Well I can see how some of you might be peeved by the new belt pop-ups BUT I was quite pleased when I harvested my corn and got to a blue belt without trying too hard. You dont have to post all the requests - I just closed the boxes down! I dont like clogging mine and my friends wall either.
I think its a great little extra when playing - I am at the very top of the levels with so many XP I will probably skip a few by the time new levels come out so I am pleased to have something else to aim for.
Harvesting, plowing etc can be so boring - this makes it a bit more interesting IMHO!
Thanks Raul and the team.

To the Belt Complainers - you will only get the pop-ups until you have the black belt. For things on the farm like trees and flowers, or for crops one growns en mass, that happens quickly.
The News Feed is only clogged up because so many FTers are chooseing to post every time to get every level belt for every object. If you are posting yours, then you are part of the problem. Just pick one or two crops and post the highest belt for that crop.

Its all well and good the echoers of "it will only happen until you get black belts". That could take people weeks as not everyone lives on this game. Most of those people wont ever get there because they just wont play. That is all that is going to be achieved here. If everyone was going to get to black belts real quick, then what is the real aim of the Belts anyway? Lets give a thought to the people that are on much lower levels.. shock horror, yes there are people on lower levels you realise, that are going to have these notifications and pop ups for what will seem like forever!

Having said that. The Devs of this game are best bar none and this is the only thing I can see that has been negative in the years I have been playing. if this is a mistake, so be it, but I think these poor people have copped a hammering over this. Im sure they will rework the theory of the Belts and try and make everyone happy again.. a task i feel is not so enviable right now! Regardless of this Raul and all the Devs.. you lot do a brilliant job and maybe the rest of us should keep sight of all the brilliant things the Devs have done with this game and cut them a bit of slack on this one issue.. frustrating as it is though lol... yes.. its driving me crazy too

yes they do a fantastic job and i have always said that but the belt design is a shocker

I'm not causing the problem, because I won't post them, but I have also messaged my neighbours and asked them to stop. However, the 'opt out' should not have been in the system. We should have to 'opt in' if we want to publish, not have to click 'skip' if we don't want to.

I have just harvested a farm for my friend, and had a total of 13 pop-up on my screen which refuse to be ignored whilst working. This is ridiculous.

The poor mods have probably all run away to hide in the Rubber Room and I'm afraid I couldn't blame them for doing so.

- having our farms close down on us after being forced to click on a 'belt' post.
- having 'belt' posts take away from being able to send other ingredients to our neighbours.

Surely our devs could have foreseen problems and diverted them before setting it up in such a ridiculous manner.

i stand by what i said......and people need to be more discerning about what they post personally i will onlly post black belts as they will serve to help my friends gain the most in return and if one has a balanced approach to farming there shouldnt be the plethora of pls send me this and pls send me that ..... and when you consider an over all picture .....one dud release (according to some ppls) for how many really brilliant ones/??????????????

I dont actually see this as a negative thing - it just needs a bit of tweaking to get everyone happy.

Maybe there is a way of having the belt system without the pop-ups?? Just have something in the seeds menu so we can check where we are and maybe an option to tell our friends if we want??? I like the belt system but I can see how it can be annoying with the pop-ups and requests to friends.
