We used to have alternative ways to earn Farm Cash, now we have to purchase Facebook credits and use them to purchase Farm Cash. For those of us who have been hit hard by the economy the continual introduction of new factories, restaurants and service buildings is just getting ludicrous. This is in comparison to other games with increasing levels.
For those of us who have reached and exceeded (by millions of XP) the level we are at we are stuck getting 25 lousy Farm Cash every 2 months or so. This enables us to purchase about 2 new facilities every four months. This was extremely distressing when the "Task" I opened last night required production from the new Japanese Restaurant which I purchased with the precious FC that I had stored up. The ones I now am missing will take $40.00 REAL DOLLARS to purchase, so they WON'T be included and future tasks will have to be ignored.
Other gaming companies reward those who have played and achieved high XP by giving them levels. I can pick up 2 to 3 additional Rewards Points PER DAY by playing the hated rival zynga's games with much less effort. I can get about 1/4 Farm Cash per day which I only see after I have waited for them to give me 25 lousy points in another 6 weeks. That will mean I will have to wait for approximately 14 weeks before I can purchase anything else with Farm Cash.
I worked my farm daily and logged on many times to update and collect. Now, I maybe get on once a day and most of the work on my farm is done by someone else. PERHAPS this is why zynga (with all its problems and the constant spamming of the walls) is sitting with over a million players while Farm Town, a decidedly superior game is losing players and sitting with fewer than 200,000 daily players.

First off..this game cost $0.00 to play and advance in.Just because they release a new factory or tool does not mean you have to buy it.Second,you do understand this is a business,they are here to make money,not just provide people with a sim farm.Third,comparing numbers from 1 game to the next is silly.The entire concept between the other farm game and this one is miles apart.If slashkey decided to just spam out pretty pixels twice a week and spamfest our walls with the **** Z does,I would bet this game would gain a few million players.I would like to think the difference is this game is not a pacifier that offers shiny new pixels to appease the "ooh ooh got ta have it" crowd.This game actually makes players use more than 2 brain cells.
