I agree that this game is far superior, I even mentioned that in my post. What I am saying is that the economy has made it so people like you can play with abandon, while those of us who are having a hard time economically are stuck. I know that you don't have to have everything that comes out, but they are putting out tasks that require you to have the new facilities, or HOPE you can find someone who will sell, trade or let you work for the product. This puts us already in the mode some were afraid of ... begging other players for help.
I do realize that this is a free game to play and that Slashkey has got to make sufficient income to pay their staff and make a profit for the company. I never put any real money into any of the other games, but I have paid REAL CASH to play this game because I believe in what they have done. I am just saying that it is getting ridiculous. Newer players get farm cash as fast as they want as long as they are willing to put out the effort. Where is the incentive for the players who have been around since there was one farm, no tools and very few crops? I remember days off spent planting raspberries, harvesting, plowing, selling them and replanting raspberries to get enough coins to pay for a farm size upgrade. I also remember the days when you could shop for insurance or get a trial to Netflix to get FarmCash. Now that those options are off the table you would think that some other options would be made available to earn farm cash. ... and I still hold that 10,000,000,000 for a 26x26 upgrade to a farm is ludicrous.
