New Release -- December 22nd, 2009 - UPDATE

NOOOO. The new way is better. It keeps the gang harvesters at bay. Please consider leaving the update in place.

Thank you so much for going back to the old way, I find harvesting and plowing slower than before. Also, limiting the number you can hire would be a good idea. I dislike it when people hire like 6 plowers when they only need 2 for the job. It's not worth my time to stay and plow, so I leave when there are too many.

I'm very disappointed that you all are chickening out and going back. I think it would be great if people actually gave it a chance. I LOVED that it stopped the people who click all over randomly. However, I think putting a limit on hiring is a great compromise. I think you should be able to hire 2 for each task tho because people with really big fields actually do have enough for more than one person to do.

My 2 cents:

I liked the update. The way FT was before only faster. It took skill and made the game more challenging and fun and not so monotonous as just clicking on squares and then waiting for them to be done.

Also, I know that the update wasn't for this but, it keeps the ones who like to ruin the experience and play the "mine mine mine" game at bay. With the update I was able to see who was being hog or just plain mean and stepping in front of everyone. This enabled me to be able to hire to plow accordingly.

I say that if the developers put in place that you can only hire one person then so be it. They have to fix the problem one way or another. And although some people (I won't speak for everyone because I CAN'T speak for everyone) didn't like the harvest/plow way that was implemented last night, I think it would be a lot better than only being able to hire one person to do each task. That's going to take even longer for those in a rush to do something else.

I think that some people need to learn how to compromise. Everything can't go your way all of the time. I'm an only child and I went through my phase of learning this. So, please, cut the devs some slack and at least try something out for a few days before you come and just tear them down about it. They are making this FREE game for us. If we were paying them to play the game, then I'd understand the big uproar. Even stating that you don't like the update in a civil manner would be better than the "I HATEEEEEEE ITTTTT. CHANGEEEEE IT B4KKKKK!" that I've seen.
