First of all, let me say I've loved Farmtown,,,,up until this point. I have read many opinions and views of how this new way is "improved" and have tried to be understanding of everyone's views. I have always been a curteous harvester/plower, and watch the squares around me to try and not invade other peoples areas. But I have to say, the slowness of this new change is very frusterating. I can't even move 3 squares ahead of my avatar without getting those annoying, "Wait, I'm Busy" messages, then I have to constantly backtrack to get all the squares I missed due to the slowness. It takes twice as long to harvest/plow now. It's not worth it. If this is the only way to fix the hiring problems, i guess I'll have to deal with it. But is it worth it if it takes me a 1/2 hour to do 10 or 15 min worth of work now? I used to love how I could just pop into FT on a break, or duing lunch to get some work done, but now I can't afford the extra time. FarmVILLE is now faster than FarmTOWN and I find myself utilizing that application more now. Yes, it's a game, but people have the right to enjoy the fastness of the way it used to be and not be criticized. I'm not sure why one would want it to be slower? I've never run into people trying to cut in front of me while working a field, and if so, so what? There are many people waiting to hire workers. It's better than waiitng for my avatar to catch up and backtracking.
