. I think once the game catches up, it is adjusted correctly, at least in my case.

With the new changes, after today I will not hire or hire myself out. A lot of players are students or have jobs. A person can harvest a REAL farm in the amount of time it takes to harvest for someone. Everyone's time is important, and a game is supposed to be fun. Although I love the game, I do not have the time to spare. Most people would play for an hour or 2 and take care of their own farm(s) and then maybe take on a couple of jobs. The time to do that now has doubled, and that's without hiring out. I don't think many people have 4 or 5 hours to spare in order to do what you did in an hour. Developers need to take into consideration the time involved in order to play this game.

I registered just to say I HATE IT. I cant belive the time it took to even harvest and actually I left my plow job due to the time it is taking. please put it back!

Bingo bango to you - that is exactly true - I am hovering past level 60 with no where to go cause it worked so well, i never lose points or xp cause I wait on the farm for a few minutes until the on screen counters by the avatar quit running which is way before you are done zipping around the field patches. Then leave immediately and get to the next hired job you can get! Where are the new levels past 60?

and if you get hired to a farm with 10 ppl harvesting and it makes it slow, then you can always leave and go get another job!!! how often is it that you get hried to back-to back-to back-to back jobs with 10+ ppl on them??? most people do not hire that many people, so chances are you'll get a better job if you just leave and go find a new one.... simple fix. now get rid of this new "upgrade".
