I see the belt colors by each seed in the store...but that's the only thing I've seen different...what am I missing here?

so,

once you get a black belt for a seed.... that's it?...a black 7 inside a belt. If you continue to plant that seed, will those who harvest get the "big" bonus or just the % chance of getting a bonus of some sort?

I can see a few, perhaps very few, who will now plant everything so that they can get a "trophy" or something for the most black belts.

Hmmmm ,.. I have 3 black belts hanging in the closet, but I really only need one of them to keep my pants up.

Maybe the devs will offer another avatar outfit with colored belts... but you can only buy one if you have so many crops which earned that color.

haha

Farmtown is a great game but the latest belt upgrade has made the game the same as Farmville.

Many people left Farmville because of the constant need to ask neighbours to click on posts for something the need to complete a project. Click on this and click on that for something in return.

Farmtown Belt system is heading the same way as Farmville.

I've quit many games or blocked many posts because my wall became an advertisement for a gaming company.

MY WALL is so I and my friends can communicate between each other.. NOT for me to search through all the unwanted posts for any missed posts from my friends and relatives ,,

I have over 30 active Farmtown players... and over 80 neighbours - just think how much junk will be posted to my wall now....

30 notification to work at their utitlies
30 notifications to get clients
30 x 3 notifications to send iingredients
at least 30 notification that someone got a belt..
and that only from my neighbours how much more will I get from their friends and other unknown players.

This is Farmtown DEV FIRST biggest mistake... ALL you done is ANNOYED you Loyal players

I like the belt system but HATE the notification system - Adjust it to so only appear in Game Request Area Only and NOT on my wall

I for one will be hitting the skip button each time.

Reward us for achieving and let us post the achievement.

This is true, and as testers it is our right and dare I even say responsibility to let the developers know what works and doesn't work for us. Someone said "threatening to quit is childish". I don't see it as a threat to say that if something this disruptive remains I may have to leave the game. It's different for everyone, but if we don't give feedback, how will they know? I don't see being mean-spirited, but I think vocal is ok Many of us spend actual money on the game, so, ya, it behooves them to listen to us.
