Thank you for the new tools; however, I really, really want more land. Also, I would love to have weeping willow trees on my farm.

Maybe developers could count up how many people say the same thing about why bother. I have been
reading and it is a significant amount. They are not complaining they are being logical. My problem
is the incentive to be social is significantly reduced. Now those who can buy will just be farming all
alone on their big farms. Why is that fun? P. S. I have not ever complained before. I just loved game
and used option on forum to make suggestions for fun stuff. I don't necessarily want to go faster. Makes us lazy. Why go faster. takes away from fun just doing harvesting and plowing with friends. These are just toys. But having to use them to do the things we could
do before is just kind of like when you don't have the choice to use a different cable company when in certain areas . I don't like having choice taken away and made to do
something I don't want to do. Believe me if I was new and wanted to learn how to play
this game I just might not want to play. I like things simple.

this game I just might not want to play. I like things simple. I totally have enough money to buy these. That is not the problem. So this upgrade is nice for those with small farms and less neighbors. It is only fun for those who like big new toys (which is not wrong) but not fun for those who farm for a different reason. It does not make much sense for those who are on higher levels. And it reduces the incentives for the fun social aspect of game.
how many of those statements are negative vs positive. Count them.

I have a brilliant question ... "WHY would you harvest yourself?" WHAT'S the purpose IF you can go to the marketplace and hire somebody else and make considerably MORE coins?

Anybody who harvests themselves is a brain dead hamster....

You would harvest yourself for the simple reason that if you hire from the market you take the risk that some brain dead hamster will harvest your trees even after you ask them multiple times to NOT harvest your trees. I am also going to start harvesting myself if none of my friends are online because i have had all my trees harvested twice now on purpose.

Some people don't want their trees harvested, its part of their farm decoration.

Since there is no option to fire people, or protect/hide your trees the harvester is a great option. I would rather make a few less coins harvesting myself than take the chance on some idiot getting their jollies off by harvesting my trees.

I would respect your wishes to protect your trees however for the life of me I can't understand why you wouldn't harvest them. There is a lot of free money in those trees and the produce new crops in a few days.

I have large groves of trees and enjoy 8000 to 10000 coins every 3 to 4 days. No investment (trees were gifts), only pure profit. I agree that they are pretty, but they are money in the bank.

Brain Dead Hamster here:

In the past couple of days, I have had time to do the "raspberry dash." I've been planting raspberries every two hours to gain XPs. I don't always have neighbors or buddies around to harvest/plow at the time the berries are ready. I have 6 mil.+ so coins are not a problem. If I go to the MP to hire someone to H/P, it's a **** shoot as to what I'll get. It defeats the purpose of the "dash" if I have to spent a half hour with the MP and the farmer or farmers that I have convinced to harvest raspberries. They harvest a few (maybe) then split. They don't want to risk missing out on a job harvesting PINEAPPLES. So then I'm back in the MP ...

Normally neighbors like to harvest my farm and I like having them there to chat. I like hiring my buddies because I've met lots of great folks from all over the world and enjoy our chats as well.

I bought the big harvester and the big planter because ... they look good and it helps me with my "raspberry dash."

Just wish they got better gas mileage. :-)

I have to agree...unfortunately I bought the equipment before I understood how they work...so now they are just lawn ornaments! :-(
I was hoping we could use them on other farms.... seems like that'd be a fair advantage over the other pickers since we spent such big bucks for them.
