I guess I look at buying things from Slashkey the same as I do at any store I shop at. I don't expect more than what I buy, and I am not disappointed that way. I don't expect to get anything for nothing.

Also, I don't consider myself to be the smartest person around, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know how the trains were meant to be used. Why are some who took advantage of a glitch now crying fowl? They should be saying "it was nice while it lasted, but now it's over" The rules were written for ALL of us, and we are all treated the same by Slashkey.

Don't want this to sound rude, but do you think it is fair to take money out of the Slashkey employee's paychecks that they get on payday? The FC that is purchased is how they get their paychecks. If you have all 12 boxcars connected to the 5 engines, that is the same as using 60 boxcars and only paying for 12 boxcars, so that means that you are getting after the price of the engines are taken out 1,510 FC or apx $240.00 worth of boxcars for free and if 1,000 people did what you did that would equal apx $240,000.00 that Slashkey couldn't use for payroll of course minus the money it takes to rent space on Facebook and the cut that Facebook get for each FC purchase.

What they should have done is after a player purchased all long cars and locomotives that make all long cars available for coins.
That way people would stop crying foul play.

I guess that would make to much sense.

If this is true, why wait for, what was it ten months? to resolve this glitch? Your answer doesn't give an answer... And does SK really think that those people having now five locomotives will buy all the box-cars? so they will get the income after all? Think again... Most people I have talked to think opposite: never to spent money again on FT and maybe find another game.
For me: yes, I will keep playing (I think), but no, after many years I will not spent any more money. As many other long time players I am starting to get fed up. No hard feelings, since I still love FT.

I just wish you good luck with the 'newbies'. Hope they will spent enough to keep the play going, since most old-timers seem to start to give up.

Do you all really think they would have let this go on for this length of time if they had known about it? Why wait all this time losing money?

Indeed, why did they wait this long? You asked the question...

Anyhow. I am leaving for a week. I probably will be bak, but playing on a lower level. I was completely hooked and yes, have bought almost all. I won't do that anymore, like many of my neigbours won't.
I still love the game, but for me and as I have seen and read from many 'old time' players we will be indeed more selective in what we buy. No need to buy all and use 'glitches', since you never know when things will be restored

The point I was making was that they did not know about the glitch until just recently and fixed it as quick as they could.

Ah, so they call it a beta game, have users to test it and find out about a glitch which gave them money and (in a way could have cost them: I think they earned, since without the glitch there would never be sold so many engines. But that is my thought) after TEN months...
They know about they layering glitch. Never saw a fix for that? I am sorry, I am not looking for a discussion, but your answer doesn't do for me. I let others decide for themselves

I will keep playing, but am glad for a week out of all. I won't be back as before. FT has lost a it of its charm for me. Pity that I have seen the same already before with some of other very long time neighbours...

New neigbours have beside a few disappeared quick I guess it is the way it is.

Have a lovely Christmas period anyhow!

I guess I am confused. I never got into the watering tools, as my funds are limited, and had to be picky about what I purchased. For some reason I purchased the brown sprinkler, but never used it. A friend heard me "crying" about my 4 hour crops going bad too often and she thoughtfully sent me a red sprinkler, which is not the one to extend my time either. So, I thought I might purchase the next sprinkler up and the message "Locked, need Mobile sprinkler" shows up on the orange, green and purple sprinklers, not one of them saying which Mobile Sprinkler is required to unlock. Since I own 2 of them, (one a gift), seems I should be able to purchase a higher one, or at least the orange one

Hi! you can try the following, if your brown and red sprinklers are in storage, take them off and place them on a farm, close the farm, reopen and from that farm go to the store to see if the orange one is unlocked.

Or, take them off from storage, place them on a farm, close the game, reopen, put them back to storage and check if the orange one is unlocked.

You can read information about the sprinklers in the following thread from the Game Guide.
