Final verdict after trialing out the 'bonus' crops update.
Have made an extra effort in the market this week trying to take advantage of this feature and except for the bigger, standard crops, it's just not worth the hassle or head-ache. If you luck out while in the market hiring harvesters and manage to get someone to do your flowers or trees too then that's a bonus ... otherwise it's easier to do them yourself or let neighbors do them if they're free.
I tried to pedal this new update to my friends and neighbors too and they were either disinterested or absolutely not having a bar of the market-place regardless.
I read the hiring and hiring practices thread yesterday and see the bad reputation of the market-place is well deserved and wide-spread. It also shows it's an ongoing problem the devs must be well aware of and in hindsight this attempted fix, to me, is like putting a band-aid on a gaping wound.
Looking forward to a better solution being found for this problem.
