Default The ratio of Farm Cash to Coins seems unbalanced

It seems to me that buying Farm Cash vs. Coins bought are unreasonable rations.
Example: $4.99 gets 7500 coins or 25FC. but to expand my farm costs either 25 FC or 300,000,000 coins. What is it that I am not seeing?
I can expand my farm for $4.99 if I buy with Farm Cash, but if I bought my expansion with coins it would cost about $200.00 real money.

why would you spend real money on coins when you can obtain those by playing the game?

I see an 8x4 tree shaker in your data showing it is on your farm somewhere. Try hiding trees, flowers, buildings and decorations and search through all your farms. It should be there somewhere. If you still can't see it please post alink to your farm here so we can look for it.

Unhappy Why buy coins?

I was hoping for some rational explanation. Not another question.
I'll answer yours, if you answer mine.

I was very near amassing enough coins through harvests and facillities but was just a little short of what I needed. I had sold everything I could at the time. I wanted a few more coins to buy something at that time. So I was going to buy a few coins to complete the transaction. That is when I was astonished at the dollars vs coins exchange rate.
I guess the real answer is that slashkey is in business to make money and they would rather that I just buy all the facilities with dollars. I understand that and can see it in the way they control what you can and cannot buy with coins.
But my original question remains unanswered.
Could someone at least try?

Only the developers know the answer to your question and they are not going to say. My opinion would be that they do not expect you to buy coins for an expansion, but only for new players who don't plan well and run out of coins to buy seed.

They probably made it so that you could purchase coins also so that if someone wanted to purchase coins they could, but if you want an explanation of why they made the exchange rate the way they did you would have to contact Slashkey only they can tell you, people on the forum can only guess.

I think the coins for cash thing is just left over from the days before there was FC and they never removed it. Back in those days it took forever to build up coins and I wouldn't be surprised if players actually bought them.

At one time, you could be hired for cash.
And I can remember receiving 1 FC for every new neighbor.
Is either of these still operational?
