I don't know if like this new version. It makes it so people are now required to buy something really
expensive to use the 4x plow when all it took before was getting to another level. It was (it seemed)
the game developers response to a wish that farmers had for plowing faster when doing their own
farms. And that was really nice of them. Now we don't get to. That doesn't seem very nice at all.
we have no options though. Also now there is no motivation to use workers because you get no extra
money for hiring them. I think this is counter intuitive to the aspect of a social aspect to playing FarmTown. In effect it causes isolation of farmers from being social because they have no benefit for
doing so. It is complicated now and cold in that using neighbors or buddies has no value except to
give you more fuel for your big expensive toys. Thus reducing hiring friends and neighbors to no social value as an intrinsic part of playing Farm Town. This is a huge part of why I play. This is now
an entirely new game and I am sad and don't like it. Anybody listening out there?
