You can buy a prepaid Visa Card at stores like WalMart, then use that card to buy your Farm Cash or Face Book credits, I think. That should, if it works, allow you to make purchases without using your personal credit or debit card online.

Has anyone had experience using prepaid credit cards? I don't think your name is connected with it or your bank account. I've not tried it but am thinking that would solve your concern.

Happy Farming
Love the update
Love letting employees use my x10 tools

Walmart & gamestop both sell facebook gift cards. No need to let facebook have a record of your accounts. This is what I do & how I gift nieces & nephews & it works great.

Like someone else mentioned that the incentive to purchase the FC tools now is gone. They can use tools of the person that hired them and if they make their farms bigger the only FC tool they would need is the seeder, cause the other things they could hire out to someone that has the FC tools to harvest and plow.

They had the coin tool poll which they should have asked the question in the poll also about using the hiring farmers FC tools, but they only asked about the coin tools.

Now if they would add an option to turn this off, then the ones that wanted that feature would be happy and the ones that doesn't want someone to use their tools would be happy also. That would be win/win.

Perhaps there is a loss of incentive to buy some of the FC tools.... however, perhaps that farmer will be intrigued enough to buy FC facilities. After all, you can make some coin if you harvest and plow for another.... but no where near as much as you can with facilities. So as some point they will have made more coin, increased their inventory, and may not be able to do anything with it except sell it. .

Thanks for the update. However, you did it again. Increased the usage of petrochemical barrels and its resulting products without making it easier to obtain them. Please Please Please increase the production of Petrochemical barrels in Oil Refineries.

I am so sad reading people unwilling to share a virtual combine with someone because they think it is unfair at how "hard we had to work" <----------------LAWL
You don't want people to use your fake tools..don't hire anyone..simple as that.That will teach those newbies.I mean,we do not want them gaining levels and beating us at this game do we?We worked hard to get that farming trophy...and I will be darned if some new guy/gal can come in and get one to...because I spent real money on fake things.I also spent real money on FC facilities...I should make sure that they can not get into those as well when I ask for help with my fac's.
Now if you excuse me..I need to go sit over my farm kingdom and laugh at the serfs as they plow 1x1 squares...as is only right.

What's really sad about it is that people have been begging for this very thing for nearly a year and it has NOT been the people without tools. It has been those of us who have all the tools who suggested it in the suggestions thread because without this ability it has become more and more difficult to find reliable help in the market. Too many farmers would come to do our work and either 1) do nothing and not say anything or 2) do part of the work and also not say anything about what they did not do. Both scenarios were because we had "too much" work for them. And now people are complaining because Slashkey did exactly what we wanted so the developers cannot win.

I don't think anyone is blaming Slashkey, I know I don't, and not everyone has been begging for this to be added, I noticed that they are adding the option to opt out, which is fair for the ones that didn't beg for it, this should make everyone happy. Everyone has the right to their opinion whether anyone agrees with it or not.

Were I a newbie with no tools and knowing that I could use yours when hired by you as long as I have fuel I would love to do your farms for you. Oh, you won't let me use them, sorry then I will not work for you. Yep, that button to disable it will sure make people want to work for you. I am afraid that button will not make you popular with those who are trying to level up so they can buy their tools and hire new players.
