Thousands of us are getting quests we cannot complete unless we spend real money, which, frankly, defeats the purpose for those of us who are cash hungry.
So yes, we don't have to play. But we want to. We certainly are not being forced to spend money to complete them. But cash is cash, and for those of us at the maximum level, with no chance to earn cash between upgrades, a few extra cash for quests is desirable, especially when we are only earning a maximum of 25 cash with a levels upgrade.
As most of the cash facilities cost 30 cash or more, I would love to earn 5-7 cash doing quests so that I can buy a new facility when we get those upgrades. That would certainly keep me interested in the game.
I do not own all of the facilities or tools, I still seed with a 3x3!, but am at level 310 and have spent more than $200 on the game to date. I am more interested in a way to earn cash than to buy any more of it at this point.
When the devs start kicking in 1 or 2 farm cash as rewards, we will see how fair the quest 'feature' actually is. I worry that the devs are shooting themselves in the foot if they think they won't lose loyal players by only rewarding cash to the players who have spent the most money on this game, the ones who own the tools and facilities to complete the majority of their quests.
I am hoping the devs will be fair about it, and reward players by effort and not financial contribution.

2 places where you are mistaken
#1 This is not,nor will it ever be a competitive game.The inclusion of farmcash into the mix as a reward cannot be competitive unless certain guidelines across the board were brought into play.See #2 for more ..A competition implies you would have a opponent(s) striving for a certain goal in which 1 would win and the others would not.This game is setup to offer payers and free players to play in a myriad of ways ,to play slow,fast,produce,decorate,or any combination that make the game enjoyable for you.The quest are setup in the exact same manner.You can choose to do them as fast as possible,or not at all,or anything in between the 2 extremes.There is no trophy for being firstest with the mostest.
#2 The quest are RANDOM.I do not know why people cannot grasp this.The program inside the game that generates your quest for the day HAS NO IDEA if you spent $5 or $500.It also does not care.The quest you,or anyone else receives is pure dumb-luck.Your coin reward for completing a quest in of course determined by time,which is the only non-random factor.The chance of receiving farmcash is the same for everyone on every single quest.The possibility exist that a free player with no fc facilities can receive 10 quest in a row involving only coin purchased factories,and could receive 1 fc for each of them,while his neighbor who spent $900,has everything,completes 10 quest and gets 0 fc.
Now,with the fact that if you took an average of quest from a large enough sample,it may in fact be that those with more factories are gaining more fc than those without.However,it would be due to the fact that they are able to,on average,complete more quest.Just like buying lottery tickets,the more you buy,the more CHANCES you have to win...The odds however remain the same for each one.
This is the fairest way to do this.A completely random quest has a completely random chance of giving 1 fc.
