It has happened to me many times, to the point that I started writing down my money and points each time I went to a farm. But after a while I realized I was not really losing the points and money. What appeared to be happening was I was clicking on a plot, and getting the money for harvesting or the points for plowing, regardless of whether or not someone had beat me to the plot. When I left the farm, my money or xp's would read much higher than when I reloaded and they went down. I think they were just adjusted to what I actually earned at the other farm, not what was reflected on my screen when I left. I started counting my clicks as I was harvesting, and waiting on a farm until all harvesting was done. Some of the plots that I got paid for were actually not mine. Same on another farm with plowing. I think once the game catches up, it is adjusted correctly, at least in my case.

With the new changes, after today I will not hire or hire myself out. A lot of players are students or have jobs. A person can harvest a REAL farm in the amount of time it takes to harvest for someone. Everyone's time is important, and a game is supposed to be fun. Although I love the game, I do not have the time to spare. Most people would play for an hour or 2 and take care of their own farm(s) and then maybe take on a couple of jobs. The time to do that now has doubled, and that's without hiring out. I don't think many people have 4 or 5 hours to spare in order to do what you did in an hour. Developers need to take into consideration the time involved in order to play this game.
