You make a very good point, Scott. Playing FT is a luxury like buying a CD, going out to lunch or to a baseball game. It's not something one has to do and players can choose to spend as little or as much spare time on the game as they wish and can have lots of fun designing virtual farm layouts without spending real $$ if they prefer to go that way or truly cannot afford to spend $$ on entertainment. Or budget a certain amount to allocate once a month or once every few months as I do for entertainment and spend that on FT.

It's a game and not a necessity, so the way to solve the "it costs too much" thing is either not to play or to use those items that are free.

As one (me), who has purchased more than $100 (US dollars) in Farm Cash, stop your whining, please! It takes a lot of time, resources, and money to develop games like Farm Town. Either cough up a little real cash to further enhance your enjoyment of the game, or let this plea go. It's getting annoying seeing all the posts from people who say, "I'm on a fixed income", "I can't afford it", "I have no money", and now your "freedom of choice" argument. I challenge you to go into any store in your city and attempt to get the same great deal that Farm Town offers. When you compare all the items that are available in the game, there are really very few that are available with Farm Cash only. The vast majority of items are obtainable with coins.

Finally, I find it very interesting that, those who can't afford a little Farm Cash, are the same people who manage to pay for internet access every month, and also manage to purchase a computer to access the internet.
