FT truly is excellent and hats off to the developers.
Any difficulties I have experienced in leveling up and thus the pace of progress in the game, have simply been a result of not many of my FB friends being active in FT and thus having a hard time qualifying for some things, such as now, hiring other players to plow at my farm. But that is not a fault of the game.
Getting 30 FT friends when I meet the other requirements to purchase Farm 3 probably isn't going to happen (that is close to my total number of FB friends since I mostly invite people I actually know), but I appreciate that the developers provide another option, Farm Cash.
So any suggestions about features that I've posted are that, suggestions, not criticisms. Well, except perhaps that blue-blue-blue water.
