I really don't know how long I've been playing -- it's been awhile -- and I know at times I've spent a lot of money on FC when I could. But I can count on one hand the number of times I've had enough extra that I could give away FC items. And I don't need any hands to count the number of FC items people have sent me, because I don't have friends clamoring to send me stuff. :-D
On the one hand, when a new update comes out, there are so many people who are complaining about how expensive things have gotten. I know not everyone is in that position, but I was surprised at how many people were counting down when they would be able to give away their FC. And now with the update and the new restrictions, they're complaining about how much they have to spend in real money to give away FC? I'm so confused.
If you aren't buying the FC that you're giving away, where is it coming from? If you've maxed out level-wise, you aren't getting much "free" FC anymore. The quests don't add much, either. At a max of 4 FC a week, that's not enough to do anything. When they *do* add new levels, the 25 FC you get isn't enough to buy an FC facility anymore, or do much with expanding farms. And the offers -- well, they're a joke. I tried those early on and never received anything from any of them.
So, I guess what I'm wondering is -- where is this source of this free FC that is so bountiful you can give it away?
I did see mention of groups that have some kind of contests going on. This is the first I've heard of those -- is *this* what all the fuss is about?
Thanks!!!

I have often bought Farm Cash to send gifts to my friends who play the game, Birthdays, Christmas etc because I appreciate their friendship and help in the game and would have no other way of sending them a gift in real life.
And why shouldn't family members be able to send FC gifts to each other to help out when they need too?
There are many people who play games on Facebook and wouldn't dream of spending their real money on a game probably because of the expense or don't feel a "free" game is worth it. But they are restricted in how they play the game and the time it takes. And most of my friends who have bought Farm Cash and spent a fortune probably realise how that money could have been put to better use in real life.
Farm Cash is always being devalued with either the amount we get for our money, terms of inflation or even exchange rates for other countries.
I agree that there is not much for any of us at the top levels anymore. Waiting 3 months for more farm cash and in the meantime having to do Quests so when they do bring out 25FC I can buy something with it!
And this new competition they brought out is a joke. All I can say about that is if those who want to continually fill up their factories and deplete their resources for a "chance" yes a "chance" to get to 1st position to earn 2FC must need their heads testing. It relies too much on others and not just yourself.
