I think you missed my point. I have no problem with people hiring as many as they want on their farm. My gripe is with the people who blame me (someone who has purchased the tools) for the fact that they didn't get "their fair share" of the harvest. Sorry, not my fault.

Above is my original post on people working solo. If you will read the post I quoted and my response to that post, not to every post that is in this thread but to the post I quoted, you will see it has noting to do with people getting upset at others for using tools. It has to do with people thinking they have a right to work solo and coming up with reason after reason why they should get to work solo and my opinion on that opinion. This thread is about more then one topic I know that some have been talking about people using tools with others that don't have them but then The2Ksgrammy comes alone and in her words "There's a very logical solution to this problem. Farmers need to stop hiring more than one person at a time" and there it is someone coming in and telling everyone that they should only hire one person and here is the latest reason why. There are some very greedy people that play the game (I am not saying that The2Ksgrammy is one of them) and will use any reason they can think of for why they should get to work solo. Those are the people I am talking to in my original post not the people that are saying people shouldn't get mad because someone has the tools. |

I have gotten to the point, since I have all the tools, I can do my farms faster myself, by the time I go to the market, find someone to work for me, I could have had the farm harvested and plowed...If I do go to the market, I ask for a solo worker that has tools, so I know they can get the job done fast....And I do enjoy once in a while, working for other farmers, if I am waiting for a crop to ripen....I will do any type of work....

Oh my!. I have the tools. When I harvest on someone else's farm - with someone who hasn't - I tell the other player that I'm only doing half, then I leave when I've done it. No one's got angry - at least to my face. If it's someone else with a 4x4 - all bets are off.
The point is, I can't always afford the cash, so I spend what I do have very carefully. If people stopped buying farm cash, the game wouldn't be as good as it is. It's the cash purchases that fund the development of the game. If you don't invest in the game - fair enough - I didn't until recently, but stop moaning at those of us that do invest, and enjoy the benefits the cash brings to the game. |

I just got an invitation to work facilities and harvest - in my gift list! How does that work?

ARGHHHHH why are people so mental? I just got an angry PM from a farmer because I hired them to harvest and didn't also hire them to plow. I was sent this message:
"Please don't hire me again. I think it is rude to have people harvest and then not aske them to plow!!" What the hell? She didn't mind doing the work, I hired her, and then hired a plower moments later. Did she leave my farm when the plower showed up? No! She was more than willing to hang around and harvest the 900 some plots of fertilized rhubarb (!) while the other person followed and plowed. If not getting hired to do both things bothers her so much, she should have left without doing the harvesting. And why would it be my responsibility to remember her from the thousands of other users as someone I can't hire? Garrr. I told her I was under no obligation to hire her for both things, and that I never offered both things, and that she never made a comment suggesting she wanted both things before accepting my harvest request. And this was the reply I was sent: "I am one of the very FEW that do not beg for a job in the marketplace and I do gladly except any job offered however I find it very rude that the person DOES NOT come back to their farm to "THANK YOU" for working for them. I ALWAYS thank them for the job as soon as I get there just in case I get booted. I also think that common courtesy is to ask the person that did all the hard work harvesting for the non thankful employer if they would like to plow. Sorry for the grief just thought I should ask not to be hired again by you! Have a great night " What an ingrate! So, I can't hire people in the marketplace and then log off to live my life? Instead I have to go back to my farm, thank them for being willing to lower themselves enough to accept the terrible imposition of my hire request, and then hang around so I can hire them to plow and, presumably, also kiss their butt for being so kind to once again work for me? I like "thank yous" and "your welcomes"...when I am on my farm or when I am sent a PM. But this is madness. Also, usually, people thank me for hiring them, and I thank people who hire me, not the other way around. Hey "thanks for the job" kind of thing. Sorry for the rant, but my mind melted a little after those messages. |

I normally don't go to the marketplace, but decided to try to get some extra crops today since I can't grow enough to fill everything all the time. I have never been SO irritated. 3 of the farms I was hired at had tiered crops which are just totally difficult to work at. WHY on earth don't you just make it so we can create enough crops without doing stuff like this (or layering). I've played this game for so long and have really enjoyed it, but the things that people are doing now are making the game no fun anymore. If you would just let us grow things quicker and in larger quantities, people wouldn't be looking for ways to cheat the system. Quit the gift business - it's become a huge time issue in the game - just let us grow crops and grow enough of them within a reasonable timeframe. At a bare minimum, if we are going to take the trouble to try to get hired, give us more for our efforts. Ok, I've said my peace.
