Perhaps I am just more thoughtful and considerate than others.

The hiring problems are still happening. I've just ploughed two of my four 24x24 farms because the two people I hired managed to plow 4 and 0 fields respectively.

What angered me the most however, was a player I hired to harvest my purple grapes. She did half and then announced that it didn't pay enough, so it wasn't worth her while to do any more. She then "lol'd" and typed a smiley face (as if that makes it ok) and left. I went back to the MP and there she was asking for more work, so I told the MP that she wasn't available for low paying work and "ignored" her.

I think I'll just do my own harvesting and ploughing from now on, unless I see a "buddy" online at the same time. I've had enough of the idiots from the MP. Over the last two days, I have hired three people who blatantly ignored all my requests to hide the trees and carried on merrily harvesting around them. I accept that some players may not know about "hiding", but when a request is made of you, and you don't know what is being requested, ask the person what they mean. It's not difficult.
