Weeelll, ok I may have been a little hasty in my venting. I have been working with the new format and I think they might actually be getting closer to what we need! The problem I see with the new format is: why can't your avatar just teleport to the next sqare...period. As far as the complaints about avatars bumping into one another...my solution is, has been, and always will be: don't hire 10 people to do a job that two or three can do in a timely manner. When I get invited to a farm and there are a bunch of other people there fighting over squares, I LEAVE! No bumping for me...this game is supposed to be a relaxing pasttime...highly addictive as it is...I don't hire more than two people to harvest and plow my fields. I am a level 48 and have two fields...I have never had people bumping into each other on my farm! Summary, the new format needs, in my opinion, tweeked, but you are on the right track...complainers, like myself, are just resisting to change. People are getting frustrated but it is just a game...I keep telling myself that anyway...
